backup Stream ( is it possible incoming 2 stream to broadcast )

[burak guder]

Hi Flahphoner

When the rtsp stream is wrong I want to use the broadcast from the 2nd rtsp url.

Is this possible ?

I could not do this on the player. Player gives error code too late

This would be great if flashphoner can do this

Good day.
You can use REST API to do this:
1. Pull the stream using REST query /rtsp/startup

{
 "uri":"rtsp://myserver.com/live/myStream",
 "toStream": "myRTSPstream"
}

2. Check if stream is captured successfully using REST query /rtsp/find_all
3. If the stream is not captured, pull the backup stream

{
 "uri":"rtsp://mybackupserver.com/live/myBackupStream",
 "toStream": "myRTSPstream"
}

this is working but stream is taking too long to drop (12 sec)
how can i shorten this period?

I found a solution like this

<?php


$backup  =  'rtsp://xxxxxxxxx/live2.sdp';
$main  =  'rtsp://xxxxxxxxxxx/live2.sdp';


$i = 100;
while ($i < 200) {
    
    exec("curl --head --connect-timeout 2 -i -X OPTIONS $main  >out.log");
    $status = 0;
    foreach(file('out.log') as $line) {
        $status = trim($line) ;
        echo "Status : $line \n";
        break;
    }
    
    if ($status == 'RTSP/1.0 200 OK') {
        stopStream($backup);
        startStream($main, 'xxx555');
        echo "Stream Main Active \n ";
        
    } else {
        exec("curl --head --connect-timeout 1 -i -X OPTIONS $backup  >out.log");
        sleep(1);
        $status = 0;
        foreach(file('out.log') as $line) {
            $status = trim($line);
            echo "Status : $line \n";
            break;
        }
        
        if ($status == 'RTSP/1.0 200 OK') {
            stopStream($main);
            usleep(200);
            startStream($backup, 'xxx555');
            echo " Stream Backup Active \n ";
        } else {
            echo " ERROR ALL INPUT  \n ";
        }
        
    }
    
    usleep(500);
}


function stopStream($url) {
    
    $options = array (
        'http' => array (
            'header' => "Content-type: application/json",
            'method' => 'POST',
            'content' => '{
                            "uri":"'.$url.'"
                          }'
        )
    );
    
    @ getInfoHeader ( "http://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:8081/rest-api/rtsp/terminate", $options );
    
}

function startStream($url, $streamName) {
    
    $options = array (
        'http' => array (
            'header' => "Content-type: application/json",
            'method' => 'POST',
            'content' => '{
                            "uri":"'.$url.'",
                            "toStream":"'.$streamName.'"
                          }'
        )
    );
    
    $getlog2 = getInfoHeader ( "http://xxxxxxxxxxxxx:8081/rest-api/rtsp/startup", $options );
    echo $getlog2;
    
}


function getInfoHeader($url, $options) {
    
    
    $context = stream_context_create ( $options );
    $result = file_get_contents ( $url, false, $context );
    if ($result === FALSE) {
        //echo "An error occured!";
    }
    return $result;
}

How do I reload on the player side ?

Good day.
