Installation

To install this library, simply run:

npm install iin-rtsp-stream

To use this library, create a new instance of the Stream class and pass in the RTSP stream URL and WebSocket server options:

import * as Stream from 'iin-rtsp-stream';


let stream = await new Stream({
    name: "Stream #1",
    streamUrl: "rtsp://URL...",
    wsPort: 8000,
    ffmpegOptions: {
        '-r': 30,
        '-bufsize': '12000k',
        '-preset': 'slower',
        '-threads': 2,
        '-maxrate': '1500k',
        '-bf': 4,
        '-tune': 'grain',
        '-g': 90,
        '-vf': 'eq=contrast=1.1',
    },
});

stream.on('exitWithError', () => {
    stream.stop();
});

stream.on('stopped', () => {
    this.portManager.releasePort(stream.options.wsPort);
    stream.stop();
});

setTimeout(async () => {
    await new Promise(() => {
        console.log('Stopping Recording');
        stream.stop();
        Promise.resolve();
    });
}, 10 * 60 * 1000);
