[ANSWERED] live capture setting - can I use video input URL?

Shahaf

Hello,

I'm trying to figure out a way to connect a wireless camera as my live capture source (like GoPro live stream option https://community.gopro.com/s/...) I was wondering if that is possible and how. can I use a URL as my video source? or is there another software that can help to contact a wireless wifi-based camera to Isadora

I'm trying to connect a small-size camera like a webcam/gorpo for live performance and it would be much easier to use a wireless camera as it is supposed to be attached to the performer.

Thank you for your help!

You could maybe use something like Vingester to get your web stream into Isadora via NDI or Syphon/Spout, or using the Screen Capture actor.

If you can get away with using a mobile phone, then the NDI HX camera works really well with Isadora's NDI 5 Watcher actor over Wifi*. Another iPhone app that works well with Isadora is EpocCam.

*Always wise to use your own dedicated Wifi network rather than relying on a venue's Wifi, or, even worse, public Wifi.

Due to the other supported services (YouTube, Twitch etc..) I expect that this streaming option uses RTMP, which is secured and won't be available to clients that are not part of the connection.

One possible method would be to setup your GoPro as a IP Cam ('security cam' seems to be the common search phrase) and then capture the feed via Python (I have an example of this I will dig up).
I haven't tried this but here is an article: Gopro Hero 3 Black Edition IP Camera - Instructables

@shahaf if you go down the python route go pro have a pretty good SDK that is well documented and has some examples for low latency streaming over wifi.

Here is the SDK: https://github.com/gopro/OpenG...
