insta360_rtsp_streamer

This is work in progress for:

1. re-shaping/transcoding the videostream from a Insta360
   
2. provide it via a RTSP-Server so that it can be viewed with common video/streaming players
   

This is a short documentation on the nessesary Setup-Steps:

#Stage-1: Install Mischa Spiegelmock's RTSP-server

###reference: https://github.com/revmischa/rtsp-server
###Install debian jessie dependences:
sudo apt-get install libmoose-perl liburi-perl libmoosex-getopt-perl libsocket6-perl libanyevent-perl
sudo cpan AnyEvent::MPRPC::Client
###Clone from git
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/revmischa/rtsp-server
###Then make, test and install
cd rtsp-server
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
sudo make install
###Simply fire up the included rtsp-server.pl application and it will listen for clients on port 554 (standard RTSP port), and source streams on port 5545.
sudo ./rtsp-server.pl

#Stage-2: Install ffmpeg

sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
###run example ffmpeg pipelines provided in scripts

###alternatively you may compile ffmpeg with OMX hardware support from its sources and make some adjustments

sudo apt-get remove modemmanager -y
sudo apt install gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad gstreamer1.0-libav -y
###Logout and login again to enable the change to user permissions.
###Download QGroundControl.AppImage.
cd ~
mkdir QGroundControl
cd QGroundControl
wget https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/qgroundcontrol/latest/QGroundControl.AppImage
###Install (and run) using the terminal commands:
chmod +x ./QGroundControl.AppImage
