This project is a modification of libdash library of Bitmobin.(https://github.com/bitmovin/libdash). Using this you can download into mat frame from any MPEG-DASH file (.mpd) from http server.
- Download the tarball or clone the repository from github (git://github.com/bitmovin/libdash.git)
- Open the libdash.sln with Visual Studio 2010
- Build the solution
- After that all files will be provided in the bin folder
- You can test the library with the sampleplayer.exe. This application simply downloads the lowest representation of one of our dataset MPDs.
- sudo apt-get install git-core build-essential cmake libxml2-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev
- git clone git://github.com/bitmovin/libdash.git
- cd libdash/libdash
- mkdir build
- cd build
- cmake ../
- make
- cd bin
- The library and a simple test of the network part of the library should be available now. You can test the network part of the library with
- ./libdash_networkpart_test
Prerequisite: libdash must be built as described in the previous section.Also opencv is required.
- sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-sdk-team/ppa
- sudo apt-get update
- sudo apt-get install libav-tools libavcodec-dev libavdevice-dev libavfilter-dev libavformat-dev libavutil-dev libpostproc-dev libswscale-dev
- cd libdash/libdash/MpegDownloader
- mkdir build
- cd build
- wget http://www.cmake.org/files/v2.8/cmake-2.8.12-Linux-i386.sh
- chmod a+x cmake-2.8.12-Linux-i386.sh
- ./cmake-2.8.12-Linux-i386.sh
