Preview MJPEG Stream on a Ricoh Theta X with Python and OpenCV

[craig]

thanks for posting this information. I’m not familiar with Windows commands and didn’t know that netsh could be used to connect to the computer WiFi to an access point.

I’m curious as to why the application would drop the WiFi connection.

Although I’m not using Python, I can save hundreds of frames to local storage without the WiFi dropping.

RICOH THETA SC2 livePreview Multiple Frame Extraction

[image] This demonstration shows how to test lmultiple livePreview frames from the SC2 at different intervals. In the example above, I am extracting one frame every 3000 milliseconds. Each frame is viewable as a 360 image. The first frame is shown below. [sc2_screenshot] The livePreview from the SC2 is coming at 30fps. I’m saving a frame every 90 frames. If I save 5 frames, the camera will have streamed approximately 450 frames. I’m using videos played on my development workstation as a…

Note that certain commands like takePicture will stop the livePreview (not drop the WiFi). You need to run camera.getLivePreview again when the preview stops.

I’m not testing with a THETA S. Maybe it is different with an S.
