HLS streaming from node

Provided that you already have a file or stream segmenter generating your .m3u8 playlist and .ts segment files (such as the ffmpeg 'hls' muxer), this little node server will serve up those files to an HLS compatible client (e.g. Safari). If you're using node for your streaming app already, this obviates the need to serve the HLS stream from a separate web server.

Usage & Database Schema

node index.js --createSchema : Create the database schema. (The default SQL client is sqlite3. The schema is created by db_schema.js )

	// Live video stream management for HTML5 video. Uses FFMPEG to connect to H.264 camera stream,
	// Camera stream is remuxed to a MP4 stream for HTML5 video compatibility and segments are recorded for later playback
	var liveStream = function (req, resp) { // handle each client request by instantiating a new FFMPEG instance
	// For live streaming, create a fragmented MP4 file with empty moov (no seeking possible).

	var reqUrl = url.parse(req.url, true)
	var cameraName = typeof reqUrl.pathname === "string" ? reqUrl.pathname.substring(1) : undefined;
	if (cameraName) {
	try {
	cameraName = decodeURIComponent(cameraName);
