streamR

William Revelle often says that R can do anything, even order a pizza. So, I wondered, could R be used to parse options and stream movies to my RTMP server using ffmpeg?

Installation

sudo curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/frenchja/streamR/master/stream.R -o /usr/local/bin/stream.R
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/stream.R

Usage

stream.R --server rtmp://yourserver movie.mkv

Options

1. --help: Display help menu.
2. --time: Desired start time of stream.
3. --server: RTMP server address.
4. --framerate: Output framerate.
5. --crf: Constant Rate Factor.
6. --update: Update stream.R to latest master.

TODO

1. Process management
2. Use lapply and cat to allow for the creation of a movie playlist.
