Remote Camera and Streaming

1st Official Post

    Hello

    1. Is it possible to run a remote camera connected to wi-fi on libreelec?

    It is specifically to activate the image from the camera from my child's room through libreelec so that I can see it on a regular basis.


    2. whether you can run your own streama on libreelec? It's best if it could be done through Youtube. I would like you to recommend the simplest and best option for online streaming

    3. Is there a bluetooth remote control working with libreelec?

    4. Is it possible to stream the image from the smartphone and play it on libreelec?


    Regards.

    1. Create a .strm file that links to the direct URL of the camera stream: Internet video and audio streams - Official Kodi Wiki and browse to the file via the Videos view then add to the favourites list.

    2. There are no camera drivers or camera apps in the OS so you cannot stream 'from' LE to YouTube (or any other service)

    3. BLE devices may not work correctly on Amlogic devices due to the older kernel. Otherwise BT devices should just work.

    4. No, because there is no Miracast or AirPlay (video) support in Kodi.

    Regarding camera it's nicely done with the Surveillance Room Addon..you just need to have your camera stream url's..It even works with motion detection for Foscam cameras..and displays a small window (PIP)with camera feed on your screen when motion is detected..you can even control pan/tilt from Libreelec..

    I managed to get 4 cameras streaming together on 1 divided screen on a Rpi2 but was struggling at 720p..Works fine with 1 at a time

    You don't have to stream the image of your smartphone to Libreelec as Libreelec can play your camera url directly but if you really want to do that you can always use something like Screen Stream over HTTP

    Hello, I created the file name.strm I pasted the address to it (http: // 192.168.0.7) I copied it to libreelec and when trying to launch it pops up that it can not be played.

    I use a Sony Z2 smartphone and a WEBCAM IP application as a camera, do you know why I can not play live stream? The stream normally works on the computer.

    That's probably not enough of a url for a camera stream...you might need to add server port and stream id and format....

    should look something like this

    Code
    http://192.168.0.10:1234/video.mjpg

or

    edit...maybe you don't need port for the android app...sorry I don't mess much with android...

    If the stream is working on the computer you can try this...in chrome open the camera feed....rightclick on the video and click on "copy image address"..then paste that in your playlist...

    does not work, it seems to me that there is a problem with a line of code entered correctly with the ip address.

    rtsp: //192.168.0.7: 8080 / - and try it too

    Chewit - No kodi debug log = No problem i need to off debug log?

    I make debug off and have communicate (cant find next possition to play), i look if i off my web ip camera on phone, kodi show another communicate (launch it pops up that it can not be played)
