HI
We are trying to implement camview embedded in Axis, but not having any success. 

I followed the instruction here  wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Adding_Camview

Repository added and update seemed to work. 

LCNC starts, but the camview tab is blank. 

Anyone done this lately?

Thanks
Henk

Running 2.8.1 , Debian Stretch

I just used mplayer. I had a lot of trouble getting camview to work.

Install mplayer
sudo apt install mplayer
and below the
[DISPLAY]
section add these lines
in the .ini file

EMBED_TAB_NAME = Camera
EMBED_TAB_LOCATION = ntb_preview
EMBED_TAB_COMMAND = mplayer -wid {XID} tv://0 -vf  rectangle=-1:2:-1:240,rectangle=2:-1:320:-1

way easier than camview.
Worked in 2.7, 2.8 and 2.9 under buster and bullseye...

HI
Thanks for your reply.
My problem is with the command below.

EMBED_TAB_COMMAND = mplayer -wid {XID} tv://0 -vf rectangle=-1:2:-1:240,rectangle=2:-1:320:-1

It returns an error saying "The wid option must be an integer: {XID}"

Hm, never encountered that error. It ran out of the box....

try
sudo dmesg | tail

what does it tell you?

then, are there video devices ?
what does
ls /dev/
show?

After a restart, does
 
mplayer tv:// -tv driver=v4l2

show a window of the camera?

Mine is a cheap China webcam with a 5m cable, but worked out of the box.
Strange that cheese worked with your cam and mplayer not, but
sometimes that happens
Maybe you can insert cheese in a tab in axis? But I don't know how to do
that...

i restarted and got this, i am going to try with cheese (ive had my camera a few years as the belief was that the high resolution cameras sometimes used video compression and were not good for part tracing / had a lower frame rate)

qtvcp has a cam module panel that can be embedded too.
