  Running the client and server on the local machine

vidCrypt

This project aims to securely livestream webcam using AES-128 over network and also steam videos on demand over network.

For running the project:

Dependencies:

1. OpenCV
2. Numpy
3. Pycryptodome
4. Flask
5. ffmpeg Install the dependencies using pip.

Running the Webcam livstream:

1. Run python server.py on terminal
2. Run python client.py on another terminal
3. Now open http://127.0.0.1:5000/ in browser to watch the webcam livestream

Running the video on demand:

1. Create a folder outputs and run

ffmpeg -i input_video_to stream.mp4 -c copy -map 0 -segment_time 8 -f segment -reset_timestamps 1 outputs/output%03d.mp4

This will split the original video into chunks in the outputs folder. These chunks will be streamed over the network.

1. Now, run python server.py on terminal. to start the server.

2. Run python client.py on another terminal to start the client.

3. Now open http://127.0.0.1:5000/ in browser to watch the stream.

Edit the Webcam livestream parameters

For switching the network speed, change the "download" variable in the server.py file on line 20. And, for making it perform automatically change the "test" variable's value as True.

This streaming is now working correctly. Only the first chunk gets played.

Note: Currently the livestream is working but the video on demand needs work.

Please help to make it working. Raise issues and make pull requests.
