Working on the same principle as the last mjpg_stream implemenation, here it is: a portace plugin !

After couple of hours, here is it: A libcaca extension to Mjpg-Stream

You need img2txt from the libcaca-utilities and /dev/shm to be mounted and writable (or change to another location)

/dev/shm is present on most systems and is a mounted filesystem located on the main ram.

The source is in past the page brake.

The past few days i looked at ways could use my Logitech Quickcam Pro 5000 USB Webcamera. Skype 2 did a nice job using all its features, including to my surprise, the integrated microphone.

Installing the driver/module was a piece of cake, goto http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/ pickup the latest stable and do the usual compile&install, then load the module.

You may need to reboot at this point.

Now some testing was in order, pickup the luvcview viewer (you need libsdl-dev packages to compile). Make it, then you can run it just by ./luvcview ( if you have more video devices installed, you may need to set the according device it needs to read, see readme ) or install it with a quick 'sudo cp luvcview /usr/local/bin/' for later reuse.

Ok, i got the cam running, i can see myself, and i can chat to people with Skype, what next ? (If it didnt work for you at this stage, the next steps wont help you.)
