Can't play x-vlc format...

[stakutis]

Browsers don't seem to like that format now and it seems support has been removed from Chrome/others.

I can use the API to display a single image but I want to display live video/stream. How do I encode the html with that URI?

Sure, you can use different solutions like Flussonic or Kurento.
Or maybe https://github.com/mpromonet/webrtc-streamer or https://github.com/agsh/rtsp-ffmpeg

Oh, ok, i think. My goal is just to display live video in a web page. The sample/examples dont work because of the vlc thing. I dont want to set up a video server to do some xlate/buffering. Ideas? Chris Stakutis 978 764 3488 http://www.concordsoftwareandexecutiveconsulting.com/

@stakutis Not sure if you've solved your situation yet. I have just added a getSnapshot() function into the media.js file which may help you. You can find the PR here: #81

请问要怎么使用它呢？api里面写的是getSnapshotUri不是getSnapshot,参数具体定义是啥？

I can confirm that using rtsp-ffmpeg works fine for playback in the browser.

Installation

Unlike webrtc-streamer, the only external/manual dependency it needs within your electron app or nodejs server, is the ffmpeg binaries -- though you could probably automate this as well by bundling it with your app's install.

Usage

My program is in electron, so my UI code is able to read the frame data returned by rtsp-ffmpeg directly, and then draw it to a canvas.

If you're instead using a regular webpage (ie. in Chrome) with a NodeJS backend, the approach used in the sample should work: https://github.com/agsh/rtsp-ffmpeg#sample
