Http Media Streaming Server

问题

I have developed video streaming application with RED5 media server(RTMP). Instead of RTMP need to stream live video through HTTP.

Any open source HTTP media server??

Is any open source server which supports both RTMP and HTTP ?

Thanks in advance.

回答1:

Primarily, HTTP and RTMP are different protocols. You won't serve RTMP inside the HTTP. (Although you can do this for a tunneling solution).

Exist several ways to do HTTP Streaming. Such as HLS, DASH, Smooth and Progresive Download. If you need serve streaming to iOS (iPad, iPhone, Apple TV) you will need to use HLS.

As well as arcyqwerty said. Any HTTP server is able to serve HTTP Streaming. But you will need to prepare your media files and the manifest files before serving.

Here are some links very important for read about HLS (HTTP Live Streaming):

https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/networkinginternet/conceptual/streamingmediaguide/Introduction/Introduction.html
https://developer.apple.com/streaming/
http://features.encoding.com/http-live-streaming-hls/
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-pantos-http-live-streaming-12

What about open source servers. I know these:

Flumotion: http://www.flumotion.net/
Gstreamer Server Streaming: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-streaming-server/
Nginx HLS Module: http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_hls_module.html (Only Nginx Plus)

Or you can do like me and use GStreamer for segmenting and make manifest. And finaly I use the Nginx only to serve them.

I hope I helped you a little bit.

回答2:

Any HTTP server that can serve files (apache, nginx, IIS, etc) can "stream" media over HTTP. So if you want, you can keep RED5 for RTMP and set up an HTTP server to serve the same files.

You may want to look into Media streaming basics - HTTP vs RTMP for info about the protocols

Adding the nginx-rtmp module to nginx might be what you're looking for if you need a single-product solution

I use this and it works properly. (Ubuntu 12.04 TLS server)

Step by step:

sudo apt-get install build-essential libpcre3 libpcre3-dev libssl-dev
wget http://nginx.org/download/nginx-1.6.0.tar.gz
wget https://github.com/arut/nginx-rtmp-module/archive/master.zip
tar -zxvf nginx-1.6.0.tar.gz
unzip master.zip
cd nginx-1.6.0

./configure --with-http_ssl_module --add-module=../nginx-rtmp-module-master --with-http_flv_module --with-http_mp4_module
make
sudo make install

sudo /usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx -s stop
sudo /usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx

NGINX Config: (/usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf)

    #location ~ \.php$ {

    # concurs with nginx's one
    #
    #location ~ /\.ht {
    #    deny  all;
    #}
    }
}

Save the config file and:

sudo /usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx -s stop
sudo /usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx

Next... Create two directories:

mkdir /var/flvs
mkdir /var/mp4s

You need copy an mp4 file to the mp4s directory. For example: sample.mp4

Finaly

sudo /usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx -s stop
sudo /usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx

Try:

rtmp://your_server_ip/vod2/sample.mp4

(suggest: you use the VLC media player)

or html code

<html>
<head>
    <title>RTMP Video</title>
    <!-- flowplayer javascript component -->
    <script src="http://releases.flowplayer.org/js/flowplayer-3.2.12.min.js"></script>
</head>

<body>
<div id="player" style="width:644px;height:480;margin:0 auto;text-align:center">
    <img src="images/background.jpg" height="480" width="644" /></div>
<script>

$f("player", "http://releases.flowplayer.org/swf/flowplayer-3.2.16.swf", {
    clip: {
        url: 'sample.mp4',
        scaling: 'fit',
        provider: 'hddn'
    },

    plugins: {
        hddn: {
            url: "swf/flowplayer.rtmp-3.2.13.swf",

            // netConnectionUrl defines where the streams are found
            netConnectionUrl: 'rtmp://your_server_ip:1935/vod2/'

        }
    },
    canvas: {
        backgroundGradient: 'none'
    }
});
</script>
</body>
