This allows each camera to have a main and a sub stream. Previously there was
a field in the schema for the sub stream's url, but it didn't do anything. Now
you can configure individual retention for main and sub streams. They show up
grouped in the UI.
No support for upgrading from schema version 1 yet.
This is a wash in terms of lines of code now, but it makes it a bit easier to
maintain as I make changes to the schema (such as separating out streams from
cameras), and it helps ensure the tests reflect reality.
My odroid setup has been occasionally (about once a week) losing about 15
seconds of recordings on all cameras. I'm not sure why. So I'm labelling all
the likely suspect spots and logging if any of them takes longer than a
second. I think this will give me more information; hopefully narrow it down
to network or local disk I/O.
* the "lib: {}" print didn't do anything. It turns out that the pkg-config
crate emits the necessary metadata for linking automatically. I had the
wrong format and didn't notice because something else did it correctly.
* gcc::Config is deprecated; the new name is Build.
* and the crate is now called cc, version 1.0.
Stuff found while looking at #11. Still haven't figured that issue out.
* make "yarn build" cmd work on first run.
(it was installing a hardlinked file where the dir should go, yuck)
* remove an obsolete ui/index.html; it's ui-src/index.html now
I'd temporarily pointed this to a local path for development and didn't notice
it was still in place when committing. Back to the git path that works for
everyone.
The Javascript is pretty amateurish I'm sure but at least it's something to
iterate from. It's already much more pleasant for browsing through videos in
several ways:
* more responsive to load only a day at a time rather than 90+ days
* much easier to see the same time segment on several cameras
* more pleasant to have the videos load as a popup rather than a link
that blows away your position in an enormous list
* exposes the fancier .mp4 generation options: splitting at lengths
other than the default, trimming to an arbitrary start and end time,
including a subtitle track with timestamps.
There's a slight regression in functionality: I didn't match the former
top-level page which showed how much camera used of its disk allocation and
the total duration of video. This is exposed in the JSON API, so it shouldn't
be too hard to add back.
The recording::Segment was constructing a segment with no frames in it, which
was causing a panic when appending a zero-length stts to the Slices. Fix this
in a couple ways:
* Slices::append should return Err rather than panic. No reason to crash the
whole program when we have trouble serving a single .mp4 request.
* recording::Segment shouldn't produce zero-frame segments
I had an assert that fired in this case, dating back to when I hadn't plumbed
Result returns through much of .mp4 construction. Now I have, so there's no
excuse in having an assert here. Change to an error return, and tweak it to
not fire in the zero-duration case.
Also fix a problem in the test harness; I hadn't finished converting it for
multi-recording tests, and it was returning the wrong recording.
Because of that, I seem to have stumbled across a related problem in which
asking for zero duration of a non-zero duration recording will return a
recording::Segment with no frames, which will cause panics because its
corresponding .mp4 slices are zero-length. I just adjusted the panic message
here; I'll follow up with changes to address that.
* CameraDayKey::bounds (used to generate the start and end times of days in
the returned JSON) returned UTC, not matching what recordings were mapped
into that day. So fetching a day with its given bounds would return
something different. Test and fix it.
* Several time-related tests weren't calling testutil::init(), so they weren't
fixing the time zone to the expected America/Los_Angeles. If the machine
time is set to something else, they would break.
I think this is an ffmpeg bug, which I plan to report. In the meantime, this
makes the tests pass. Long-term, even if ffmpeg fixes this, I probably don't
want to continue doing acceptance tests against whatever version of ffmpeg
happens to be installed - my real targets of interest are the latest versions
of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, QuickTime, and VLC.
This was causing Firefox to fail to play multipart .mp4s which trimmed away a
prefix. In the developer console, it said NS_ERROR_DOM_MEDIA_METADATA_ERR
without giving any RESULT_DETAIL, making it a pain to diagnose. Given that the
stss is supposed to be needed for seeking, I'm surprised it didn't have any
immediately obvious impact on Chrome or VLC. Maybe they just took longer to
seek than otherwise necessary.
The bug was that when keeping track of the "next frame num" while constructing
the .mp4, I appended the number in the underlying recording, not the number
post-trimming. That meant following segments used the wrong numbers. In some
cases, it caused it to exceed the total number of samples in the generated
.mp4, which seems to be what Firefox was complaining about. Running the result
through "ffmpeg -i bad.mp4 -c copy -f mp4 good.mp4" just trimmed away the most
obviously invalid ones, leaving others that didn't point to the frames they
meant to. That was enough to make Firefox start playing the file. /shruggie
The existing tests were all with a single segment, so I added a new one to
catch this. I also added a Debug implementation to recording::Segment and
mp4::Segment.
This was totally broken in commit 1cf27c18. It would serve bytes from the
beginning of the sample file in question, not from the start of the given
range.
it should be exactly 1, but was slightly more because the fraction was
incorrectly 1 rather than 0. I'm not sure if any actual players care about
this, but it was something I noticed when looking into strange edit list
behavior.
This is intended to support HTML5 Media Source Extensions, which I expect to
be the most practical way to make a good web UI with a proper scrub bar and
such.
This feature has had very limited testing on Chrome and Firefox, and that was
not entirely successful. More work is needed before it's usable, but this
seems like a helpful progress checkpoint.
This significantly improves safety of the ffmpeg interface. The complex
ABIs aren't accessed directly from Rust. Instead, I have a small C
wrapper which uses the ffmpeg C API and the C headers at compile-time to
determine the proper ABI in the same way any C program using ffmpeg
would, so that the ABI doesn't have to be duplicated in Rust code.
I've tested with ffmpeg 2.x and ffmpeg 3.x; it seems to work properly
with both where before ffmpeg 3.x caused segfaults.
It still depends on ABI compatibility between the compiled and running
versions. C programs need this, too, and normal shared library
versioning practices provide this guarantee. But log both versions on
startup for diagnosing problems with this.
Fixes#7
The benchmarks don't get compiled with the standard "cargo test";
they require "cargo +nightly bench --features=nightly", so I didn't notice
they were broken in the previous commit. Now fixed.
