Screenshot of live stream in real time

[Pavel Tsukanov]

Hi

Is there is a way to capture screenshots of live stream each 10 seconds in real time. As I understand I can capture the screenshots on publisher side. But it's not good solution for me, because I should store the screenshots on a file server. I.e. I should send the screenshots to the file server and it decreases upload bandwidth of client.

Is it possible to do it on server side?

Thank you

Pavel

You. Can use ffmpeg to read the stream over rtmp and generate snapshots every n seconds

Is there a way to use Amazon Kinesis Video (https://aws.amazon.com/kinesis/video-streams/features/?nc=sn&loc=2) as a viewer?

Thanks, @Connesione for providing the answer. For the last question, are you asking that to integrate it with Ant media server?

Yes. I have a WebRTC stream and would like to take screenshots every N seconds. ffmpeg does not support WebRTC and I can't use it. I found what Amazon Kinesis Video can ingest WebRTC   stream. Also Amazon Kinesis Video has API to allow me to create screenshots and more features.

So I would like pass webrttc stream from antmedia to Kinesis

I think a Java API in the application class would be better to capture incoming video data to thumbnail. This is a good feature for many.Just a opinion.

Using ffmpeg is more like a hack/workaround I guess. What do you think?

Antmedia team is planning to add a new feature - plugin . I think it's the best choice.  But I do not know when they do it (I do not know when 2.4.0 version will be out) and I need the screenshots right now.
