I can then use ffmpeg to stream the video from the remote server to mplayer runnig on a local PC (or do whatever else I want with the video): $ ssh ffmpeg -i /dev/video0 -f mjpeg - | mplayer -cache 1024 -noconsolecontrols. # v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0 -set-fmt-video=width=768,height=480,pixelformat=YUYV

For example: # v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0 -set-standard=1 I use the “v4l2-ctl” command (provided by the v4l-utils package) to manage the card.

Then we'll take a look at some Distro news with Alma Linux, Q4OS 4.6 and a bunch of Fedora news such as Fedora 35 Beta, Fedora Kinoite & Nest with Fedora. Then we've got KDE news for KDE Plasma 5.23, Plasma 5.24, Kdenlive, Kalendar & more. On this episode of This Week in Linux, we've got news for the Steam Deck, Steam Next Fest, Steam Proton.
