This is a step toward H.265 recording support (#33) by using Retina
for the `VisualSampleEncoding` instead of the prior H.264-specific
logic. The only further change to Moonfire itself needed for H.265 is to
add `| "h265"` to the check for the right video stream.
This also adds support for recording MJPEG, although browser playback
almost certainly won't work.
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.
* use `termion` rather than `ncurses` to limit runtime deps
* cross-compile with `cross` instead of our own dockerfiles/scripts
* update instructions
* update release procedure and GitHub actions to match
* prep changelog for `v0.7.8`
Fixes#160Closes#265
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.)
* In 0866b239, while fixing a clippy error, I accidentally inverted the
error condition.
* While I'm at it, improve the diagnostics. Print which field we're
talking about and the expected URL schemes.
This stops using parking_lot entirely. Since Rust 1.62, the std
implementations on Linux are direct futexes, not the boxed pthread
mutexes they used to be. No real reason to use parking_lot anymore, so
shed this dependency.
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.
