can sample program send streaming from named pipe? about amazon-kinesis-video-streams-producer-sdk-cpp HOT 4 CLOSED

Glad you are able to send to Kinesis Video Stream from Raspberry Pi.

Are you planning to create the video stream from myprogram and store it in /tmp/input then send to Kinesis Video Stream? If so, then please take a look at unit tests in particular ProducerAPITest.cpp.

Please note that you can view the video playable in the console then the stream has to be h.264 encoded before sending through putFrame in Kinesis Video Streams Producer SDK.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

@hryktrd, as @unicornss mentioned, you can take a look at the samples and see how a media pipeline produced frames can be pushed to the KVS. If you have a random pipe with the video data (or any other data) then in the application you have to handle two things:

• Have a way to determine the frame start/size so you can operate at a frame granularity instead of a byte stream
• Have a way to extract the frame timestamps. If it's just a stream of video, you can configure your KVS stream to timestamp the frames as they arrive.
• Have a way to determine whether the frame is a key-frame or not. Perhaps, examining the NAL units to see whether it's an I-frame or have another way of extracting this information.

Best regards!

Hi @hryktrd Are you planning to use PI to run the producer SDK? Are you trying to get the videos saved into a folder before streaming to KVS? Could you help us understand what kind of video analytics are you trying to build from those video streams?

Closing this for now. Please reopen if the support for this use case/request/issue is required.
