Success!
After a few months of building and trial and error the first successful livestream to YouTube happened today. Yes!
Here’s a peek at the setup.
I’m standing under a big umbrella and the Raspberry Pi is hanging from the tripod. I have my camcorder attached to the post just during halftime so I could take this photo. I am using a monopod to make it easier to control the zoom on the camera. I had to shield the computer from the rain using a high tech trash bag!
Unfortunately my son is injured and couldn’t play today, but it was great to be there to cheer the boys on anyway. Go Eastside!
Half-time in today’s game including some torrential rain. Welcome to boy’s soccer in the northwest!
Here’s a link to the YouTube video of the game.
EFC B02 White vs FWFC B02 Blue - 10/28/18 (Raspberry Pi Live-Stream)
The quality is close to that as if I’d uploaded the video file from my camcorder after the game. I may need to tweak the video setting a bit as the color is a bit hot on the reds, but it’s still a success in my book.
I’ll be posting a “how to” build the Raspberry Pi Live Streaming computer soon, complete with a parts list and step by step instructions.
