Live streaming with red5 and ffmpeg On Linux
Live Stream
Prerequisite
Hardware
- High Power server/system.
- Osprey card or TVCAP (easycap)
- Good camera
- High bandwidth.
Software
- Osprey card driver (need to compile)
- red5 media server with midiDemo plugin
- java jdk 6
- ffmpeg
Overview
In our scenario we take an input from camera and passes it osprey card and osprey card passes this output to ffmpeg and ffmpeg encode the video and passes it to red5 server midi Demo plug in once plugin receive this it will pass to web server where we had coded a html page with fl player which will receive input from red 5 server and play here.
Configuration and setting up server
Installation Of OS
We had tested this scenario on Debian wheezy latest stable of debian version 7.3.0
we need to install a debian wheezy on server then we have to add couple of repos and packages
on it.
1. we need to add the following repos on /etc/sources.list
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ wheezy-updates main contrib
deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ wheezy-updates main contrib
deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib
2. apt-get update && apt-get upgrade.
3. need to install the following packages
apt-get install libproc-processtable-perl
apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` linux-source
apt-get install tvtime quilt
NOTE :- we have to select PAL and radio frequency as other while installing tvtime package.
Compiling the driver for OSPREY card 260e
Once we have install all packages we need to compile the driver for osprey card you will find the detail tut here
here i will post some steps of it for compiling:-
1. mkdir /data/osprey && cd /data/osprey
3. tar -zxvf 460e-dev-20120531-112107.tgz
4. cd 260e/media_build
5.make clean
6.make distclean
7.make cx23885config
8.make -j3
9. make install
10.Remove the cx23885 driver from auto-loading during system startup sudo vi /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf, add to the end of the file the line "blacklist cx23885"
This will compile and install the driver now we have to shutdown the system and install the hardware on AGP slot. once this done, power on server and navigate to directory where we compile the driver
11 cd /data/260e
here you find the 2 scripts load.sh and unload.sh for loading driver use load.sh
12 sh load.sh
13 ehco $?
once your command successfully executed you are able to view the device on /dev
14 ll /dev/video0
installing red5 and ffmpeg on debian.
installing red5 server and ffmpeg is really easy we just have to download and extract it run it and ffmpeg is available at aptitude. before installing red 5 you have to ensure that you are running java jdk 6
Ensure that you are running java version 6 by
kaustubh@kaustubh-pc:~$ java -version
Output is like
java version "1.6.0_27"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.12.6) (6b27-1.12.6-1~deb7u1)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.0-b12, mixed mode)
kaustubh@kaustubh-pc:~$
Once you are sure that you have java 6 follow the steps for installing red5
- mkdir /data/red5 (make directory for red5)
- tar-zxvf red5-0.9.RC2.tar.gz
- cd red5
- sh red5.sh (this will start red5 server on server at localhost:5080)
once you done this all without error you will found that installer service has been create
and you can navigate to localhost:5080 via any browser that you like :)
Now we will install ffmpeg then we will move to next session for configuration.
For installing ffmpeg just run following commands
# sudo aptitude install ffmpeg
It will install all the modules required by ffmpeg.
Configuration of streaming.
Preparing our red5 for Line streaming .
Ensuring that red5 server working properly
Once you started red 5 server it will look like
The we have to navigate to localhost:5080 and navigate to install link which will look like this
here we have to install some plugins
- midiDemo
- oflaDemo
- SOSample
- echo
Once install we will check whether our red5 streaming server works properly or any isssue is their by SOSample plugin
After installing login to localhost:5080 and click on demo this time once you landed on demo.
Click on shared ball object and open one more side by side and click on connect which looks like.
Now drag any one of them Both will be moved if it moves then its all fine ;).
Now again navigate to localhost:5080 and open Publisher plugin which looks like this
Here we have to configure Most important part of streaming server parameters like stream and all.
stream : the name of stream which you want
server :- leave it default
location :- rtmp://localhost/midiDemo (Here we have to change don't give any custom name should be same)
Now click on connect it will show connection success like this
15:16:49:649 - Using Google Pepper Flash Player 11,8,800,170
15:16:58:317 - Connecting to rtmp://localhost/midiDemo
15:16:58:359 - NetConnection.Connect.Success
Now our red5 server is ready for receiving the rtmp input and able to broadcast to flash :)
We have to capture camera and encode the video and we have to send this to our html page which we design later.
Now we have to start encoding and passing it to red 5 using ffmpeg by a simple command
#ffmpeg -f video4linux2 -i /dev/video0 -s 320x480 -f flv -f flv rtmp://your-local-ip/midiDemo/test
This will look like this
Now we have done everything now we just have to make web page and start our web server
Here i have created a sample setup just download the file and copy all files to your document root
Download link :- https://www.dropbox.com/s/wms0ueqvqm4j7m6/flash%20data.zip
and
Then open the index.html and change the net connection url ip to your ip and here we go
Start your web server and you will find the player streaming live
Which looks like This. Happy streaming
thanks for this tutorial, however:
ReplyDelete1) the pictures are all missing, I see blank white squares
2) there's nothing about securing the red5 input source from hijackers, which means anyone who knows the rtmp url can upstream their own video and broadcast it on your site.
or did I miss something?
