• Live streaming : node-media-server + Dash.js configured for real-time low latency

  7 juillet 2021, par Maoration

  We're working on an app that enables live monitoring of your back yard.
Each client has a camera connected to the internet, streaming to our public node.js server.

  



  I'm trying to use node-media-server to publish an MPEG-DASH (or HLS) stream to be available for our app clients, on different networks, bandwidths and resolutions around the world.

  



  Our goal is to get as close as possible to live "real-time" so you can monitor what happens in your backyard instantly.

  



  The technical flow already accomplished is :

  



  


  1. ffmpeg process on our server processes the incoming camera stream (separate child process for each camera) and publishes the stream via RTSP on the local machine for node-media-server to use as an 'input' (we are also saving segmented files, generating thumbnails, etc.). the ffmpeg command responsible for that is :

     



     -c:v libx264 -preset ultrafast -tune zerolatency -b:v 900k -f flv rtmp://127.0.0.1:1935/live/office

  


  2. node-media-server is running with what I found as the default configuration for 'live-streaming'

     



     private NMS_CONFIG = {
server: {
  secret: 'thisisnotmyrealsecret',
},
rtmp_server: {
  rtmp: {
    port: 1935,
    chunk_size: 60000,
    gop_cache: false,
    ping: 60,
    ping_timeout: 30,
  },
  http: {
    port: 8888,
    mediaroot: './server/media',
    allow_origin: '*',
  },
  trans: {
    ffmpeg: '/usr/bin/ffmpeg',
    tasks: [
      {
        app: 'live',
        hls: true,
        hlsFlags: '[hls_time=2:hls_list_size=3:hls_flags=delete_segments]',
        dash: true,
        dashFlags: '[f=dash:window_size=3:extra_window_size=5]',
      },
    ],
  },
},


     



     } ;

  


  3. As I understand it, out of the box NMS (node-media-server) publishes the input stream it gets in multiple output formats : flv, mpeg-dash, hls.
with all sorts of online players for these formats I'm able to access and the stream using the url on localhost. with mpeg-dash and hls I'm getting anything between 10-15 seconds of delay, and more.

  


  



  ---

  



  My goal now is to implement a local client-side mpeg-dash player, using dash.js and configure it to be as close as possible to live.

  



  my code for that is :

  with the online test video (https://dash.akamaized.net/envivio/EnvivioDash3/manifest.mpd) I see that the live latency value is close to 2 secs (but I have no way to actually confirm it. it's a video file streamed. in my office I have a camera so I can actually compare latency between real-life and the stream I get).
however when working locally with my NMS, it seems this value does not want to go below 20-25 seconds.

  



  Am I doing something wrong ? any configuration on the player (client-side html) I'm forgetting ?
or is there a missing configuration I should add on the server side (NMS) ?

  


• Stream video and commands on same connection or split connections ?

  10 mai 2013, par bizzehdee

  Background

  I am in the middle of writing a client/server app that i will install on every machine within my office (roughly 30 - 35 machines). I currently have the client connecting to the server and it has an ability to send mouse movement, mouse clicks, key strokes and execute certain commands. The next step is to stream back a video output of the screen, i am using the GDI method from Fastest method of screen capturing to capture the entire screen and will be using the x264 encoder to compress the frames and transmit them back to the client which will then decode and display the stream.

  Question

  is it best (by means of reducing lag, ensuring all commands are delivered as fast as possible and that streaming is as live as possible) that i transmit back along the same connection that i established for the commands, or, should i establish a separate connection on the same port, or on a different port to stream back the video ?

  P.S.

  i am aware that VNC, RD and other things such as TeamViewer already exist and already do this sort of thing, but none of these support all the requirements needed for what we need within this system.

• Unable to compile i386 compatible ffmpeg dylibs on Mac OS X

  9 mai 2013, par simon.d

  I'm running 64-bit Lion but I need to compile a 32-bit version of ffmpeg because another library I'm using is only available as 32-bit. I've tried a number of different configurations but they're all giving me errors. Here's what I've tried :

  ./configure —disable-static —enable-shared —disable-outdev=sdl —disable-bzlib —disable-libfreetype —disable-libopenjpeg —enable-zlib —enable-runtime-cpudetect —arch=i386 —extra-cflags="-arch i386" —extra-ldflags="-arch i386" —target-os=darwin —enable-cross-compile

  ./configure —disable-static —enable-shared —disable-outdev=sdl —disable-bzlib —disable-libfreetype —disable-libopenjpeg —enable-zlib —enable-runtime-cpudetect —arch=i386 —extra-cflags="-arch i386" —extra-ldflags="-arch i386"

  ./configure —disable-static —enable-shared —disable-outdev=sdl —disable-bzlib —disable-libfreetype —disable-libopenjpeg —enable-zlib —enable-runtime-cpudetect —arch=x86_32

  I either get a "ran out of registers during register allocation" error during make or gcc complains that cross-compile is not active.
