RTSP video streaming through multiple flows

[Purpose]

Deliver the content of video streaming through multiple flows.

[Referenced Project]

https://github.com/zogvm/Video-Stream-with-RTSP-and-RTP

[Operating System]

Ubuntu 14 & 16 were tested

[Support]

• Single/multiple flows (decided by the client)
• Video formats : mkv, mp4, webm, ... (depends on OpenCV)
• Video with 720p/25fps (as far as it goes)
• RTSP options : SETUP/PLAY/PAUSE/TEARDOWN
• Multiple clients

[Package Installation]

$ sudo apt-get install python2.7 python-pip python-imaging-tk python-opencv python-imaging $ sudo pip install numpy Pillow $ sudo apt-get install python-dev libjpeg-dev libfreetype6 libfreetype6-dev zlib1g-dev libjpeg8 libjpeg62-dev

[Usage]

• Multiple clients The server serves one client with fixed RTP port(s) in default.

  • If you want to serve multiple clients without fixed RTP port(s), please modify ServerWorker.py first $ vi ServerWorker.py Comment out the for loop in the process of PLAY request
  • If you want to change the number of clients it can serve, please modify Server.py $ vi Server.py Change the number in listen()

• Start server Format : python Server.py [server rtsp port] $ python Server.py 8554

• Start client Format : python ClientLauncher.py [server ip] [server rtsp port] [client rtp port] [video file] [flow number] $ python ClientLauncher.py 172.16.53.2 8554 12345 SampleVideo.mkv 2

[Adjustment (optional)]

• The quality of image $ vi VideoStream.py Change jpeg_quality
• The speed of playing the video $ vi ServerWorker.py Change the time in clientInfo['event'].wait()

[Future Works]

• For client
  • A reordering mechanism for the receiving data
  • A scheduler for playing out the frames instead of the waiting time at server
• For server
  • Better compression method
