mjpeg-consumer

mjpeg-consumer

A node.js stream implementation that consumes http mjpeg streams and emits jpegs.

###Install###

npm install mjpeg-consumer

---

###Objects### Requiring the mjpeg-consumer module returns a readable/writable stream implementation that takes an http mjpeg stream and emits jpegs.

var MjpegConsumer = require("mjpeg-consumer");
var consumer = new MjpegConsumer();

---

###Usage### The mjpeg-consumer isn't very useful without a writable pipe to pipe jpegs to. I've built the file-on-write stream to write a file every time write is called on it. The below example opens a stream to an IP camera, pipes the results to the mjpeg-consumer which processes the stream and emits parsed jpegs to the file-on-write writer.

var request = require("request");
var MjpegConsumer = require("mjpeg-consumer");
var FileOnWrite = require("file-on-write");

var writer = new FileOnWrite({ 
	path: './video',
	ext: '.jpg'
});
var consumer = new MjpegConsumer();

request("http://192.168.1.2/videostream.cgi").pipe(consumer).pipe(writer);
