Because cscore has been delayed more than I had anticipated, I’ve uploaded a build of mjpg-streamer. See https://github.com/robotpy/roborio-packages
mjpg-streamer is clunky to manage, and once cscore is available, you’ll find that migrating to it from mjpg-streamer should be fairly straightforward and will offer a number of advantages (including integration with the default dashboards). But, this will get you going for now.
When I try to download it with the command:
C:\Users\Team1288\Desktop\robotpy-2017.0.6>py installer.py download-opkg mjpg-streamer
I get the error:

Heh, well that’s annoying. The installer does a topological sort to figure out what items it should download and what order it should install them in… having a cycle makes that a bit annoying. I’ll see if I can figure out a sane way to deal with this tonight.
C:\Users\Team1288\Desktop\robotpy-2017.0.6>py installer.py download-opkg mjpg-streamer
works now.
C:\Users\Team1288\Desktop\robotpy-2017.0.6>py installer.py install-opkg mjpg-streamer
does not. media-ctl depends on libv4l and libv4l depends on media-ctl.

Odd, it worked for me, but the problem is that the installer script installs each package separately… so it can’t find the one that has the dependency cycle.
I would recommend just ssh’ing into the robot and installing the packages present in /home/admin/opkg_cache manually. Just run ‘opkg install FOO.ipk’… you will probably have to specify libv4l and media-ctl at the same time.
We would love to get this installed, but the active install option seems to require an internet connection - how do we get our roboRIO connected to the internet? Do we just have to plug it into a router or something?
robotpy-installer 2017.1.3 can correctly handle installing packages with cycles now (I even tested it with the roborio disconnected from the internet this time!).
bvisness: The robotpy installer can do offline installations, see the documentation for details.
http://robotpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/install/packages.html
Try it out and let me know. If the documentation sucks, let me know and I’ll update it.
Thanks, we’ll give that a try. Last time we tried the offline installation, the download step succeeded but the install step failed. (Same error as razar51.)
Thanks for your prompt fixes on this!
