Video.Middleware is an Express.js-based middleware designed to capture RTSP streams and process them into various formats, including JPEG images, Base64 strings, and MP4 videos.

• RTSP Stream Capture: Connect to RTSP streams and capture frames.

• Image Processing: Save frames as JPEG images.

• Base64 Encoding: Convert frames to Base64 strings for easy transmission.

• Video Recording: Record streams and save them as MP4 videos.

• Configurable Intervals: Set custom intervals for frame capturing.

• RESTful API: Control streaming operations via API endpoints.

• Node.js (v14 or higher)

• FFmpeg installed and added to system PATH

• An RTSP stream source

Install dependencies with npm

git clone https://github.com/MDAmir159/Video.Middleware.git
cd Video.Middleware

Install dependencies:

npm install

Configure environment variables:

• Rename .env.example to .env:

cp .env.example .env

• Update the .env file with your configurations

Start the server:

npm start

The server will start on the port specified in the .env file (default is 3000).

• GET /start: Initiates the RTSP stream processing.

• GET /stop: Stops the RTSP stream processing.

• GET /status: Retrieves the current status of the stream processing.

Note: Ensure proper authentication and validation in production environments.

To test the application:

Start the server.

• Access http://localhost:3000/start to begin processing.

• Access http://localhost:3000/status to check the status.

• Access http://localhost:3000/stop to end processing.

• Processed files will be saved in the public/outputs directory.
