H265 Supported ? #3

Closed EmpireofKings closed 3 years ago

EmpireofKings commented 3 years ago

Hello,

Thank you @RSATom you are absolutely amazing, this is a wonderful repository.

I recently tried using restreamer with an H265 camera feed, and was not able to get the feed to play in the browser.

Is this to due with the javascript client ? or do we need to modify the RTSP parser on the server end ?

Thank you

The main purpose of this project to do restreaming without transcoding (i.e. with minimal CPU load). If modern browsers support h265 codec - then I could add support of such feeds. If not - it will require transcoding and will require big amount of CPU power on server to do realtime transcoding. But anyway, I could add support for that if you are sure could provide enough CPU power.

I agree, transcoding the stream back to H264 would be very inefficient, and by no means ideal.

According to this, there are three major browsers that support H265.

  1. Internet Explorer
  2. Microsoft Edge
  3. Safari

I think its never a bad thing to get ahead of the curve, i don't know of many webrtc projects that support H265, but i think this one should.

If you need any assistance, i'd like to throw my hat in the ring and help you get H265 supported.

Ok, I'll look what I can do with it, after finish some optimizations of restreaming logic.

Awesome take your time, there's no rush.

You might find it interesting to see that the Janus project recently did some work with H265 and AV1.
