Opening a H.264 stream from a URL #25

Open basvandijk opened 8 years ago

basvandijk commented 8 years ago

At work I'm planning to decode H.264 streams from camera's and I hope I can use your library for that.

The first goal is to open a URL of the H.264 stream. I noticed that the InputSource type only has a File and Camera constructor:

  data InputSource = File FilePath | Camera String CameraConfig

We probably need a separate URL InputSource.

@TomMD, it was mentioned by @acowley to add you to this issue because you recently added the InputSource support. He also mentioned this link to an example of opening a video stream from a URL:

I just put the URL into pretending it's a File in #35 — AFAIK ffmpeg doesn't really tell them apart from the surface.
