Livestreaming from Theta S connected to Raspberry PI 3 B

, ,

Hello,

I need some guidance with this.
My main goal is to connect the Theta S to a Raspberry PI and stream video to an Android App (made by myself).

I already mounted two different streaming servers in the RPI,

  1. mjpg-streamer : Almost zero delay, but streams in dual fisheye mode
  2. ffserver: Streams in equirectangular stitching using a remap filter of ffmpeg. But the delay is about 40 seconds.

I know that there is a UVC Blender for Windows which is pretty decent when the Theta S is connected through USB, so my question is this

Can I, from Windows, receive the video streaming from the RPI in dual fisheye mode and stitching it somehow and re-stream it again to my Android App?

I would really appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction here. Maybe someone thinks that there is better option than put a Windows in the middle, I’d glad to hear it.

I don’t really care about video quality loss (at least at this point) if it works.

Two more articles on spherical mapping.

Hi Codetricity,
Thanks for answer.

Something that I forgot to explain, my RPI won’t have internet access.
I had came across that github project, but I discarded it because it uses internet to access to the Cloud API… Am I right?

Do you know if that project could work totally offline?

I think this one only uses local access.
