Starting HLS stream

[Btrem69]

Been looking and can't find this in the discussions.

Been using jQuery to pop open a small window with the stream:

$("#videoMe").click(function () {
let vidWindow = window.open("http://localhost:8888/proxied", "video", vidParams,)
vidWindow.moveTo(500, 100);
vidWindow.focus();
})

but when I try to embed it in my web app with a video tag, the server doesn't get notified to start streaming. I've tried:

paths:
proxied:
# url of the source stream, in the format rtsp://user:pass@host:port/path
source: rtsp://admin:[email protected]:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1?subtype=0
sourceOnDemend: no

and

command to run when a client connects to the server.

this is terminated with SIGINT when a client disconnects from the server.

the server port is available in the RTSP_PORT variable.

runOnConnect: yes

the restart parameter allows to restart the command if it exits suddenly.

runOnConnectRestart: yes

Thanks for you help.

HLS streams can't be used directly as source of a <video> tag, this is not supported by all browsers except Safari. You have to load the stream with a library like https://github.com/video-dev/hls.js/
