Using Pygame To Stream Over Sockets In Python Error

i am working on with a webcam script i got of the internet in python and i am using pygame module the code is import socket import pygame import sys port=5014 #create pygame

Solution 1:

I was using the same code and getting a similar error, the solution was to lower the resolution of the webcam because mine could not handle the 800x600.

I also changed the "server" and "client" so the weebcam server acts like the "socket server"

try the following code, make sure that your video is correct, on my example "/dev/video0" yours could be different. Start the webcam server first.

Webcam server:

import socket
import pygame
import pygame.camera
import sys
import time

port = 5000
pygame.init()

serversocket = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
serversocket.bind(("",port))
serversocket.listen(1)

pygame.camera.init()
webcam = pygame.camera.Camera("/dev/video0",(320,240))
webcam.start()

while True:
        connection, address = serversocket.accept()
        image = webcam.get_image() # capture image
        data = pygame.image.tostring(image,"RGB") # convert captured image to string, use RGB color scheme
        connection.sendall(data)
        time.sleep(0.1)
        connection.close()

Client server:

import socket
import pygame
import sys

host = "10.0.0.13"
port=5000
screen = pygame.display.set_mode((320,240),0)


whileTrue:
    clientsocket=socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
    clientsocket.connect((host, port))
    received = []
    # loop .recv, it returns empty string when done, then transmitted data is completely receivedwhileTrue:
        #print("esperando receber dado")
        recvd_data = clientsocket.recv(230400)
        ifnot recvd_data:
            breakelse:
            received.append(recvd_data)

    dataset = ''.join(received)
    image = pygame.image.fromstring(dataset,(320,240),"RGB") # convert received image from string
    screen.blit(image,(0,0)) # "show image" on the screen
    pygame.display.update()

    # check for quit eventsfor event in pygame.event.get():
        if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
            pygame.quit()
            sys.exit()
