Streaming a camera to Chromecast #Video #Streaming #Chromecast @hardillb
Ben’s Place provides details on streaming a cheap WiFi camera to a Chromecast device connected to a TV.
Chromecasts support a number of different media types but for video we have 2 common codec that will work across all the currently available device types.
H264
VP8
And we have 3 options to deliver the video stream
HLS
DASH
SmoothStreaming
These are all basically the same, they chop the video up into short segments and generate a play list that points to the segments in order and the consumer downloads each segment. When it reaches the end of the list it downloads the list again which will now hold the next list of segments.
The setup is running on a Raspberry Pi 4 running Raspbian Buster.
