Re: [Motion-user] Motion on Raspberry Pi - Very Low Frame Rate

[Mārtiņš P. <mp...@he...>]

I’m able to get 12 FPS @1280x720 with USB camera using mjpg_streamer and
vlc. The webcam should support MJPG pixel format (check with uvcdynctrl -f).

Start mjpg_streamer:

mjpg_streamer -b -i "input_uvc.so -r 1280x720 -f 30 " -o "output_http.so -w
/usr/www"

 

In motion.conf:

netcam_url http://localhost:8080/?action=stream

ffmpeg_cap_new off

webcam_port 0

on_event_start cvlc http://localhost:8080/?action=stream
--sout='#standard{mux=avi,dst=/disk/Movies/motion/'%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S'.avi,ac
cess=file}' &

on_event_end kill $(ps aux | grep '[v]lc' | awk '{print $2}')

 

The only drawback is it takes several seconds between starting vlc and vlc
starting to write video.

Raspberry pi is connected through wifi.

 

With motion (ffmpeg_cap_new on) was getting 2 FPS @1280x720.
