How can I get this working with the wired picamera?

[mutemute]

Module runs fine, but there's no activity led on the camera, so it's not being accessed.. thank you!

Also.. I'm running magic mirror on a 2.8" pitft screen attached to the gpio pins.. I attached a usb webcam to test (that worked) BUT it won't blank the little screen, it will blank the HDMI port, but the little screen stays on. Thanks again for any input!

Sorry, I havent got a pi camera to test this module with :-( Any help is welcome though.

Hi there, I have a Pi camera and would love to get it working.
The raspistill command etc works perfectly; no additional installation - just enable it with raspi-config. Little red light comes on when it's capturing.
However, no red light when this module is activated. How can I troubleshoot? Did you want to experiment with mine remotely via ssh?

This module here works by using the navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia functionality of the browser / electron. I assume this isnt possible with the raspi cam out of the box.
Unfortunatly my interaction possibilities are limited ATM. Maybe you can try this out https://reprage.com/post/pi-camera-module-in-the-browser and see if it shows up then?

Not sure if I did the right thing but I added module MMM-iFrame. First up tried just putting camera.html locally on the pi, and I'd get "Cannot GET [local path]/camera.html". The camera.html file being the page outlined on https://reprage.com/post/pi-camera-module-in-the-browser.

Then tried putting camera.html on http://[another mini server on my home network]/camera.html.
Both times the space for the iFrame would load, but no picture was coming up. 2nd time no error though. Doesn't appear to be activating the camera (no red light either).

I'm not sure below link is of any assistance to point me in the right direction? They also refer to getUserMedia
raspberrypi/linux#1498

Re-openign so I might have a look at it later. Got no pi-camera though yet.

1. Open /etc/modules-load.d/modules.conf
2. Add bcm2835-v4l2 to the end of the file and save it.
3. Reboot.
4. Profit

So you got my module working with the pi camera @rev138 ?

[rev138]

@rejas I did, yes. It works fine, you just need to load the kernel module for the video.

[rejas]

Thx for the info @rev138 Is that module already installed in the standard raspberry image? WOndering if those 4 steps are all that is needed so I can add it to the README for other users to follow.

[rev138]

It should be, yes.

[rejas]

Added your tips to the README!

[rev138]

Thanks for making this module!

Thanks to https://github.com/alexyak :-) I just polished it :-)
