Overview: Plugin that adds a tab to OctoPrint for viewing, starting, and stopping a re-encoded stream to any RTMP server.
Details: Based on the work found here.
Notes:
- Plugin requires that OctoPrint's webcam stream uses a full url path including the ip address, ie
http://192.168.1.2/webcam/?action=stream - Only tested streaming to Twitch from a Pi3.
- Plugin does not provide a streaming application, it just re-encodes the mjpg stream (included with ocotpi) to a flv stream and transmits to configured RTMP server url.
- Although resolution is configurable in the plugin, the mjpg input stream being re-encoded may have a lower resolution and therefore not really be as high as you set it in the plugin settings.
Follow the instructions found here to install and configure docker/ffmpeg for use with this plugin for Live streaming. This is not necessary if you just want to view a url in an iframe on a tab.
Once the prerequisites are met and the test command is successfull enter the resolution, stream url, and view url in the RTMP Streamer settings.
Don't forget to change your webcam stream url to a fully qualified url using the ip address of your pi like
http://192.168.1.101/webcam/?action=stream instead of /webcam/?action=stream
- Additional testing.
- Proper error messaging for debugging (e.g. no fully qualified url provided)
I programmed this plugin for fun and do my best effort to support those that have issues with it, please return the favor and support me.
