A utility for converting Axel Glade Spade "smart" earwax cleaner video streams to MJPEG for general-purpose use.
NOTE: This tool has only been tested with the Spade Mini, but it should work for any product that uses libmlcamera-2.5.so or the Spade mobile app (com.molink.john.spade - Google Play/iOS) for video streaming in its client implementation.
- Power on the Spade device
- Connect to the Spade WiFi
- Start the stream mirror:
python3 spade_mirror.py --no-ssl
With the stream mirror running, you can view the live video in a number of ways:
- In a web browser; navigate to
http://127.0.0.1:45100 - In VLC (GUI); go to Media→Open Network Stream..., set the URL to
http://127.0.0.1:45100/stream, and then click Play - In VLC (command-line); run
vlc http://127.0.0.1:45100/stream - With ffmpeg; run
ffplay -i http://127.0.0.1:45100/stream
The video stream can also be transported over TLS for security. This document won't walk you through setting up your own PKI, but the following command will generate a key pair for encrypting traffic with TLS:
openssl req -new -newkey rsa:4096 -x509 -sha256 -days 365 -nodes -out cert.crt -keyout private.key
To start the stream mirror over HTTPS, specify the TLS key pair in the shell command:
python3 spade_mirror.py cert.crt private.key
The HTTPS stream will then be accessible at https://127.0.0.1:45100/stream.
If you find any bugs, please open a new GitHub issue.
