Need help installing ustreamer

luckyflyer

Maybe a linux guy can help me out. I'm struggling (as I usually do with linux) to install ustreamer. The build for raspbian requires,

sudo apt install libevent-dev libevent-pthreads-2.1-6-dev libjpeg8-dev uuid-dev libbsd-dev

I get this error,

E: Unable to locate package libevent-pthreads-2.1-6-dev
E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'libevent-pthreads-2.1-6-dev'
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'libevent-pthreads-2.1-6-dev'

I do some checking and see that 2.1.6-dev is now 2.1.8-stable so I change to,

sudo apt install libevent-dev libevent-pthreads-2.1-8 libjpeg8-dev uuid-dev libbsd-dev

and get the same error.
What do I need to do to get this to work? Everything is up to date on the pi, Ustreamer is here.

My ultimate goal is to use ustreamer along with duetlapse like here,

@gtj0 said in DuetLapse available for Alpha testing:

Just FYI if you need streaming as well as time lapse. I set up ustreamer as the "owner" of the camera and pointed DuetLapse at its "/snapshot" URL. That way I have both a live stream and the time lapse at the same time.

Live stream is very helpful for me since the printer is about forty paces from my pc, thanks.

not anymore. They binned off using "-get" a while ago

I tried

sudo apt-get install libevent-dev libevent-pthreads-2.1-8 libjpeg8-dev uuid-dev libbsd-dev

and got the same error.

jay_s_uk

have you tried without specifying a version?

luckyflyer

Tried,

sudo apt-get install libevent libevent-pthreads libjpeg8-dev uuid-dev libbsd-dev

got the same error.

gtj0

@luckyflyer You don't have to specify libevent-pthreads. It's automatically installed when you install libevent

Also have you run an apt-get update lately?

luckyflyer

@gtj0

Yes, pi software install was new this morning with these on a stand alone pi3B+,

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo reboot

I want to get it right on the standalone pi before I try it on the Duet pi. I'll try just libevent.

@gtj0

I ran this,

sudo apt-get install libevent libjpeg8-dev uuid-dev libbsd-dev

and got this,

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo apt-get install libevent libjpeg8-dev uuid-dev libbsd-dev
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package libevent

I'm running the full desktop version of raspbian buster.

if you're building something you probaby need sudo apt install libevent-dev ?

also could you be running into ipv6 issues, every now and then my pi or debian systems insist on using ipv6 mirrors but it usually looks different. long shot, but might help someone else stumbling onto the thread https://www.vultr.com/docs/force-apt-get-to-ipv4-or-ipv6-on-ubuntu-or-debian

That worked

@bearer

sudo apt install libevent-dev

confused; thats what you started with after having not just skimmed the thread. gtj0 was right then

luckyflyer

No one is more confused than I am, lol.
I think the difference is I tried this complete line

sudo apt-get install libevent libjpeg8-dev uuid-dev libbsd-dev

I did not specify -dev and also yours did not have this at the end

libjpeg8-dev uuid-dev libbsd-dev

Man I appreciate the fact that linux is compact and efficient. But it's a real challenge to figure it out. Its very unforgiving.

luckyflyer

So my question now is have I left anything incomplete by not having this bit of code included

libjpeg8-dev uuid-dev libbsd-dev

A Former User

just add them with sudo apt install libjpeg8-dev uuid-dev libbsd-dev if you don't worst thing that happens is that make fails

luckyflyer

I ran

sudo apt-get install libjpeg8-dev uuid-dev libbsd-dev

and got this,

The following NEW packages will be installed:
  libbsd-dev libjpeg8 libjpeg8-dev

Finally I think I'm getting there.

Succuss, Got ustreamer to compile.

luckyflyer

I've got ustreamer compiled and it is supposed to default broadcast on http://127.0.0.1:8080
I get,
This site can’t be reached 127.0.0.1 refused to connect.
This is on chrome and edge doesn't connect either. I have temporarily disabled the firewall but still no connect.
When I try a different ip address with the start script for example 192.168.0.116:8080 I get

ERROR [127.103 main] -- Can't bind HTTP on [192.168.0.116]:80: Cannot assign requested address
I've tried other address's also with the same result.

Ustreamer doesn't show anything wrong on http://127.0.0.1:8080
below is its startup.

Help please.
