const videoStream = require('../index');
let express = require('express');
let path = require('path');
let app = express();
app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public')));
app.get('/', function(req, res, next) {
res.sendFile(__dirname+'/index.html');
});
const options = {
url : 'rtsp://wowzaec2demo.streamlock.net/vod/mp4:BigBuckBunny_115k.mp4', // rtsp URL. this is sample url
segmentFolder : __dirname + '/public/segment', //The path is where the .m3u8 and ts files will be stored.
ffmpegOptions : { //ffmpeg option.
// If you have a ffmpeg option you want to add, write it down here.
'-hls_time': '30', // If the same option is set, it is possible to change the value.
'ultrafast':undefined // single option other than the key-value type, it can be set by setting the value to undefined.
},
}
const stream = new videoStream(options);
stream.start();
app.listen(3000);
