Installing VLC Player


sudo apt-get install vlc

 

Streaming The Camera Video Using RTSP

Enter the following command to start the streaming:


raspivid -o - -t 0 -n | cvlc -vvv stream:///dev/stdin --sout '#rtp{sdp=rtsp://:8554/}' :demux=h264

raspivid is used to capture the video

"-o -" causes the output to be written to stdout

"-t 0" sets the timeout to disabled

"-n" stops the video being previewed (remove if you want to see the video on the HDMI output)

cvlc is the console vlc player

"-vvv" and its argument specifies where to get the stream from

"-sout" and its argument specifies where to output it to 

Options

Specifying the camera resolution


raspivid -o - -t 0 -n -w 600 -h 400 -fps 12 | cvlc -vvv stream:///dev/stdin --sout '#rtp{sdp=rtsp://:8554/}' :demux=h264

-w

Width available range: 64 to 1920 

-h

Height available range: 64 to 1080 

-fps

Frames per second: 2 to 30 (may change in the future)

Viewing The RTSP Stream Over The Network

You need a player which supports RTSP, for instance VLC, Quicktime, etc.  Open a network stream using


rtsp://###.###.###.###:8554/

where ###.###.###.### is the IP address of the RPi.

    It’s important to set the fps and resolution on the raspivid command, otherwise it does this 3k grainy image that takes forever for VLC to buffer on the pi.

    on a pi 3 b+, I found these would prevent serious buffering issues

    Also, I wanted a username and password on the stream.

    Two alternate commands, one for 60fps at 1280×1024:
    raspivid -o - -t 0 -n -w 1280 -h 1024 -fps 60 | cvlc -vvv stream:///dev/stdin --sout '#rtp{sdp=rtsp://:8554/}' :demux=h264 --h264-fps=60 --sout-rtsp-user username --sout-rtsp-pwd password

    one for 1440×1080 at 24 fps which kinda looks the best, at least for a cat camera
    raspivid -o - -t 0 -n -w 1440 -h 1080 -fps 24 | cvlc -vvv stream:///dev/stdin --sout '#rtp{sdp=rtsp://:8554/}' :demux=h264 --h264-fps=24 --sout-rtsp-user username --sout-rtsp-pwd password

      * remove ‘-vvv’ when you’re finished set up – it just logs extra info

      Is It possible to make it with a web cam or an USB video capturer instead of pi camera??

    delay is quite huge.
    Does anyone have any ideas to solve this problem?

    is there anyway to use this command to save the video file at the same time as streaming it and keep it to a minute long video?

    Hi,

    Thanks for the post. In my desktop VLC I can watch the stream easily, but watching in on an android device does not work :-( Any ideas? From the developer’s debug log, the 1st error I see is the following:

    E/VLC/VideoPlayerActivity(27605): Invalid surface size

    Any help will be appreciated. Thanks,

    How many simultaneous streams would be possible from the viewer side? Would it be dependent upon the pi processor or the network bandwidth?

    is it possible to zoom during the streaming?

    I have been trying to run this command in a Java file using Runtime.exec has anyone else tried this? I have been unsuccessful so far. I have had to call a script file using runtime.exec on java, the script file runs the raspivid stream command.

    hi
    i used your approch to stream video and thanks about your guidance.i have question where this streamed video go i mean what register and what is the number of the bit that raspberry pi can stream video.

    working for me, thank you for adding this information.
    The latency is about 5-7 sec, how can we reduced? for real time video streaming.

    As far as I can tell, these instructions are obsolete. I’m having much more success with the (new?) v4l2 kernel driver for the camera. Run `sudo modprobe bcm2835-v4l2`, then any vlc command such as `cvlc v4l2:///dev/video0 –v4l2-width 1920 –v4l2-height 1080 –v4l2-chroma h264 –sout ‘#rtp{sdp=rtsp://:8554/}’`.

    Is any of this a seriously laughable or is it just me? Piping to another streamer just because of the crazy design on how raspivid pulls the data via i2c??

    Please where is a workable solution using mjpgstreamer?

    You neglected to say that using RTSP in VLC makes it virtually impossible to access the video from the Internet because VLC opens two ports for each connection request, and chooses them randomly. So forget about mapping them through your router.

    Because of that, my real interest has become using http instead of rtsp, with a single port, but none of the http commands for cvlc work for me. VLC Media Player connects but the video is just gray with a few blobs. Everything is the latest version. Has anyone had the same problem ?

      Lots of cameras use RTSP behind NAT boxes.

    i tried to set up my pi as a streaming device but i’m getting the following error:
    ES_OUT_SET_(GROUP_)PCR is called to late(pts delay increased to 476ms
    ES_OUT_RESET_PCR called

    does anyone know how to fix this?

      Yes after :demux=h264 you have to write –h264-fps=15

      :demux=h264 –h264-fps=15

    Was able to capture some frames, though there were long spells of buffering at times, counting all the way up to 100%, with output such as;

    [0x619be0] main input debug: Buffering 91%

    [0x92add8] main input debug: Stream buffering done (3240 ms in 40357 ms)
    [0x92add8] main input debug: Decoder buffering done in 0 ms
    [0x92add8] main input error: ES_OUT_SET_(GROUP_)PCR is called too late (jitter of 36359 ms ignored)

    and,

    [0x92add8] main input error: ES_OUT_RESET_PCR called
    [0x92add8] main input debug: Buffering 0%
    [0x92add8] main input debug: Buffering 1%

    And this may have something to do with it;

    [0x1bcd350] main input error: Invalid PCR value in ES_OUT_SET_(GROUP_)PCR !

    UPDATE:

    I’ve been tweaking the resolution and framerate, and it now works fairly well with my OpenCV app that pulls and evaluates frames. I’ve settled in around 640×480 at 15fps and it’s been stable for about 12 hours now, will continue to monitor and report back. Even though I’ve set it to 15pfs, the stream information reports a frame rate of 9000 fps, so I’ve adjusted my app to recognize this condition and readjust.

    I’m getting a very short delay (less than 1 sec), though oddly enough when I also monitor this stream with VLC, the VLC delays slowly grow (more than 10 secs after a while).

    Thanks, the method works fine although I am getting about a 40 second delay. Is this normal ?
