I want to be able to restream the video feed of the AR Drone 2 from a Debian Server to Flash.
I am aware that the AR Drone uses the codec p264. I'm totally green when it comes to video codecs, so I don't know what will be suitable for the goal I want to achieve?
I have been able to stream the video feed from the AR Drone but with very high latency and extremely low quality, compared to when I directly connect to the AR Drone using ffplay.
I currently use the .swf example in the standard ffserver.conf:
<Stream test.swf>
Feed feed1.ffm
Format swf
VideoFrameRate 30
VideoIntraOnly
NoAudio
</Stream>
And the settings for the .ffm Feed are as follows:
<Feed feed1.ffm>
File /tmp/feed1.ffm
FileMaxSize 17K
ACL allow 127.0.0.1
NoAudio
</Feed>
The command I use for giving input to the ffserver feed:
ffmpeg -i http://192.168.1.1:5555 http://localhost:8090/feed1.ffm
How am I able to achieve lower latency and higher quality, since the stream is currently unwatchable?
Unfortunately ffserver just simply will not get the job you want done. You have hit the same wall as everyone else on the internet. The best I can get is about 3 second delay which gradually increases to about 5-10 seconds as the stream runs for a few hours.
the stream isn't decoding with ffmpeg for me also. I do not know why. it works with ffplay which just confuses me more!
I am looking into Py-Media to see if i can just write my own code for a similar project. I want to stream ardrone video and minipulate the images in the stream.
p.s. look into gstreamer, I saw others discussing it yields different results.
