🎥 Video.Middleware

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.

🚀 Features

• 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.

🛠️ Prerequisites

• Node.js (v14 or higher)

• FFmpeg installed and added to system PATH

• An RTSP stream source

📡 API Endpoints

• 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.

🧪 Testing

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.
