So I finally gave up on the complete mess that is Video::Capture::V4l and went back to debugging why streamer isn't working. After a long time of scattering printf's through the code to figure out where it was failing, I finally discover that my problem was that streamer no longer recognizes .jpg as a jpeg image file. Gar. Now streamer works some, but still fails often for a reason unknown to me. So I still have nothing working, and that does not make me happy.

Eric Richardson lives in Atlanta, Georgia, where he works on payments infrastructure for Cash App.

Past lives involved streaming audio for Southern California Public Radio, running a hyperlocal news site for Downtown Los Angeles, working on custom mapping code, and writing Perl at the Jet Propulsion Labratory.
