Hello, this probably has been asked a million times before. I have a few IP cameras (onvif) that I can get stills and video out of with scriprts. What I would want to do is put a stream into a web page, html document. I'd prefer to used "something different" than rtsp, to be used by the browser because rtsp seems to be blocked more and more (people watching baby monitors crashing networks). Is there a guide/example that will show me how to set up gstreamer (gstreamer rtsp server) to do that and show it in flash player for example? (or anything else I can embed in a web page?) thanks, Ron _______________________________________________ gstreamer-devel mailing list [hidden email] https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/gstreamer-devel |
Hi Ron
Take a look at WebRTC, it has the features you want: NAT traversal (to avoid the “blocked” problem) and it works on most browsers out of the box. https://opensource.com/article/19/1/gstreamer Michael www.ridgerun.com > On May 1, 2019, at 10:43 AM, R C <[hidden email]> wrote: > > Hello, > > this probably has been asked a million times before. > > I have a few IP cameras (onvif) that I can get stills and video out of with scriprts. > > What I would want to do is put a stream into a web page, html document.

Hello Michael, thanks for the quick reply. I did read some about WebRTC, from what I understand that also streams over the port httpd is running on? The 'blocked' problem is not necessarilly a NAT issue, but some sites actively blocking 554, and the RTSP protocol. traffic on 80/443 is typically not, so that would be best. Is there a (working) example somewhere on how to set gstreamer/gstreamer-rtsp-sever up so that it converts a stream from an IP-camera (onvif) to a WebRTC stream that can be embedded? (also, there would be multiple cameras/streams, but only one of them has to be 'active' at a time.) thanks, Ron On Wed, May 1, 2019 at 10:47 AM Michael Gruner <[hidden email]> wrote: Hi Ron _______________________________________________ gstreamer-devel mailing list [hidden email] https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/gstreamer-devel |
No, WebRTC doesn’t stream over http/https ports. WebRTC uses a protocol named ICE to automatically find open ports on both endpoints. It’s supposed to be “guaranteed” that a connection will always be made, unless you explicitly want to block WebRTC. Worst case scenario, the stream gets relayed through a third party server (unlike peer-to-peer that you’d expect). All this happens under the hoods. Take a look at:
As per the example, I think Kurento had this functionality, and it’s an open source implementation. Michael

I'll try that. btw: I am running Centos (6 and 7 on different machines). can gstreamer-1.0 be installed next to gstreamer? I once tried to uninstall gstreamer (VLC gave warning that gstreamer needed to be replaced)... that didn't end well I'll that that cmd line with those options later thanks!

Hi Ralf,
it seems that is working, (see attached/copied below)
I tried a few HTML5 <video> tags, but I didn't get that part right. You have an example of that too? Also, I noticed there are two streams created
by gst-launch-1.0?

Hi Ron,
if the pipeline works, you got the GStreamer part right. Of course there are two streams, video and audio. Each is sent to a different UDP port. Now you need to run the receiving part, i.e. Janus. The streaming demo listens to the ports your pipeline sends to. This is obviously off-topic here, use the Janus site, or contact me if that doesn't work. You can use webrtcbin instead, as Nirbheek suggested, but I found it harder to set up (you need to run the websocket part on your own), and it will be a 1-to-1 connection, so you can't use it for broadcast.

I don't think you need to transcode, H.264 should also be supported by

Hmm, I didn't count on that. What I tried earlier was have vlc run, and have it serve on localhost on a port, vlc picked that up and browser did too, but poorly at that point. like the other e-mail suggested, H.264 directly into a browser "a la" the embedded video would just be pointed t by a URI something like: <video>url="localhost.localdomain:100001" content-type="mime-mpg4"</video> don't remember the exact html text, but it was something like that. I want to display the video over HTTP, so webctl is not going to work for me.

Hello Marc, that's what IU was kinda banking on; use gstreamer to pull/convert a stream from a camera, so that I could directly embed it in a html/web page and the video/stream would be transported over http. I am not that worried about the sound, mostly the video stream. So the stream that Ralf gave me seems to work/run, which is great (I just wish I understood the format and options in the cmd line better). thanks, Ron On Tue, May 7, 2019 at 4:13 AM Marc Leeman <[hidden email]> wrote: I don't think you need to transcode, H.264 should also be supported by _______________________________________________ gstreamer-devel mailing list [hidden email] https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/gstreamer-devel |

Hello,
The cameras I have are Onvif 'capable' camera's and I have been poking around in one. There are 3 profiles, but they are basically the same (different resolutions etc). So from what I understand is that H.264 is
supported by most browsers, so I assume that a stream/pipe
should be able to be displayed in a web browser (firefox
does), and there is no need to 'transcode' the stream(?). I have no idea how to set up a stream/pipe,
is there a write up? guide or so, so I can figure it out?
(there seem to be a gazillion options/filters and have no
idea how to use them, nor what they do. Below I pasted the 'VideoSourceConfiguration' for the first profile, and the URi/URL that it is on. If anyone has any pointers how to create a gstreamer/gst-launch stream/pipe, I'd appreciate that.
TIA,
Ron

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. So I would like to accomplish the same as I have working with ffmpeg:
Here is what I am using. this is the html: <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <header> <title>Live Cam</title> <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/hls.js@latest"></script> <script> function hlsStart() { if (Hls.isSupported()) { var video = document.getElementById('video'); var hls = new Hls(); // bind them together hls.attachMedia(video); hls.on(Hls.Events.MEDIA_ATTACHED, function () { console.log("video and hls.js are now bound together !"); hls.loadSource("http://zoneminder.localdomain/IP-Cameras/stream/test-camera/mystream.m3u8"); hls.on(Hls.Events.MANIFEST_PARSED, function (event, data) { console.log("manifest loaded, found " + data.levels.length + " quality level"); }); }); } } </script> </header> <body onload="hlsStart();"> <video id="video" autoplay="true" controls="controls"></video> </body> </html>
and this is what I am doing with ffmpeg: ffmpeg -i
<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="rtsp://192.168.x.y:554/user=admin_password=XXXXXXXX_channel=1_stream=0.sdp?real_stream">"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
any suggestions? (I probably need an Apache plugin, or something like that?)
thanks,
Ron

Ah, but you're not using WebRTC now, you are using HLS.
HLS will create a bunch of small files in a TS container for the browser to pick up from a web location. If you want to recreate this with GStreamer, you can use the hlssink. Just feed it a stream in a transport stream container and it will do something similar. If you drop the files in a location served by your webserver, you can access it with a browser.

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). I don't mind a delay of a few seconds, buffering etc, but a minute or two is not what I am looking for. I did this ffmpeg html5/hls trial to see if I could get at least something working in a browser. I have been reading up a little, not pretending I understand everything. 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?). 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). thanks, Ron On Mon, May 13, 2019 at 12:50 AM Marc Leeman <[hidden email]> wrote: Ah, but you're not using WebRTC now, you are using HLS. _______________________________________________ gstreamer-devel mailing list [hidden email] https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/gstreamer-devel |
