Video Streaming Configuration

The Rincon family product default firmware can be easily configured via the OpenWRT Web Admin as a video feed server (encoder) or client (decoder).

Video Server

To configure as a streaming server (encoder) goto the admin/services/tivideo path (ie  http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/luci/admin/services/tivideo) and configure as a 'Server' with your choice of IP, Port, fps, resolution, and codec parameters.

Video Client

To configure as a streaming client (decoder) goto the admin/services/tivideo path (ie  http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/luci/admin/services/tivideo) and configure as a 'Client' with your choice of IP, Port, fps, resolution, and codec parameters.

Playback on a networked computer

Provided you have a computer on the same network as your target board with proper decode capability (hardware/software) for your codec configuration, you can play back the stream there as well. The streaming server provides a 'Session Description Protocol' (SDP) at  http://<targetip>/video.sdp that describes the multimedia stream to playback clients supporting that file type. The free open-source VLC player ( http://videolan.org) for example supports this file type and depending on your OS/browser configuration will automatically launch the VLC player with the sdp file when downloaded from the target URL:  http://192.168.1.1/video.sdp. The SDP file is a standard text file and can be easily examined to determine the characteristics of the stream. The file describes the network and codec properties of the stream.
