It's cleaner anyway to use `tokio::broadcast::channel` than the list
of callbacks.
Also make it send pings only on long pauses between frames, as when
the camera is disconnected.
This is optional but now enabled for release builds.
Why?
* It shrinks the release docker images a bit, as the binary
includes only the gzipped version of files and uncompressed into RAM
at startup (which should be fast).
* It's a step toward #160.
I think this is a big improvement in readability.
I removed the `lnav` config, which is a little sad, but I don't think it
supports this structured logging format well. Still seems worthwhile on
balance.
* take advantage of new features to default to `--help` and to print
the defaults
* remove blank lines from argument help docstrings to avoid truncating
the output on single `--help` arg (as opposed to `--help --help`)
I'd use the actual released 0.9.1 but it looks like it's not quite out
yet. Will switch over when it is.
Improves #70: this reduces binary size from 12.3 MiB to 11.9 MiB (3%) on
macOS/arm64.
The user experience is almost the same. (The help output's `Usage:`
lines lack the e.g. `moonfire-nvr run` prefix of argv[0] and subcommand,
which isn't ideal, but I guess it's pretty minor in the grand scheme of
things.)
This is useful for e.g. deciding whether or not to present the user
admin UI in navigation.
As part of this change, I adjusted the casing in Permissions, and then
all the toml stuff for consistency. Noted in changelog.
Fixes#206. 307a388 switched to creating a single-threaded runtime for
each stream, then destroying prior to waiting for TEARDOWN on shutdown.
This meant that the shutdown process could panic with this error:
```
panic at '/home/slamb/git/retina/src/client/mod.rs:219:22': teardown Sender shouldn't be dropped: RecvError(())
```
Let's switch back to expecting a multithreaded runtime context.
Create one for the config subcommand, too.
Don't go all the way back to the old code with its channels, though.
That had the downside that the underlying retina::Session might outlive
the caller, so there could still be an active session when we start
the next one. I haven't seen this cause problems in practice but it
still doesn't seem right.
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.
