The script installs `v4l2loopback`, the GStreamer tools and the "good" plugins and `pavucontrol` if required, but you will have to install the [Android SDK](http://developer.android.com/sdk) by yourself. To use this script, simply run it with `./prepare-videochat.sh` and follow instructions. You may have to customize a few variables in the CONFIGURATION section before using it, though. You can also use something like `./prepare-videochat.sh horizontal-flip` to flip the video horizontally, in case you might need it. -Please make sure that audio is enabled on IP Webcam, or the script won't work! +You can choose what streams you want to recieve: audio, video or audio with video. It can be choosen using CAPTURE_STREAM variable. Make sure, that IP webcam is streaming corresponding streams, otherwise the script won't work! Ideas for future work: * switch to Python and use the official GStreamer binding. I'd love to see that, but I don't have enough free time :-(. -* make a separated config file (system-wide and user-defind) -* make another file (ex. prepare-mic) for preparing audio without video or allow it via config +* make a separated config file (system-wide and user-defined) Disclaimer: the script has only been tested in my local installation of Ubuntu 13.04 and on Arch Linux. I think it should work on most recent Debian-based distributions as well (and Debian, of course). If you need any help, please create an issue on this project. |
