Dear All, I'm starting experimenting red-node. It runs on a raspberry. I'm looking for a node which can play a live streaming mp4 of my Netatmo camera. URL is something https://xxxx that ends with /live/index_local.m3u8. Format is CODECS="avc1.420028,mp4a.40.2". I saw @BartButenaers created someth…

Thanks for the info; but despite this and a restart of the red-node server, it would'nt appear in the palette. But @BartButenaers certainly give us the reason in his comment.

This is exactly the behaviour I would have: put a camera feed on the dashboard.

BTW here are the links to Kevin's node-red-contrib-ui-mp4frag and node-red-contrib-mp4frag nodes...

Ok... this is how I did it using VLC command line and a iframe node make a shell script with this in it #!/bin/bash cvlc -R rtsp://admin:admin@192.168.2.205:554/Streaming/Channels/102 --sout "#transcode{vb=1000,fps=5,vcodec=MJPG,fps=5,acodec=none}:standard{access=http{mime=multipart/x-mixed-replac…

Many thanks Bart :pray: :pray: :pray:. I used ui_mp4frag and solved the issue in 2 minutes.

Many thanks for your clear explanation. Based on the comment of @BartButenaers , I used the ui_mp4frag which solved problem in few seconds.

No problem.. Might have to look into that myself!

In my use case, it was very easy, just to provide the url ending with .m3u8 to the ui_mp4frag, add a property in the settings.js and that's it.

could be wrong but I dont think this wont work for an RTSP stream. HLS streaming only?

It works very well with RTSP. You may test a setting like the one in the link below. For a full understanding you have to read the thread. It's long but very informative
