<div dir="ltr"><div>well, I was trying to get "something" in a page. I am not that happy with using ffmpeg because it creates a bunch of files indeed and there is a delay of about a minute (might be great for streaming a movie or such).</div><div><br></div><div>I don't mind a delay of a few seconds, buffering etc, but a minute or two is not what I am looking for.</div><div>I did this ffmpeg html5/hls trial to see if I could get at least something working in a browser.</div><div><br></div><div>I have been reading up a little, not pretending I understand everything.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>So the mechanism (from what I read) is to set oup a stream/pipe with gstreamer/gst-launch which connects to a camera and 'transcodes" the stream and "dumps" it somewhere on a 'device' (sink?).</div><div><br></div><div>So I guess I need to install an apache plugin or so to make that part work, or is there another way to do it? (or some dev device??) From what I read there is something called a "souphttpclientsink", I also saw a hlssink mentioned (probably the same issues as I have now with fmpeg) so I am wondering what 'sink' to use, and how if I want the stream to be displayed in a webpage (I don't want the client/browser/player to connect to anything else then http port 80).</div><div><br></div><div>thanks,</div><div><br></div><div>Ron<br></div><div><h2><span class="gmail-refentrytitle"><br></span></h2></div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, May 13, 2019 at 12:50 AM Marc Leeman <<a href="mailto:marc.leeman@gmail.com">marc.leeman@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Ah, but you're not using WebRTC now, you are using HLS.<br> <br> HLS will create a bunch of small files in a TS container for the<br> browser to pick up from a web location.<br> <br> If you want to recreate this with GStreamer, you can use the hlssink.<br> <br> Just feed it a stream in a transport stream container and it will do<br> something similar.<br> <br> If you drop the files in a location served by your webserver, you can<br> access it with a browser.<br> <br> <br> On Mon, 13 May 2019 at 06:55, R C <<a href="mailto:cjvijf@gmail.com" target="_blank">cjvijf@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br> ><br> > So I manages to get some streaming going, but using ffmpeg but want to use gstreamer really (ffmpeg creates a bunch of files and the player somehow starts 3 minutes after the current time.<br> ><br> > So I would like to accomplish the same as I have working with ffmpeg:<br> ><br> ><br> > Here is what I am using.<br> ><br> > this is the html:<br> ><br> > <!DOCTYPE html><br> > <html><br> ><br> > <header><br> ><br> > <title>Live Cam</title><br> ><br> > <script src="<a href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/hls.js@latest" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/hls.js@latest</a>"></script><br> ><br> > <script><br> > function hlsStart() {<br> > if (Hls.isSupported()) {<br> > var video = document.getElementById('video');<br> > var hls = new Hls();<br> ><br> > // bind them together<br> > hls.attachMedia(video);<br> > hls.on(Hls.Events.MEDIA_ATTACHED, function () {<br> > console.log("video and hls.js are now bound together !");<br> > hls.loadSource("<a href="http://zoneminder.localdomain/IP-Cameras/stream/test-camera/mystream.m3u8" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://zoneminder.localdomain/IP-Cameras/stream/test-camera/mystream.m3u8</a>");<br> > hls.on(Hls.Events.MANIFEST_PARSED, function (event, data) {<br> > console.log("manifest loaded, found " + data.levels.length + " quality level");<br> > });<br> > });<br> > }<br> > }<br> > </script><br> > </header><br> > <body onload="hlsStart();"><br> > <video id="video" autoplay="true" controls="controls"></video><br> > </body><br> > </html><br> ><br> ><br> ><br> > and this is what I am doing with ffmpeg:<br> ><br> > ffmpeg -i "rtsp://192.168.x.y:554/user=admin_password=XXXXXXXX_channel=1_stream=0.sdp?real_stream" -y -c:a aac -b:a 160000 -ac 2 -s 960x540 -c:v libx264 -b:v 800000 -hls_time 10 -hls_list_size 10 -start_number 1 mystream.m3u8<br> ><br> ><br> > any suggestions?
