I have bought the NoIr cam for the Raspberry Pi. I stream the video of that camera to my other Ubuntu server using VLC:
cvlc v4l2:///dev/video0 --v4l2-width 1920 --v4l2-height 1080 --v4l2-chroma h264 --sout '#standard{access=http,mux=ts,dst=0.0.0.0:12345}'
The problem with this is that when I cancel the stream using ^C, the stream can not be restarted.
First stream (working):
raspberrypi :: ~/scripts % sudo modprobe bcm2835-v4l2
raspberrypi :: ~/scripts % cvlc v4l2:///dev/video0 --v4l2-width 1920 -- v4l2-height 1080 --v4l2-chroma h264 --sout '#standard{access=http,mux=ts,dst=0.0.0.0:12345}'

When I cancel after the above command and try again, I get the following output:

So far I have checked, using htop, that no VLC process remains and I can't seem to find one. To me it seems like the resource (the video) is not being released by canceling the previous stream.
Any tips?
