# Raspberry Pi RX5808 5.8GHz video streaming server
This short Python script uses GStreamer to convert a video stream from an V4L2 USB device into a webbrowser-compatible MJPEG stream. This is presented on a webinterface that allows interacting with an RX5808 5.8GHz video receiver via SPI.
## Hardware
Use one of the popular cheap [RX5808](https://www.banggood.com/FPV-5_8G-Wireless-Audio-Video-Receiving-Module-RX5808-p-84775.html) 5.8GHz receiver modules with the [SPI modification done to it](https://github.com/sheaivey/rx5808-pro-diversity/blob/develop/docs/rx5808-spi-mod.md).
To convert the analog video into a digital signal, use one of the many Video4Linux compatible USB devices, [as described in more detail on the LinuxTV pages](https://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Easycap), like [this one](https://www.banggood.com/DC5V-USB-Video-Capture-Card-TV-Tuner-LED-VCR-DVD-Audio-Adapter-Converter-p-1082298.html?rmmds=search).

On a Raspberry Pi, with a recent Raspbian installed and the USB video grabber and SPI RX5808 connected, run the following commands:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install gitgit clone http://xythobuz.de/git/rpi-rx5808-stream
cd rpi-rx5808-stream
sudo make deps
sudo make installNow, point your browser to your Raspberry Pi on port 81 (eg. http://raspi3.local:81).

See the beginning of the rpi-rx5808-stream.py file for all the customizable parameters. You can just run `sudo make install` again after any changes to reinstall and restart the service.
You can check the status, output and control the service with these commands:
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable rpi-rx5808-stream.servicesudo systemctl start rpi-rx5808-stream.service
sudo systemctl stop rpi-rx5808-stream.servicesudo systemctl status rpi-rx5808-stream.service
sudo journalctl -u rpi-rx5808-stream.service
sudo journalctl -fu rpi-rx5808-stream.serviceIt will automatically be restarted by systemd after crashes.

Large parts of the included Python server script are based on the work of [srinathava in the raspberry-pi-stream-audio-video project](https://github.com/srinathava/raspberry-pi-stream-audio-video). This in turn was based on the [HTTP live streaming implementation by Jeremy Grosser](http://synack.me/blog/implementing-http-live-streaming).
The Javascript MJPEG player included in the Webinterface is [mjpeg.js made by codebrainz](https://gist.github.com/codebrainz/eeeeead894e8bdff059b).
