node-mjpeg-proxy

A node.js module to proxy MJPEG requests. Supports multiple client consuming a single stream. Fixes an iOS 6 issue with some MJPEG steams.

$ npm install mjpeg-proxy

From source:

$ cd node-mjpeg-proxy
$ npm install

Example

Example Usage

var MjpegProxy = require('mjpeg-proxy').MjpegProxy;
var express = require('express');
var app = express();

app.get('/index1.jpg', new MjpegProxy('http://admin:admin@192.168.1.109/cgi/mjpg/mjpg.cgi').proxyRequest);
app.listen(8080);

Here, it will create a proxy to the source video feed (http://admin:admin@192.168.1.109/cgi/mjpg/mjpg.cgi). You can now access the feed at http://localhost:8080/index1.jpg.
