Home Assistant Integration #50

Is it possible to use this application to stream .mp4 files to Home Assistant?

I am currently using AlexIT/WebRTC to stream from a camera (rtsp feed) and it is fast and smooth.

To stream an mp4 I am using <video src="https://...file.mp4">. It works but is very slow and choppy.

I am looking for an mp4 alternative which is smooth and fast. I currently use javascript to build custom html to stream to the video element, so I am hopeful that I can just replace the https://file.mp4 with a connection to an RTSPtoWSMP4f server.

But I don't want to try if it is not possible. If is is doable, any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Can anyone please advise? Thanks!

use mp4f and http server and write function

Is this what you mean by "use http server": (config.json)


  "server": {
    "http_port": ":8083"
  },
  "streams": {
    "H264_AAC": {
      "on_demand": false,
      "url": "https://mydomain.com/local/SampleVideo_1280x720_5mb.mp4"
    }
  }
}

When I run: GO111MODULE=on go run *.go I get the following:

[GIN-debug] Listening and serving HTTP on :8083
2022/09/04 18:23:47 dial tcp 174.10.17.169:554: i/o timeout
2022/09/04 18:23:48 H264_AAC Stream Try Connect
...Repeats indefinitely

NOTE: I have only HTTPS access to the server. Do I need something additional for HTTPS?

ALSO, I don't understand what you mean by: use "write function". Please elaborate a bit...

Thanks for your help!

P.S. If https is not supported, I am wondering if "file:" protocol is/could be supported? E.g.,

"url": "file:///home/homeassistant/SampleVideo_1280x720_5mb.mp4"
