Re: How to forward webcams from the same LAN to the public network on Raspberry Pi?

Two ways: ( I'm assuming that the IP-Camera has its web interface on standard HTTP port 80 ) A; Create a port forwarding rule on the pi with iptables. So then if you use http://10.8.0.3:8080 from the PC it gets forwarded to 192.168.1.64:80 Maybe something like this... ( iptables are HARD to understa...

Re: Several possibilities of problems, where to start?

If systemd logging is enabled you can inspect logs from previous boot by using this command.

Code: Select all

journalctl -b -1
Since you had to do a power-cut there is a chance the logs could be corrupted..

Re: building Blender 2.79 / install

Which model of Pi is your Pi ?
Are your OS up to date ?

There is no ARM/Linux build of blender in that link you posted.

I would suggest trying the standard install first:

Re: Frame rate question (blurry image)

If the camera has a 1/30s shutter speed and screen refresh is 60fps and game is running > 60fps the camera will be exposed to *two* frames.

But maybe the screen just has really bad LCD refresh times ( I mean it says LG ;-) ), is it a Monitor or really a TV ?

Having FPS higher than screen refresh rate should normally give tearing and not ghosting..
