UDP #30

Closed scottlamb closed 3 years ago

scottlamb commented 3 years ago

It'd be nice to support RTP/UDP in addition to RTP/TCP (interleaved channels) for at least a couple reasons:

Work for receiving data over UDP:

When sending data (a client using the ONVIF audio back channel, or a server, neither of which is implemented yet anyway), we'd also need to implement pacing.

scottlamb commented 3 years ago

@jlpoolen if you're very brave, you can try out the wip-udp branch with the new --transport=udp option. It's only received about one minute of testing, and it has several known problems mentioned in the commit message, but in the one minute it did appear to work well with Reolink cameras.

I won't prepare a Moonfire NVR version with this until it's more solid.

jlpoolen commented 3 years ago

Brave as in a dog to a steak? Can you provide me an example of a URL for the UDP connection? I've not ventured in Reolink's UDP capability and would need an example to construct ones for my cameras. (Thinking a scripted population of the configuration stuff (I'd write a Perl script) may be in order -- that is a time-consuming process.)

scottlamb commented 3 years ago

The URL doesn't change. With the additional --transport=udp parameter, Retina will (after setting up the sockets and such) tell the Reolink server to use UDP via the Transport: header of the SETUP method.

Do you want me to leave tails of log files? I've tried three times, 10-20 seconds, then 2 almost 1 minute until a failure. Here my most recent:

jlpoole@taurus /usr/local/src/retina_branch/retina $ cargo run --example client mp4 --transport udp --url rtsp://192.168.1.54:554/h264Preview_01_main --username moon --password fire123  --duration 600 /tmp/retina_wip.mp4
    ...

For posterity, here's what I did to switch to this branch after I clone into a new area, e.g. /usr/local/src/retina_branch,

jlpoole@taurus /usr/local/src/retina_branch $ git clone https://github.com/scottlamb/retina.git
jlpoole@taurus /usr/local/src/retina_branch $ cd retina/
    jlpoole@taurus /usr/local/src/retina_branch/retina $ git checkout 1f3abb7d0c018087d2140b7eb3905c98799a1782
Note: switching to '1f3abb7d0c018087d2140b7eb3905c98799a1782'.

You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
state without impacting any branches by switching back to a branch.

If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using -c with the switch command. Example:

  git switch -c <new-branch-name>

Or undo this operation with:

  git switch -

Turn off this advice by setting config variable advice.detachedHead to false

HEAD is now at 1f3abb7 WIP: UDP support (#30)

I'm a Subversion fan, so git is a foreign language for me. I had to fumble around until I came upon the "git checkout ..." command.

You can let me know either through this thread, or by other means, if you would like further testing or a testing that might generate unique logs with different error messages What I could do is accumulate log files and then hash the errors to identify different ones.

scottlamb commented 3 years ago

Don't go to any trouble to gather logs and things; I haven't really done my due diligence on my own yet. But I should have mentioned: it probably should be used with --allow-loss as well. UDP is inherently somewhat lossy, although it's interesting that you're reliably seeing loss in the first minute.

scottlamb commented 3 years ago

I believe this is working well now.

jlpoolen commented 3 years ago

I have not updated since my initial pull. But I did do further testing and had several last until the specified duration of 10 minutes was reached. Do you want me to activate some tests? I've been working on a Perl script which automates testing and logging.

scottlamb commented 3 years ago

Sure; I am curious how it will do in your high-loss environment. It's merged to the main branch now, so you'll want to git checkout main back. It's also available in Moonfire NVR via --rtsp-transport=udp.
