camera

I've got a usb camera working with the camera-streamer service (according to the log) but it will still only connect on the MPEG streamer not the WebRTC as the crowsnest updated suggested in the webcam setup interface. Never got it to connect with the webrtc option. Problem is the video is so washed out that it's usless other than seeing something moving. I've tried using the v4l2 commands as well as custom flags to change the settings but I know nothing about the pi or the syntax of the commands and every site I go to it looks a little different. A : instead of an = or - instead of _. So what I need is someone to send an example of the command line to set my camera white balance and gamma I would be very grateful. I've got most of my lighting turned off just so I can see something otherwise anything shiny (i got allot of shiney) just blows out the video.

Solution

After it started using the WebRTC steamer I was able to bump it up to 1024x768 and ask for 15fps but with the WebRTC streamer I don't get a FPS count on the screen but it looks okay until honeycomb infill kicks off then its a blur lol , I don't know how to mark this as solved but I'll try to figure it out.
