[spook-l] spook and mplayer

[Leopold Palomo-Avellaneda]

Well,

I answer to myself.... typically the problem is to be nervous trying to do 
something ....

mplayer  rtsp://ip_of_the_host:7070/webcam

but there are some points that probably affected me:

- for example, you have a framegrabber card and you have /dev/video0 device. 
If you have some problem in the cable of there's no input in the /dev/video0

you can run spook:
palomo at sonar:~$ ./spook -D
Mar  3 14:43:22 spook[31740]: listening on control socket spook.sock
Mar  3 14:43:22 spook[31740]: frame size is 1921600
Mar  3 14:43:22 spook[31740]: listening on tcp port 7070
Mar  3 14:43:22 spook[31740]: v4l2: using capture device "Adlink PCI-MPG24, 
channel #2"
Mar  3 14:43:22 spook[31740]: writing access logs to spook.log


no problem at all, and you run mplayer:

.......

Failed to get a SDP description from URL "rtsp://xx.yy.37.43:7070/webcam": 
cannot handle DESCRIBE response: RTSP/1.0 404 Not Found

and spook says:

Mar  3 14:43:28 spook[31740]: client request: 'OPTIONS'

Mar  3 14:43:28 spook[31740]: client closed TCP connection


so, maybe this is a problem because you didn't know if there's a problem or 
not. I will be investigating this issue ...

Leo
