This server is part of the Robobot repository at svn/robobot/stream_server and should be started at boot-time. (see ~/on_reboot.bash)

Or try:

cd /home/local/svn/robobot/stream_server
/usr/bin/python3 stream_server.py

Watch result using a browser

Using the IP of the robot (in this case, robot Coco), the robot camera image can be viewed at this address:

Change configuration

Change the configuration in the streamer source code:

/home/local/svn/robobot/stream_server/stream_server.py

Some other example configurations are commented out near the end of the file.

Reboot or restart to see the effect.

Restart by first stopping the running version:

 pkill python3

Then restart

cd /home/local/svn/robobot/stream_server
python3 stream_server.py
