Stream processing even if no client is connected #744

Closed cecchisandrone closed 4 months ago

cecchisandrone commented 4 months ago

Subject of the issue Maybe I'm missing something but while using iftop I discovered that even if no client is connected to the playersite there is a constant 2MB/s bandwidth RX utilisation in the server. It is traffic sent from ip cameras to the server. In theory this should only happen if a client is connected and watching the stream, am I wrong?

Your environment Raspberry PI 5 with dockerized datarhei-core v16.14.0 (linux/arm64)

This is true. Restreamer keeps pulling the stream from the camera even if there's nobody watching.

Is there a way to make this "on demand" to save processing/network resources?

ioppermann commented 4 months ago

Currently not. However, it is already on our feature requests list.
