       PIDVR-9: HTTP Egress

Issue Type: New Feature

Issue Information
====================

Priority: Major					Status:      Closed
Resolution:  Done (2014-11-08 14:53:37)
Project: PiDVR (PIDVR)


Reported By: btasker					
Assigned To: btasker




Labels: Egress, HTTP, 

Time Estimate: 0 minutes
Time Logged:   0 minutes

Issue Description
==================

When streaming, TVHeadEnd uses HTSP (Home Tv Streaming Protocol).

Once a programme has been recorded, the file is stored on Disk in Makostra format (MKV) so
it'd be helpful if a downstream storage appliance could simply fetch this via HTTP (the
automated behaviour of this will be looked at when building the API's).

So we need a lightweight HTTP server configured to serve the recordings directory (under a
specific hostname).

NGinx seems like the best bet


-- BEGIN SNIPPET --

root@testpi:/home/pi# apt-get install nginx
root@testpi:/home/pi# cd /etc/nginx/sites-available
root@testpi:/etc/nginx/sites-available# cp default recordings

# Edited recordings (see attached)

root@testpi:/etc/nginx/sites-available# ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/recordings
/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
root@testpi:/etc/nginx/sites-available# service nginx start
root@testpi:/etc/nginx/sites-available# wget -O - http://127.0.0.1/ --header="Host:
recordings.tvheadend"

 -- END SNIPPET --

Make sure _nginx_ is available at boot


-- BEGIN SNIPPET --

root@testpi:/etc/nginx/sites-available# update-rc.d nginx defaults

 -- END SNIPPET --
