Stream the layer as video, and reach the successor repository - #110

Conversation
A player pulls the layer as video from the device itself, reaching a viewer far sooner than HLS because there are no segments to buffer. Point VLC or ffplay at the url the card shows. The desktop encodes through ffmpeg and the ESP32-P4 through its hardware encoder, both sharing one encode with HLS. KPI: 16384lights | Desktop:1944KB | src:274(69930) | test:209(45638) | lizard:273w. flash.desktop +20128, flash.esp32p4rev1-eth +8128, flash.esp32p4rev1-eth-wifi +47264, tests.cases 2071 → 2096. **Core** - H264Bitstream: where an Annex B frame begins, domain-neutral because the light domain's packetiser and the platform's encoder reader ask it of the same bytes. An access unit starts at the parameter sets that describe it, never at the slice, so a decoder receives an IDR together with the SPS and PPS it needs. - platform: rtspTakeFrame/rtspReleaseFrame, a take-and-release pair matching hlsSegment's, and TcpConnection::peerIPv4, since RTP must reach the address the viewer connected from. **Light domain** - RtspDriver, RtspSession (RFC 2326) and RtpH264 (RFC 6184, FU-A fragmentation). The newest connection takes the session over: a player that vanishes without TEARDOWN leaves a socket open and silent, and waiting on TCP to notice would strand the stream for minutes. **Platform** - Desktop: ffmpeg emits the elementary stream to a pipe, and a reader thread cuts it into whole access units. Its stop path wakes that reader through its own pipe, since a signalled child holds the write end until it is reaped and waiting for EOF deadlocked the render thread. - P4: the encoder copies each frame for the reader instead of lending nal_ by pointer. The render thread packetises long after taking one, so sharing the buffer spliced two frames into one bitstream, which a decoder reported as a nonexistent SPS. **UI** - An rtsp:// url renders as a link, the host filled in from the address the page was loaded from. **Scripts/MoonDeck** - run_scenario's staleness guard skips src/platform/esp32, which the desktop runner never compiles: editing one wedged the gate with a rebuild instruction that could not clear it. **Tests** - 25 cases over the bitstream reader, the packetiser and the session. The reader's were verified against real ffmpeg output and a sabotage control. **Docs/CI** - The RTSP card and its details, including how to play the stream in ffplay and VLC and how to scale it up for a monitor. - docgen: 3131 → 3123 warnings, 0 errors, by moving four over-long explanations in the P4 encoder into its appendix. - CLAUDE.md: a touched file with warnings now gets all of them resolved, so it leaves the list. - Backlogged: the HUB75 final-column darkness, whose cause is the encoder's single latch-blanking word against the reference library's default of two.

