Webcam - Grab an image from the command line
Wed, 02/18/2009 - 02:52 — Phrank
I've tried _ALL_ of the command line webcam apps that Ubuntu has.... To no avail!!!!
Messages like "No supported palette found," etc, were common.
The webcam works great in Cheese and other GUI apps, but I want to use the camera on my server.
But then I stumbled upon 'streamer' - It didn't show up when I apt-cache searched for webcam - I'm not sure why :(
sudo apt-get install streamerAnyhow - I can now grab images (or video) from the command line now-
streamer -f jpeg -o /path/to/image.jpegYay!
