May I ask can we stream the video data via WIFI and let others view the stream through the internet?

Hello, I can use FFmpeg to stream the data from /opt/frame0. And I can view something on my laptop. But the stream is something with green background. Do you meet a similar issue before?
Does something wrong with my camera or the type of visual stream is not correct?

Sorry for the late reply. I try the code again, the bug is gone. I can open /dev/frame0 correctly.

Thank you very much

I meet another question that I try to run hello_hal3_camera -l /dev/frame0 before starting docker, but gives the error

~ # hello_hal3_camera -l /dev/frame0

Camera id: 0
Image width: 640
Image height: 480
Number of frames to dump: 0
Frame FIFO: /dev/frame0
Camera mode: preview
SUCCESS: Camera module opened
Camera Id: 0 Facing: 0
Camera Id: 1 Facing: 1

Error: Could not open named FIFO /dev/frame0
Camera Id: 2 Facing: 1

Camera HAL3 test is now running

Thank you! I will have a trial to do that!

In this documentation(https://docs.modalai.com/docker-on-voxl/#access-to-mipi-cameras), last part, I get this code

ffmpeg -an -sn -f rawvideo -pix_fmt nv21 -s:v 640x480 -i /opt/frame0 <output options>

I already set up the docker with roskinetic-xenial_v1_0. Would you like to give an example to use FFmpeg? I want to stream the visual data and view such data on my laptop.

I tried to save the video locally. but the system give me error

ffmpeg -an -sn -f rawvideo -pix_fmt nv21 -s:v 640x480 -i /opt/frame0 output.mov

/opt/frame0: Is a directory

Thank you!
