Amazon KinesisVideoStreams Linux Nvidia Jetson

1. In this project first we will setup Amazon Kinesis Video Streams on a Linux system, for following architectures:-

1. x86_64(64 bit arch, ex:- Ubuntu)
2. ARM (Advanced RISC Machines, ex:- Jetson Nano/Orin Nano, Raspberry Pi)

2. Setup Guide can be found here Kinesis Setup. Following is covered in the documentation:-

1. Setting up KVS using CPP producer.
2. Commands for streaming video with voice in realtine from camera a local machine to remote Kinesis server on AWS.

3. Setting up python environment :-

Setting up and activating conda virtual environment:-

conda create --prefix ./envs python=3.x
conda activate ./envs

Setting up and activating python virtual environment using virtualenv:-

sudo apt install python3-virtualenv
virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3.x <env_name>
source <env_name>/bin/activate

Setting up and activating environment using venv:-

python3.x -m venv <env_name>
source <env_name>/bin/activate

Installing requirements:-

pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Streaming & Consuming Realtime feed from AWS to any remote machine using a python client.

1. Once the kinesis has be successfully setup run the following to start the live streaming from a local system:-

• Setup the necessary configuration in file called "config.json"

python kinesis_producer.py

Note:- The streaming can be stopped by simply pressing "Enter" key.

2. Run the following to get the live streaming url for consuming the feed from Kinesis:-

• Setup the necessary configuration in file called ".env"

python get_hls_endpoint.py

• The live feed can then be consumer and be viewed/played using the follwing command once the streaming url has been generated by running the above script:-

ffplay -i <live_streaming_url_generated>
