RTSP to MJPEG stream conversion using FFmpeg and FFserver

Below are the environmental variables available and their default value. Override them as needed.

Variables Default
RTSP_URL rtsp://freja.hiof.no:1935/rtplive/definst/hessdalen03.stream
FFSERVER_LOG_LEVEL error
FFMPEG_LOG_LEVEL warning
FFMPEG_INPUT_OPTS empty
FFMPEG_OUTPUT_OPTS empty

Output

Live stream: http://<IP>:8090/live.mjpg
Still snapshot: http://<IP>:8090/still.jpg

The ffserver.conf values are set for Wyze Cam V2 output. If you need to customize it you can pull the source and build with your own values.

Docker Compose

  • Clone the repo
  • Edit docker-compose.yaml for any customizations needed
  • Launch the containers using docker-compose up -d

There will be an nginx container included to proxy ffserver. I find that it handles situations where the ffserver backend becomes unresponse better with a timeout reponse.

With docker-compose, the output can be accessed via:

Live stream: http://<IP>/live.mjpg
Still snapshot: http://<IP>/still.jpg
