• Live Video Encoding and Streaming on a Webpage

  15 juin 2018, par Ockhius

  I am trying to show live webcam video stream on webpage and I have a working draft. However, I am not satisfied with the performance and looking for a better way to do the job.

  I have a webcam connected to Raspberry PI and a web server which is a simple python-Flask server. Webcam images are captured by using OpenCV and formatted as JPEG. Later, those JPEGs are sent to one of the server’s UDP ports. What I did up to this point is something like a homemade MJPEG(motion-jpeg) streaming.

  At the server-side I have a simple python script that continuously reads UDP port and put JPEG image in the HTML5 canvas. That is fast enough to create a perception of a live stream.

  Problems :

  • This compress the video very little. Actually it does not compress the video. It only decreases the size of a frame by formatting as JPEG.

  • FPS is low and also quality of the stream is not that good.

  • It is not a major point for now but UDP is not a secure way to stream video.

  • Server is busy with image picking from UDP. Needs threaded server design.

  Alternatives :

  • I have used FFMPEG before to convert video formats and also stream pre-recorded video. I guess, it is possible to encode(let say H.264) and stream WebCam live video using ffmpeg or avconv. (Encoding)

  Is this applicable on Raspberry PI ?

  • VLC is able to play live videos streamed on network. (Stream)

  Is there any Media Player to embed on HTML/Javascript to handle
  network stream like the VLC does ?

  • I have read about HLS (HTTP Live Stream) and MPEG-DASH.

  Does these apply for this case ? If it does,how should I use them ?

  Is there any other way to show live stream on webpage ?

  • RTSP is a secure protocol.

  What is the best practice for transport layer protocol in video
  streaming ?

• FFMPEG and FFPlay can access rtsp stream from one ip, but from other ip, it can't

  The situation is kind of complex. I was archiving several CCTV camera feeds (rtsp, h264, no audio) through OpenCV, which worked but the CPU utilization was too high and started to lose some frames time by time.

  


  To reduce the CPU utilization, I started to use FFMPEG to skip the decoding and encoding processes, which worked perfectly on my home machine. However, when I connected to my university VPN and tried to deploy it on our lab server, FFmpeg couldn't read any frame, ffplay couldn't get anything either. However, OpenCV, VLC Player and IINA Player could still read and display the feed.

  


  In Summary,

  


  1 FFMPEG/ffplay

  


  1.1 can only read the feed from my home network(Wi-Fi, optimum)

  


  1.2 from other two networks, the error message says : "Could not find codec parameters for stream 0 (Video : h264, none) : unspecified size
Consider increasing the value for the 'analyzeduration' (0) and 'probesize' (5000000) options"

  


  2 IINA/VLC Player, OpenCV
These tools can get the video all the time.

  


  I'm wondering whether it's related to some specific port access, that the ffmpeg required but the others don't. I'd appreciate it if anyone can provide any suggestions.

  


  As references, the tested ffplay command is simple :

  


  ffplay 'the rtsp address'


  


  Thanks

  Update

  


  More tests have been performed.

  


  By specifying rtsp_transport as TCP, ffplay can play the video, but FFmpeg can't access the video. (In the beginning, when both FFmpeg and ffplay worked through my home network, it was UDP)
The FFmpeg command is as follows :

  


  ffmpeg -i rtsp://the_ip_address/axis-media/media.amp -hide_banner -c:v copy -s 1920x1080 -segment_time 00:30:00 -f segment -strftime 1 -reset_timestamps 1 -rtsp_transport tcp "%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M-%S_Test.mp4"
