kclyu / rpi-webrtc-streamer

This repo's objective is providing something like Web Cam server on the most popular Raspberry PI hardware. By integrating [WebRTC](https://webrtc.org/native-code/) and Raspberry PI, we can stream the Raspberry camera feed to browser or native client which talks WebRTC.

Where is the configuration files if installed with deb? #29

Closed rexlow closed 6 years ago

rexlow commented 6 years ago

I got everything working by installing with deb file. But there are a few tweaks I need to make so that the video quality could be better. Went through /etc but I could not find anything related there.

kclyu commented 6 years ago

The rws config files are located in /opt/rws/ etc. The current config settings related to video quality are not available except for the realtime related settings. I'm curious to know what kind of setup you are trying to do.

rexlow commented 6 years ago

Cool! Was able to locate the files with this command.

dpkg --search rws | grep conf

I am planning to run a face recognition model on top of the real-time video feed actually. Will need to access a fair quality of frames before downsampling them.

Can you tell me how to adjust the configuration in order to get the best quality possible? I am using Raspberry Pi 3 Model B with Raspberry Pi 8MP Camera Board V2.

I looked through the config files and adjusted the bitrates, but there isn't much to do there. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks, Rex.

In media_config.conf, set use_dynamic_video_resolution=false and manually enter the resolution in fixed_video_resolution to find the desired video quality. The resolution set in fixed_video_resolution must have the same resolution in video_resolution_list_x_x.

If the resolution does not improve the image quality, the maximum bandwidth at high resolution in chrome://webrtc-logs/ will be the maximum bandwidth between browser and raspberry pi.

Thanks, Lyu.

Thanks for the suggestion. Reconfigure but did not notice any significant changes, though its running on low memory which is good.

Was busy for the past 2 months. Revisited my work and found that the reason why I was not able to set the resolution. Because 1920x1080 is 16x9 instead of 4x3, which is why RWS will ignore even if I edited other flags.

Set

resolution_4_3_enable=false

to enable any resolution inside the video_resolution_list_16_9 list.
