Hi! First of all, thank you for this is amazing. I was wondering if there was any easy way to stop the data transmission, I'm trying to not consume data while not really using the images but don't manage to do it.

Hi @MikelDB. Right now there's now way to stop the stream, other than ending the node process completely.

Internally this library is built on https://github.com/binocarlos/raspivid, which also has no way to stop the stream, that's the main problem.

I'd be happy to merge a PR to do this though, if you like. You'd need to:

Get a PR into that node raspivid library (or fork it) adding stop functionality
Update this library to use the new versoin.
Attach a .stop() function to the stream we return here.
When stop is called, reset liveStream and headerData, so that later calls start the stream from scratch again.