Inline comments:
In `@docs/moonmodules/light/drivers.md`:
- Line 346: Remove the TCP RTP fallback guidance from the RTSP transport
documentation, including the `-rtsp_transport tcp` recommendation; document only
the currently supported UDP RTP behavior and do not add interleaved TCP
implementation work.
- Line 335: Update the prose describing LED grid scaling to use the American
spelling “nearest-neighbor” instead of “nearest-neighbour.”
- Line 210: Split the prose into clearer sentences at all three affected
locations: in docs/moonmodules/light/drivers.md lines 210-210, separate the RTSP
latency statement from the Preview comparison; at lines 344-344, separate
session-takeover behavior from its TCP rationale; and at lines 348-348, separate
render-rate behavior from the diagnostic guidance.
- Line 210: Update the H.264 over RTSP description to remove the unmeasured
“five times sooner” claim and use a qualitative lower-latency comparison with
HLS, while preserving the existing guidance about VLC, ffplay, and Preview.
In `@docs/work/present/Plan-20260922` - RTSP video out on the P4.md:
- Line 1: Delete the completed plan document; do not retain the plan file in the
present-work documentation directory.
In `@src/light/drivers/RtspDriver.h`:
- Line 220: Update the frame-building logic around the n calculation to
explicitly black-fill all light blocks beyond n through the source geometry
before encoderWrite, while preserving the existing processing for available
sourceBuffer_ data.
- Line 109: Update the socket startup failure paths in the RtspDriver flow
around encoderStart and control_.open to call release() before returning,
ensuring the active encoder task is stopped when either startup attempt fails.
- Around line 176-183: Update the request-reading logic around client_.read and
mm::rtsp::parseRequest to accumulate partial RTSP data across TCP reads instead
of discarding parse failures. Parse only when a complete request is available,
retain any surplus bytes after the parsed request for the next request, and
preserve the existing disconnect and no-data handling.
- Around line 65-126: Coordinate shared encoder ownership between the HLS and
RTSP driver lifecycle methods, including prepare() and release(), so
simultaneous activation cannot replace or stop an encoder still used by the
other driver. Either implement shared reference/configuration ownership around
platform::encoderStart() and encoderStop(), or reject the second driver before
starting; ensure the remaining driver never writes to stopped or differently
configured encoder state.
In `@src/light/util/RtpH264.h`:
- Line 63: Update the input-size guard in the writeAccessUnit path to require at
least kHeaderBytes + 3 bytes of scratch space, ensuring one byte remains for
FU-A payload data and preventing the loop from stalling with take equal to zero.
In `@src/light/util/RtspSession.h`:
- Line 63: Update the RTSP numeric parsing around the client_port handling and
cseq assignment to use a bounded decimal parser limited to the supplied buffer
length, avoiding strtoul and any out-of-bounds strncmp reads. Require enough
remaining bytes before matching client_port=, reject numeric overflow, and
accept only port values in the range 1 through 65534.
In `@src/platform/desktop/platform_desktop.cpp`:
- Line 2909: Move the esFps_ assignment in the encoder restart flow to after
stopEncoderProcess() returns, ensuring the existing esReader_ has stopped before
publishAccessUnits can observe the new FPS. Preserve the current fallback value
of 30.
- Around line 2955-2958: Update rtspTakeFrame and its publishAccessUnits handoff
to use preallocated frame slots with a nonblocking synchronization mechanism,
eliminating the blocking esMutex_ lock and allocating taken = esFrame_ copy on
the render path. Return false when no completed frame is available, and preserve
the existing frame-sequence handoff semantics while ensuring the path satisfies
MM_NONBLOCKING transitively.
In `@src/platform/esp32/platform_esp32_h264.cpp`:
- Around line 460-461: Update the frame-copy state used by rtspTakeFrame so PTS
and keyframe metadata are stored alongside take_ and takeSeq_ while holding
mutex_. Return these copy-specific fields instead of reading lastFramePts_ and
lastFrameKey_, ensuring frame A bytes retain frame A metadata when a later
encode updates shared state.
In `@test/unit/light/unit_RtpH264.cpp`:
- Line 130: Remove the Vale-warning word “simply” from the comment at
test/unit/light/unit_RtpH264.cpp lines 130-130, and remove “actually” from the

Set esFps_ after the previous reader stops.
A restart with a different FPS writes esFps_ before line 2916 stops and joins the existing esReader_. The reader can concurrently read esFps_ in publishAccessUnits. This is a C++ data race and can assign old frames timestamps from the new encoder configuration.
Move the assignment to after stopEncoderProcess() returns.

Remove blocking and allocation from rtspTakeFrame.
esMutex_ can block while publishAccessUnits copies a frame. taken = esFrame_ can allocate when an access unit exceeds the current capacity. Scheduled RTSP transmission runs on the render path, so either operation can delay rendering.
Use preallocated frame slots and a nonblocking handoff. Return false when no completed frame is available.
As per path instructions, render-path code must not allocate or block and is checked transitively through MM_NONBLOCKING.

