Live streaming with HTML5

This document contains collected notes regarding html5 live streaming approaches. I'm trying to understand how to build a system that enables streaming of live video to HTML5 clients. Following content is mainly centered around MPEG-DASH - modern way of dealing with given needs.

Approach 1

To prepare movie.avi from MPEG-DASH streaming we will execute following ffmpeg commands:

> ffmpeg -y -i movie.avi -an -c:v libx264 -x264opts 'keyint=24:min-keyint=24:no-scenecut' -b:v 1500k -maxrate 1500k -bufsize 3000k -vf "scale=-1:720" movie-720.mp4
> ffmpeg -y -i movie.avi -an -c:v libx264 -x264opts 'keyint=24:min-keyint=24:no-scenecut' -b:v 800k -maxrate 800k -bufsize 1600k -vf "scale=-1:540" movie-540.mp4
&gt; ffmpeg -y -i movie.avi -an -c:v libx264 -x264opts 'keyint=24:min-keyint=24:no-scenecut' -b:v 400k -maxrate 400k -bufsize 800k -vf "scale=-1:360" movie-360.mp4

Android - Update Android SDK from the commandline

Update the installed packages

sdkmanager --update

List all items (--all is needed to show obsolete, build tools and other items)

sdkmanager --list

Node.js Deployment

Steps to deploy a Node.js app to DigitalOcean using PM2, NGINX as a reverse proxy and an SSL from LetsEncrypt

1. Sign up for Digital Ocean

If you use the referal link below, you get $10 free (1 or 2 months) https://m.do.co/c/5424d440c63a

2. Create a droplet and log in via ssh

I will be using the root user, but would suggest creating a new user
