OpenCV FFMpeg RTMP Stream
Example of live video streaming over RTMP protocol using OpenCV and FFMpeg.
For streaming without using OpenCV check ffmpeg-webcam-rtmp-stream repository.
Installation Guide
Install FFMpeg
On MacOS.
brew install ffmpegOn Ubuntu Linux.
sudo apt-get install ffmpeg libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libavutil-dev libswscale-dev libavresample-dev libavdevice-dev -yInstall OpenCV
For installing OpenCV there's a script inside scripts/ folder:
./scripts/install-opencv.shRun RTMP Server Docker image
docker run -it -p 1935:1935 -p 8080:8080 --name rtmp-server jkuri/urtmpThen open your browser at http://localhost:8080 where you can watch your published streams.
Compile & run
To compile source code just run:
mkdir -p build && cd build
cmake .. && makeRun the program to start streaming:
./build/rtmp-streamTo set up different options for stream, here is ./rtmp-stream -h output
