raspi-hls

Stream raspberry pi camera via Http Live Stream HLS

usage

Use ffmpeg. Avconv produces a lot of errors multiplexing the output of raspivid

connect and configure Raspberry Pi camera board. https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/usage/camera/README.md
check that raspivid can record video from the camera.
install ffmpeg (not in raspbian repositories), binaries available from https://ffmpeg.org/. Choose download / linux /
Linux Static Builds. Download the armhf build for newer raspberry pi’s. Unarchive and move the created directory somewhere: like to /usr/local. So you will have e.g.: /usr/local/ffmpeg-3.3.2-armhf-32bit-static/.
create symlinks for /usr/local/ffmpeg-/bin/ffmpeg, ffmpeg-10bit and ffserver into /usr/local/bin.
put streamCamHls in /usr/local/bin.
check paths and settings in top of file.
run command streamCamHls
files like movie*.ts, movie.m3u8 shoud be written to OUTDIR
now install a webserver, like nginx.
put file in /etc/nginx/conf.d/enable-symlinks.conf: contents:
```
disable_symlinks off;
```
create a symlink from OUTDIR to nginx http dir (usually /var/www/html.)
fire up a video player, like vlc on a computer that can reach the raspi, enter the url:
http:///hls/movie.m3u8. (hls should be name of symlink to OUTDIR in nginx http dir, movie.m3u8 should be name of OUTFILE (as defined in streamCamHls).

Please use a ramdisk for OUTDIR, like /dev/shm, standard on Raspbian. Writing to your flash card will
wear it out quickly.
