This alone improves interop and diagnostics, as noted in Retina's
release notes. We also now give the camera name to the session group
(for improved logging of TEARDOWN operations) and expose the RTSP
server's "tool" attribute in debug logs and the config UI's "Test"
button.
Fixes#209Fixes#213
* switch the config interface over to use Retina and make the test
button honor rtsp_transport = udp.
* adjust the threading model of the Retina streaming code.
Before, it spawned a background future that read from the runtime and
wrote to a channel. Other calls read from this channel.
After, it does work directly from within the block_on calls (no
channels).
The immediate motivation was that the config interface didn't have
another runtime handy. And passing in a current thread runtime
deadlocked. I later learned this is a difference between
Runtime::block_on and Handle::block_on. The former will drive IO and
timers; the latter will not.
But this is also more efficient to avoid so many thread hand-offs.
Both the context switches and the extra spinning that
tokio appears to do as mentioned here:
https://github.com/scottlamb/retina/issues/5#issuecomment-871971550
This may not be the final word on the threading model. Eventually
I may not have per-stream writing threads at all. But I think it will
be easier to look at this after getting rid of the separate
`moonfire-nvr config` subcommand in favor of a web interface.
* in tests, read `.mp4` files via the `mp4` crate rather than ffmpeg.
The annoying part is that this doesn't parse edit lists; oh well.
* simplify the `Opener` interface. Formerly, it'd take either a RTSP
URL or a path to a `.mp4` file, and they'd share some code because
they both sometimes used ffmpeg. Now, they're totally different
libraries (`retina` vs `mp4`). Pull the latter out to a `testutil`
module with a different interface that exposes more of the `mp4`
stuff. Now `Opener` is just for RTSP.
* simplify the h264 module. It had a lot of logic to deal with Annex B.
Retina doesn't use this encoding.
Fixes#36Fixes#126
* switch from json to toml.
I think this will be more user-friendly. It allows comments and has
less punctuation. Fewer surprises than yaml (which has e.g. the
"Norway problem"). I might have stayed with JSON if I could see a
good serde json library that allows comments, but hson is unmaintained
and serde-json strictly follows the spec.
* switch from camelCase to snake_case. Seems more idiomatic for TOML
and matches the Rust source.
* forbid unknown keys. Better to spot errors sooner.
* rename "trust_forward_hdrs" to "trust_forward_headers". Nothing else
is abbreviated.
I did a full `cargo upgrade` and fixed what it broke:
* a couple things for the latest protobuf 3.0 alphas
(note alphas don't promise API stability)
* new minimum supported Rust version
This should have some other nice effects: parking_lot now uses inline
assembler, tokio has gotten faster, etc.
SelectView::set_selection doesn't seem to be working properly. The
symptom is editing an existing camera will clear the sample file dir,
and thus hitting edit without making any changes will fail.
This drops several older dependencies and reduces final binary size
(text section by ~200KiB, unstripped binary by ~12MiB)
I'll have to manually add new hash formats, and I won't ever be able
to take advantage of libpasta's (currently unused) facility to wrap
hashes, but I think it's worth it. libpasta isn't well-maintained.
After a frustrating search for a suitable channel to use for shutdown
(tokio::sync:⌚:Receiver and
futures::future::Shared<tokio::sync::oneshot::Receiver> didn't look
quite right) in which I rethought my life decisions, I finally just made
my own (server/base/shutdown.rs). We can easily poll it or wait for it
in async or sync contexts. Most importantly, it's convenient; not that
it really matters here, but it's also efficient.
We now do a slightly better job of propagating a "graceful" shutdown
signal, and this channel will give us tools to improve it over time.
* Shut down even when writer or syncer operations are stuck. Fixes#117
* Not done yet: streamers should instantly shut down without waiting for
a connection attempt or frame or something. I'll probably
implement that when removing --rtsp-library=ffmpeg. The code should be
cleaner then.
* Not done yet: fix a couple places that sleep for up to a second when
they could shut down immediately. I just need to do the plumbing for
mock clocks to work.
I also implemented an immediate shutdown mode, activated by a second
signal. I think this will mitigate the streamer wait situation.
* upgrade to Retina 0.3.1 which automatically tears down sessions
* wait out stale sessions before reconnecting
* wait for teardown to complete before shutting down
This adds some pressure on #117: it will keep waiting for the stale
session to expire even if the user has requested shutdown. I'll try
to address that next.
This mostly affects .mp4 init segments (#146), which currently set the
Last-Modified: date to the epoch. It could also affect other resources
(static files, other .mp4 changes) but only if the clock has gone
backwards.
As written in the changelog: Live streams formerly worked around a
Firefox pixel aspect ratio bug by forcing all videos to 16:9, which
dramatically distorted 9:16 camera views. Playback didn't, so anamorphic
videos looked correct on Chrome but slightly stretched on Firefox. Now
both live streams and playback are fully correct on all browsers.
While I'm here, return a clean error if a non-initial video frame
includes a parameter change, rather than doing something crazy (#42).
It's still broken under ffmpeg, it's untested, and it's not as clean
as seamlessly starting a new recording with the new parameters, but
it's better than nothing.
