h264_v4l2_rtspserver

This is an RTSP server feed from an Video4Linux device that support H264 capture.

The RTSP server support :

RTP/UDP unicast
RTP/UDP multicast
RTP/TCP
RTP/RTSP/HTTP

Download

Latest build

Build

cmake . && make

If it fails you will need to install libv4l-dev liblivemedia-dev liblog4cpp5-dev.
If it still not work you will need to read Makefile.

Install

make install

Build Package

cpack .
dpkg -i h264_v4l2_rtspserver*.deb

Using Raspberry Pi Camera

This RTSP server works using Raspberry Pi camera with :

the unofficial V4L2 driver for the Raspberry Pi Camera Module http://www.linux-projects.org/modules/sections/index.php?op=viewarticle&artid=14

sudo uv4l --driver raspicam --auto-video_nr --encoding h264
the official V4L2 driver bcm2835-v4l2

sudo modprobe -v bcm2835-v4l2

Using with v4l2loopback

For camera providing uncompress format v4l2tools can compress the video to an intermediate virtual V4L2 device v4l2loopback:

/dev/video0 (camera device)-> v4l2compress_h264 -> /dev/video10 (v4l2loopback device) -> h264_v4l2_rtspserver

This workflow could be set using :

modprobe v4l2loopback video_nr=10
v4l2compress_h264 /dev/video0 /dev/video10 &
h264_v4l2_rtspserver /dev/video10 &

Usage

./h264_v4l2_rtspserver [-v[v]] [-Q queueSize] [-O file] \
		       [-I interface] [-P RTSP port] [-T RTSP/HTTP port] [-m multicast url] [-u unicast url] [-M multicast addr] [-c] [-t timeout] \
		       [-r] [-s] [-W width] [-H height] [-F fps] [device1] [device2]
	 -v       : verbose
	 -vv      : very verbose
	 -Q length: Number of frame queue  (default 10)
	 -O output: Copy captured frame to a file or a V4L2 device
	 RTSP options :
	 -I addr  : RTSP interface (default autodetect)
	 -P port  : RTSP port (default 8554)
	 -T port  : RTSP over HTTP port (default 0)
	 -u url   : unicast url (default unicast)
	 -m url   : multicast url (default multicast)
	 -M addr  : multicast group:port (default is random_address:20000)
	 -c       : don't repeat config (default repeat config before IDR frame)
	 -t secs  : RTCP expiration timeout (default 65)
	 V4L2 options :
	 -r       : V4L2 capture using read interface (default use memory mapped buffers)
	 -s       : V4L2 capture using live555 mainloop (default use a separated reading thread)
	 -f       : V4L2 capture using current format (-W,-H,-F are ignored)
	 -W width : V4L2 capture width (default 640)
	 -H height: V4L2 capture height (default 480)
	 -F fps   : V4L2 capture framerate (default 25)
	 device   : V4L2 capture device (default /dev/video0)
