Streaming Methods#

what are targets?#

resolution
latency
bandwith
ease of use
- not more languages (not php)

Methods#

Comparison different Types:\

https://www.ipcamlive.com/faqs

get an ip camera ? for surveillance so perhaps not good latency
- https://www.controlbooth.com/threads/low-latency-ip-cameras.45601/
UV4L
GStreamer
RPI-Cam-Web-Interface
stream-headless-chrome
Raspivid
motion
- high cpu usage
RemoteMe
v4l2
ffmpeg
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FFmpeg ( what is avconv last news blog 12.02.2018)
netcat (nc ) for streaming / vlc else
RazTot gstreamer janus interessting setup.sh file
- didn't work -> janus threw errors (also libnice problem with configure.ac (got it from other repository ))

Other stuff#

raspivid not prefered method anymore now v4l2 is prefered src: https://qastack.com.de/raspberrypi/7446/how-can-i-stream-h-264-video-from-the-raspberry-pi-camera-module-via-a-web-serve

mpeg is veraltet -> bad compression and single images

h264 mjpeg dash-mpeg rtsp/rtmp/rtp m3u8(utf8 variante von m3u) hls difference?

hls dash mse create segments -> seconds of lag

some info
https://flussonic.com/blog/news/html5-streaming/

h264 hardware support on raspberry pi

webrtc? webRTC
- turn/stun server?
websockets

whats ffmpeg

concern that needs to be addressed
- restart stream (or close on lost connection)
- not sure which protocol but some had problems with that (ffmpeg perhaps)
- how to display h264 (raw)
- https://blog.ronnyvdb.net/2019/01/20/howto-stream-html5-video-h264-encoded-video-encapsulated-in-mp4-from-the-raspberry-pi-to-any-web-browser/ not sure if needed does some raspivid gstreamer stuff

boardcasting stuff
thought there was something possible with janus as a server
MedienServer
- Medooze-Media-Server für NodeJs: Compiling Fails https://openbase.io/js/medooze-media-server
Janus MCU Server (http://meetecho.com)
Kurento MCU Server (http://www.kurento.org/)

balena -

lag 1-3 sec
good setup/maintenance
fallback to mjpeg needs flag in chrome/firefox -> rly bad

restreamer
docker run -d --restart always --name restreamer -e "RS_USERNAME=fn" -e "RS_PASSWORD=pwd" -e "RS_MODE=RASPICAM" -p 8080:8080 -v /mnt/restreamer/db:/restreamer/db -v /opt/vc:/opt/vc --privileged datarhei/restreamer-armv7l:latest
major delay

Gstreamer complexity of multiplexers
Matthew Waters - GStreamer WebRTC.pdf

big problem wit surveillance solutions -> bad latency

Use Python Server
Node Server
Just other Server
