Setting up an RMTP service for live streaming 360 videos from Insta360 X3
Create an RMTP service that I can stream LIVE the 360 videos from INSTA360 X3.

Creating a live RTMP streaming service for 360 videos from an Insta360 X3 requires several components. Here's a setup using Node.js with FFmpeg for processing and a simple RTMP server:

Note: For actual live streaming from the Insta360 X3 camera, you'll need additional software to capture the camera feed and pipe it to this RTMP server, as WebContainer can't directly interface with hardware devices. The camera's live feed would typically be accessed via USB or WiFi using Insta360's SDK or companion software.

Create a Web camera streaming player for web use. The web camera is installed with driver into Windows PC and can be used into browsers.

Here's a web-based camera streaming player that uses the browser's MediaDevices API to access the webcam:

This solution provides:

  1. Camera selection from multiple available devices
  2. Start/Stop streaming controls
  3. Photo capture functionality
  4. Responsive video display
  5. Basic error handling

The player uses the browser's built-in MediaDevices API to access the webcam, so no additional server components are needed for local use. The video streams directly in the browser with minimal latency.

it is not finding the web camera. Could not access the camera: Could not start video source

The issue is likely due to WebContainer's sandboxed environment not having direct access to your local hardware devices. Here's an alternative solution that assumes you'll run this on your local machine (not in WebContainer) and provides better error handling:

Key improvements:

  1. Better error handling with specific messages
  2. Fallback to more permissive constraints if ideal ones fail
  3. Camera disconnection detection
  4. Simplified UI focused on core functionality

Important notes:

  1. This must run on your local machine (not in WebContainer)
  2. You must serve it via HTTP (not file:// protocol)
  3. Your browser needs permission to access the camera
  4. Modern browsers require HTTPS for camera access on production sites

To test locally:

  1. Save both files to a folder
  2. Use a local HTTP server like Python's http.server module or VS Code's Live Server extension
  3. Open the page in Chrome/Firefox and allow camera access when prompted

Create a php and FFmpeg for processing and a simple RTMP server. I want to stream live my camera insta360 X3 using the 360 LIVE option for live streaming?

Here's a comprehensive solution for streaming Insta360 X3 with 360° live streaming using PHP, FFmpeg, and an RTMP server:

This solution provides:

  1. Dockerized RTMP server with Nginx-RTMP
  2. 360° video processing pipeline with FFmpeg
  3. Adaptive HLS streaming output
  4. PHP control script for managing the stream
  5. Automatic quality variants (360° and 180° versions)

Key features for Insta360 X3:

  • Proper 2:1 aspect ratio handling for 360° video
  • Low-latency streaming configuration
  • UDP input support for Insta360's live stream mode
  • Adaptive bitrate streaming for different network conditions

To use this:

  1. Set up your Insta360 X3 in live streaming mode (UDP)
  2. Update the UDP URL in stream.php
  3. Run the start_stream.sh script
  4. Connect to the HLS endpoints in your player (like VLC or web player)_
