TinyPilot UStreamer Update

Login to your TinyPilot, sudo to root and backup your ustreamer configuration file:

pilot@tinypilot:~# sudo su -

root@tinypilot:~# cp /lib/systemd/system/ustreamer.service /lib/systemd/system/ustreamer.service.bak

root@tinypilot:~# ls -l /lib/systemd/system/ustreamer.service*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 443 Feb 13 00:24 /lib/systemd/system/ustreamer.service
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 443 Feb 13 11:17 /lib/systemd/system/ustreamer.service.bak

Now, edit your ustreamer.service configuration file and save changes.

root@tinypilot:~# nano /lib/systemd/system/ustreamer.service

When the editor comes up, update the contents of the file to look as follows. Updates are to add the --slowdown, --quality 80 and I updated the --drop-same-frames from 30 to 90

[Unit]
Description=uStreamer - Lightweight, optimized video encoder
After=syslog.target network.target

  --drop-same-frames 90 \
  --persistent \
  --dv-timings \
  --slowdown \
  --quality 80

Then hit ctrl + x to exit the editor, Y to save your changes and enter to confirm overwriting the file. Now you need to restart the ustreamer service.

root@tinypilot:~# systemctl daemon-reload && sudo service ustreamer restart
