Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Standalone server to re-encode live media streams into other output formats

Readme

Restreamer server module for node.js

Restreamer creates stand-alone servers for re-encoding live network audio streams on the fly. A single server instance allow any number of audio streams. It may work with video, but I haven't tried thoroughly.

Requirements

  • An *NIX box with ffmpeg.

Installation

npm install restreamer

(fluent-ffmpeg node module will be installed as dependency)

Usage

Start the server with default parameters

var rs = require('restreamer');
// Start server with default port (17856), converting to the Ogg format.
restreamer.create().listen();

At this point,

http://[your-domain]:17856/?url=[your live media URL]

will convert whichever input format the input media is, to the free Ogg format. The resulting above URL can be used as a media stream just like that.

Keep in mind that you're specifying an URL inside an URL (doh!). Encode the media URL to avoid special characters issues.

Options

A few options are available. Defaults are: listen to the 17856 port, convert to Ogg, do not allow overriding the output format.

// Listen on the 5566 port, convert input to the ac3 format
restreamer.create({port: 5566, format: "ac3").listen();

// Listen on the 5566 port, allow overriding the output format on the URL
restreamer.create({port: 5566, override: true}).listen();

// Specify the port on the listen method.
restreamer.create().listen(5566);

If you choose to allow overriding the output format, your can specify the desired one in the URL, e.g.:

http://[your-domain]:17856/?url=[your live media URL]&format=ac3

will use AC3 as the output format for the given media stream. If overriding is not allowed, the requested format will be ignored and the default one will be used instead.

Formats

Input and output formats availability are limited exclusively by your ffmpeg installation. Run ''ffmpeg -formats'' to know which ones are available in your system.
