RTSP to fMP4 over HTTP

This project has been forked from https://github.com/deepch/RTSPtoWSMP4f

This project converts the original code from deepch to provide a webservice for streaming fMP4 over HTTP rather than integrating the streams into a client via websockets.

The API allows a client to

• List available streams
• Connect to a stream
• Disconnect from a stream

When a client requests a stream connection, it passes a callback URL to which the server POSTs fMP4 data. The first connection to a stream launches the RTSP decoder and when no clients are connected the decoder stops. Each client has a MUXer to handle the repackaging of the video stream to fMP4.

Building and running

1. Download source

   git clone https://github.com/stuartcaunt/RTSPtoWSMP4f  

2. CD to Directory

    cd RTSPtoWSMP4f/

3. Run the server

    GO111MODULE=on go run *.go

Configuration

Edit file config.json

format:

{
  "server": {
    "http_port": ":8083"
  },
  "streams": {
   "H264_AAC": {
      "url": "rtsp://wowzaec2demo.streamlock.net/vod/mp4:BigBuckBunny_115k.mov"
    }
  }
}

Testing

CURL requests examples

The following assume the server is running on localhost on port 8083.

1. Getting a list of streams

Endpoint: GET /api/streams

curl -X GET  http://localhost:8083/api/streams

2. Connecting to a stream

Endpoint: POST /api/streams/{streamId}/connect

curl -X POST  http://localhost:8083/api/streams/Stream1/connect -d '{"url": "http://localhost:4000/api/streams"}'

Note: The server will POST video stream data to http://localhost:8000/api/streams/Stream1

3. Disconnecting from a stream

Endpoint: POST /api/streams/{streamId}/disconnect

curl -X POST  http://localhost:8083/api/streams/Stream1/disconnect -d '{"url": "http://localhost:4000/api/streams"}'

Demo client

The project offers a simple node test client to test the reception of POSTed data

1. CD to Directory

    cd demo-client

2. Install dependencies

    npm install

3. Run the client application

    npm start

By default the client runs on port 4000.
