Live-Video-Streaming-with-Python-and-Flask

In this project Live Video Streaming is Done with Python Using Flask and Gunicorn as a production WSGI server with gevent for asynchronous calls. It streams the video and also saves the stream. Find the demo of working of the project in video.mkv and all thanks to the the article written by Miguel Grinberg.

Following depencencies should be installed before running the code:

 pip3 install opencv-python	
 pip3 install flask
 pip3 install gunicorn (This cannot be installed in Windows)
 pip3 install gevent (This cannot be installed in Windows)

Download the repository, Open the folder in the terminal.

In Ubuntu:

Without Gunicorn and Gevent Install Run:

export FLASK_APP=livefeed.py
flask run

With Gunicorn:

gunicorn --threads 5 --workers 1 --bind 0.0.0.0:5000 livefeed:app

With Gunicorn and Gevent(For Making Asynchronous calls):

gunicorn --worker-class gevent --workers 1 --bind 0.0.0.0:5000 livefeed:app

In Windows:

python3 livefeed.py

Port Forwarding

In Ubuntu:

I have used ngrok http tunnel. For that, Download the ngrok from its website, the steps are pretty forward and is provided in thier website itself. After the procedure is completed open the path where ngrok is extracted and run

./ngrok http http://127.0.0.1:8000/ --bind-tls true

Just replace the local host port address by your port address

In Windows

Install flask-ngrok

pip install flask-ngrok

And add this before app.run() in the code

from flask_ngrok import run_with_ngrok
run_with_ngrok(app)
