Getting Your Own Video
and Feeds
"One server to satisfy them all" could have been the name of this chapter. We now
have a great media server where we can share any media, but we would like to
be more independent so that we can choose the functionalities the server can have.
The goal of this chapter is to let you cross the bridge, where you are going to increase
your knowledge by getting your hands dirty. After all, you want to build your own
services, so why not create your own contents as well.
More specifically, here we will begin by building a webcam streaming service from
scratch, and we will see how this can interact with what we have implemented
previously in the server. We will also see how to set up a service to retrieve RSS
feeds. We will discuss the services in the following sections:
• Installing and running MJPG-Streamer
• Detecting the hardware device and installing drivers and libraries for
a webcam
• Configuring RSS feeds with Leed
