xiaomi-360-1080p-video-stream

This a submodule of xiaomi-360-1080p-hacks. You may want to go there instead.

What is this?

C project to grab a video stream from the Xiaomi Mi 360 1080p camera using direct memory access. Output of the video stream goes to standard output, so you can pipe it wherever you want.

Current state

Still not very good. Much artifacts, such buggy, very 640x360. Wow.

Compiling

Cross compiling for armhf:

arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc video_direct_memory_access.c pipe.c -pthread -std=gnu99 -o video_direct_memory_access

Example

1. Download the video_direct_memory_access binary - or - compile as per instructions above
2. Copy video_direct_memory_access to the camera (e.g. using the SD Card)
3. Also copy a armhf build of FFMPEG to the camera (this might be useful: https://ffbinaries.com/downloads)
4. Access the camera through telnet (refer to this project)
5. Pipe the output to FFMPEG and stream it (you may see a lot of errors/warnings, ignore them and give it a second):

./video_direct_memory_access | ./ffmpeg -f hevc -i pipe:0 -c:v copy -f mpegts udp://<your_computer_ip>:12345

6. To play the video on your PC:

ffplay udp://<your_computer_ip>:12345
