How to stop the stream

[OttoKlaasen]

Dear Sir,

regarding this coder, once the stream is started, how to you close the stream via software ?

void startCameraServer(){
httpd_config_t config = HTTPD_DEFAULT_CONFIG();
config.server_port = 80;
httpd_uri_t index_uri = {
.uri = "/",
.method = HTTP_GET,
.handler = stream_handler,
.user_ctx = NULL
};
//Serial.printf("Starting web server on port: '%d'\n", config.server_port);
if (httpd_start(&stream_httpd, &config) == ESP_OK) {
httpd_register_uri_handler(stream_httpd, &index_uri);
}
}

Of course i can set the ESP32 in deep sleep which stops the stream, but i am looking for a software method.

Maybe you have some suggestion.

Kind regards
Otto Klaasen

p.s

I change the code like this but when using first call with true and second call with false is does not stop the stream but start a second stream which error out:

bool startCameraServer(bool StartStream){
httpd_config_t config = HTTPD_DEFAULT_CONFIG();
// If startstream is true the stram will work
if (StartStream){
config.server_port = 80;
}
else {
config.server_port = -1;
}

httpd_uri_t index_uri = {
.uri = "/",
.method = _HTTP_GET,
// .method = HTTP_GET, // Original code
.handler = stream_handler,
.user_ctx = NULL
};

//Serial.printf("Starting web server on port: '%d'\n", config.server_port);
if (httpd_start(&stream_httpd, &config) == ESP_OK) {
httpd_register_uri_handler(stream_httpd, &index_uri);
Serial.println("Video Stream started.");
}
else {
Serial.println("Video Stream NOT started.");
}
Serial.print("Stream port: ");Serial.println(config.server_port);

return StartStream;

}

Hello,
While searching the web, I see this message.
I am interested in your question, OttoKlaasen.
Did you have information to stop the video stream by coding (keeping the display of the last image)?
If anyone sees this message, please direct me to an early solution ...

Could be this " https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/esp32/api-reference/protocols/esp_http_server.html#_CPPv410httpd_stop14httpd_handle_t " what you are looking for?

Hello,
The video is streamed server-side by the stream_handler() function in 'app_httpd.cpp'.
Replacing the while(TRUE) loop with a while (isStreaming) lets you abort streaming by setting isStreaming to FALSE.

FYI I have implemented a timeout feature in stream_handler() to specify the duration of streaming (eg to save battery)
e.g. /stream?timeout=5000 will stop streaming after 5 seconds.
