README
flask-raspi-video-streamer
==========================
Flask-RESTful API to create and serve up a live-stream from a raspberry pi to web and android clients.
Original code borrowed/altered from [miguelgrinberg/flask-video-streaming](https://github.com/miguelgrinberg/flask-video-streaming).
Android client is available at [robsmall/raspi-video-streamer-app](https://github.com/robsmall/raspi-video-streamer-app).
Set Up A Virtual Environment To Run The App Using Virtualenv On A Pi
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Install virtualenv on the pi as root
```
$ sudo pip install virtualenv
```
Then, create a `.env` virtual environment
```
$ virtualenv .env
```
and use it
```
$ source .env/bin/activate
```
Then, install all the requirements for the pi
```
$ pip install -U -r requirements-pi.txt
```
Set the `CAMERA` environment variable to use the pi camera for android
```
$ export CAMERA=pi_android
```
Now you are good to run the app using
```
$ python app.py
```
To Run Using Gunicorn
---------------------
Instead of running the app directly using python, run
```
$ gunicorn --threads 5 --workers 1 --bind 0.0.0.0:5000 app:app
```

TODO
----
- This is currently set up for `pi_android`, hook everything else up to work properly too.
- Get this to work with web clients or allow for running of the one-off `simple_mjpeg-server.py` script.
- See TODOs in `video_feed.py`
