2.Add missing videodev.h

  sudo ln -s /usr/include/linux/videodev2.h /usr/include/linux/videodev.h

3.Unzip the MJPG-Streamer source code

  unzip mjpg-streamer-code-182.zip

4.Build MJPG-Streamer

  cd mjpg-streamer-code-182/mjpg-streamer

  make mjpg_streamer input_file.so output_http.so

5.Install MJPG-Streamer

  sudo cp mjpg_streamer /usr/local/bin

  sudo cp output_http.so input_file.so /usr/local/lib/

  sudo cp -R www /usr/local/www

6.Run This Code

  python main.py

7.Start MJPG-Streamer

  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib mjpg_streamer -i "input_file.so -f /path/to/your/save/jpg/file -n pic.jpg" -o "output_http.so -w /usr/local/www"

  Example : 

  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/ mjpg_streamer -i "input_file.so -f /home/mazyar/Desktop -n out.jpg" -o "output_http.so -w /usr/local/www"

Now you can connect with your web browser and watch the stream live. If you want to watch

from within the same Raspberry Pi you can enter http://localhost:8080 in the browser's
