check out my new release node-dronestream which gives you a true realtime experience wit no ffmpeg dependencies (pure JS).
Also see ar-drone-png-stream.
browser live stream from your Parrot AR Drone 2.0.
This is a proof of concept implementation using ffmpeg and ffserver and a mjpeg live stream.
You need a recent version of ffmpeg (together with ffserver) installed.
Known to work is ffmpeg 0.11.1.git-1ad63ff (ffmpeg-devel from macports).
Install via Github to get the latest version:
npm install -g git://github.com/bkw/nodecopter-stream.gitLaunch the server:
nodecopter-stream... and then open index.html in a recent browser (firefox, chrome, opera).
##TODO
-
implement more stream types (HLS!)
-
experiment with different encodings, bitrates and other ffserver settings
-
check whether webm endocing has improved with ffmpeg 1.0
