Streamnik Server Description

Streamnik Server project is an IPTV server based on the open codecs Ogg/Vorbis and Ogg/Theora. Streamnik Server project is an IPTV server based on the open codecs Ogg/Vorbis and Ogg/Theora. It can stream a number of different channels and is optimized to run on leased (virtual) servers. The program schedule is defined by an SQL database table and can be changed at runtime.Requirements:· Common C++ with devel· Mysql (mysqlclient)Installation:To compile, everything works as usual:./configuremakesudo make installWhat you need to start the server:shorties: short films for error handlingpreviews: short preview films (e.g. ads - this stream is presented by ...)videos: videos to show upall videos, shorties and prieviews must match in framerate,keyframe-distance etc.shorties and previews are actually cached with a key name and are compiledin (next version might use a database entry for that)Startup:just start the server:> StreamnikServer -d -u -p and access the server e.g. by mplayer:> mplayer "http://localhost:12000/video.ogg?channel=1"However, befor all of that, you need to set up a number of additional things:DATABASE:You need a sql-database up and running. Statements are shown at the end of this document.The database name and password can be added on the command line.FILES:You need the following file structure (can be changed in serverConfig.h):home > shared > ogg > shortyThe ogg directory carries all files, that should be streamed. Every file has a corresponding entry in the sql database ("videos" table).The shorties are small ogg files which are shown on an error. shorty_1.ogg -> no stream availableshorty_2.ogg -> unauthorized accessshorty_3.ogg -> streaming timeoutshorty_4.ogg -> database not availableThen you can add previews (short films befor the original stream, e.g. for adds)This file must be placed in the shorty directory as well and are named preview_*.ogg.The system will not be happy if they are not present, but will start upCHANNELS:Channels are opened by an entry in the sql database. This entry must actually be present on startup.For every channel, a StreamCreator object will be created, which will send it's data to a multiplexer. This will then handle all client requests. TcpListener (Port 12000) StreamSend ( Client 1 ) | | / file -> StreamCreator -> Multiplexer ---> StreamSend ( Client 2 ) Stream 1 | | --> StreamSend ( Client 3 ) | sql Database Access | ^ | --> StreamSend ( Client 4 ) | | / file -> StreamCreator -> Multiplexer ---> StreamSend ( Client 5 ) Stream 2 | | | sql Database Access | ^ | ---> StreamSend ( Client 6 ) | | / file -> StreamCreator -> Multiplexer ----> StreamSend ( Client 7 ) Stream 3 --> StreamSend ( Client 8 ) --> StreamSend ( Client 9 ) ...SCHEDULE:The schedule is placed into the "schedule" table in the database. ("day_id" and "date" are actually not in use)channel_id and video_id correspond to the entries in the other tables.every film has a position (in a day). A day starts at 4:00. The first entry within one block of films should be marked with status "1".If you have a film, which is not continously connected, you should addthe "1" status again.******************************************************** SQL database creation*******************************************************CREATE TABLE `schedule` ( `day_id` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL default '0', `date` varchar(8) NOT NULL default '', `channel_id` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL default '0', `position` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0', `video_id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0', `duration` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0', `status` tinyint(3) unsigned NOT NULL default '0')CREATE TABLE `videos` ( `id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment, `owner` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0', `title` varchar(80) NOT NULL default '', `subtitle` varchar(80) NOT NULL default '', `author` varchar(80) NOT NULL default '', `copyright` varchar(160) NOT NULL default '', `description` varchar(255) NOT NULL default '', `time_added` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0', `duration` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0', `ready` tinyint(1) NOT NULL default '0', PRIMARY KEY (`id`))CREATE TABLE `channels` ( `id` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL default '0', `name` varchar(80) NOT NULL default '', `owner` int(11) NOT NULL default '0', `description` varchar(80) NOT NULL default '', `randomplay` tinyint(1) NOT NULL default '0', PRIMARY KEY (`id`))What's New in This Release:· This release provides a lot of new documentation for setting up the server.· There is now a script available which will compile, install, and setup the streamnik server in one step.· The configuration can now be done by a configuration file, which is placed at /etc/streamnik.conf.· Additionally, there are some minor bugfixes, such as fixes for compiling under different Linux distributions.
