Stream video via socket in python

Project shows how you can interect with video and frames using cv2. See requirements below.

import os 
import socket
import sys
import cv2
import pickle
import numpy as np
import struct ## new
import base64 
import time

All main code is in send_img.py and server.py. I use cv2 and frame by frame convert to base64 format and send data.

Create byte array

encode_to_string(img, img_format='.jpg')

#Add some tail and push

pickle.dumps(tail)

Recieve data

while len(data) < payload_size:
			data += conn.recv(4096)
		packed_msg_size = data[:payload_size]
		data = data[payload_size:]
		msg_size = struct.unpack("L", packed_msg_size)[0]
		while len(data) < msg_size:
			data += conn.recv(4096)
		frame_data = data[:msg_size]
		data = data[msg_size:]

We are using it to create back our tail 😎.
