I am trying to get streaming images out of my custom bf537 board. I am not keen on any particular package to do this for now, and have tried the following three, with different degree of faliures. if anyone has got any of these working stable, please help-

my dist: uClinux-dist-2009R1-RC1

(1) camserv-

1970-01-01 03:44:09 [main] Trying to read config file "/etc/default/camserv.cfg":                  

1970-01-01 03:44:09 [main] Success reading config "/etc/default/camserv.cfg"                       

1970-01-01 03:44:09 [camconfig] Using default of "2359296" for [main]:shm_alloc                    

1970-01-01 03:44:10 [main] Picture taker could not be created!

in picture_loop.c  in cpid = fork() returns -1.

(2) w3camd

w3camd.c:  pid = 298                                                                               

incoming connection..Data access misaligned address violation

Continued from question above -

(2a) vidcat-

root:/> vidcat -d /dev/video0 -f jpeg -o cap1                                                      

mmap(): No such device                                                                             

Error: Can't get image

(3) ffmpeg runs for some seconds and then quits. I think there is another thread on similar issues with ffmpeag by sombody else-

root:/> ffmpeg -f video4linux -s 320x240 -i /dev/video0 -f mpegts udp:192.168.1.

I could have blamed my custom hardware board for this, but while ffmpeg runs i get correct video stream. Also i have been able to get the images using the v4l_test utility.

Any help would be great. thanks!
