h264_v4l2_rtspserver

This provide an RTSP server feed from an Video4Linux device that support H264 format.

It involves :

• libv4l-dev to capture video frames
• liblivemedia-dev (http://www.live555.com) to implement RTSP server

The RTSP server support :

• RTP/UDP unicast
• RTP/UDP multicast
• RTP/TCP
• RTP/RTSP/HTTP

Build

cmake .
make

If it fails you will need to install libv4l-dev liblivemedia-dev.
If it still not work you will need to read Makefile.

Install

cpack .
dpkg -i h264_v4l2_rtspserver*.deb

Raspberry Pi

This RTSP server works on Raspberry Pi using :

• the unofficial V4L2 driver for the Raspberry Pi Camera Module http://www.linux-projects.org/modules/sections/index.php?op=viewarticle&artid=14
• the official V4L2 driver bcm2835-v4l2
