Video Record and Playback

Ignition
1

I’m wondering if there’s a better way now or planned in the near future to record and playback video streams directly in Ignition. What I’ve come up with requires 3rd party software (VLC). To record I launch the app to record a http stream and send it to a file. To playback I have it read a file and stream it then point the IP Camera Viewer component to that stream. It’s a little cluncky and requires keeping track of the VLC’s PID so I can kill it when done which seems a little like stopping ones car by running it into something.

You can try this module based on vlcj:

It’s a bit tricky.

Well it can’t be any trickier than what I did (also based on vlc). It looks like your solution still requires something to be loaded on clients. I’ll give it a try and let you know how it works out for me.