Source: Path instructions
A device updates itself across the coming rename: it asks the new repository first and today's second, so an in-field update survives the move without depending on a redirect. An image that is not this project is refused before a byte reaches flash. Video output gains a Windows path, and the two video drivers stop silently reconfiguring each other. KPI: 16384lights | Desktop:1944KB | src:274(70157) | test:209(45665) | lizard:275w. flash.desktop +20624, flash.esp32p4rev1-eth +9664, tests.cases 2071 → 2097. **Core** - The update URL names two repositories and takes whichever answers. The successor comes first deliberately: once it exists every device reaches it directly, and the redirect stops mattering rather than being depended on forever. Before it exists that request costs one 404, since the predecessor occupying the name publishes no firmware asset. - The OTA compares an incoming image's own ESP-IDF descriptor against this project's name, so an address answering with a stranger's release is refused rather than flashed. - The Home Assistant release link is retained on the broker and outlives a reflash, so it names where releases will live. **Light domain** - One encoder, one claimant. Both video drivers called encoderStart, and the second silently replaced the first's geometry and bitrate while it kept streaming. A claim makes the conflict visible, the way a driver already reports a port another module holds. A destructor releases it, since a claim outliving its owner refuses every later driver. **Platform** - Windows: ffmpeg's arguments are quoted only where they need it, since a bare `-` names stdout and a quoted one is a literal the child rejects. The reader is woken with CancelIoEx rather than by closing the handle it blocks on, and takes its handle by value so the stop path cannot clear it underneath. - The P4's encoder copies each frame's timestamp and frame type beside its bytes, so a frame shipped while the next encodes keeps its own metadata. **Tests** - The encoder claim is pinned, including that a non-holder cannot release another module's claim. **Docs/CI** - docgen: 3123 → 3090 warnings, 0 errors. platform_esp32_ota.cpp (24) and platform_esp32_h264.cpp (9) leave the warning list entirely, their reasoning moved into each file's appendix rather than trimmed. - The five MoonLight files become one plan covering v5.0.0, the rename, and the cutover schedule. Shipped and cancelled plans move to past/plans. - Release notes for v5.0.0, and a note that MIGRATING's Unreleased heading becomes v5.0.0 at the tag. - Backlogged: MIDI as a control surface and as effect input, and what a live band's instruments would cost. - run_scenario's staleness guard skips src/platform/esp32, which the desktop runner never compiles. **Reviews** - 🐇 CodeRabbit, 12 findings. Fixed: an FU-A guard that let a 14-byte buffer loop forever; the P4 shipping frame A's bytes with frame B's timestamp; an unbounded RTSP header scan that read past the buffer; partial and pipelined TCP requests being dropped; two startup paths leaving an encoder running; lights past the source buffer keeping stale pixels; four documentation findings. Deferred: sharing one encode between both drivers, filed by name with the questions a refcount alone cannot answer. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Do not state that HLS and RTSP run together.
encoderClaim() refuses the second video driver. A device cannot currently serve both streams from one encode. State that HLS and RTSP are mutually exclusive until shared encoder output is implemented.

Reject decimal overflow before the calculation.
Line 50 can wrap before Line 51 checks limit. For example, CSeq: 42949672960 wraps to zero and is accepted. Check the next digit against the limit before multiply-and-add.

Require a unicast UDP Transport alternative.
parseRequest scans the complete request independently for RTP/AVP and client_port=. It can combine values from different comma-separated alternatives. It also treats RTP/AVP;multicast;client_port=... as usable unicast transport. Session::respond then returns 200 OK, and the driver starts streaming to the parsed port.
Parse each Transport alternative and require RTP/AVP with effective UDP transport, an explicit unicast parameter, and a valid client_port from that same alternative.

Serialize ESP32 encoder ownership across lifecycle tasks.
On ESP32, HTTP module CRUD runs on the web-server task. handleAddModule() calls applyState() directly, and module deletion calls mod->release() directly. HlsDriver and RtspDriver claim the encoder during preparation, so these calls can overlap with render-task claims.
encoderClaim() uses an unsynchronized check-then-set. Both claims can therefore succeed. encoderRelease() clears the owner before encoderStop() returns, so a new claim can start the encoder while the previous release is still stopping it.
Use a platform-appropriate atomic ownership state or route these lifecycle operations through the render task. Keep the owner reserved until encoderStop() returns, and make claims fail while stopping. Do not add a blocking mutex to the desktop render path, whose lifecycle calls are already serialized there.

Process the pre-merge and external reviews. An RTSP client that offers several transports in one header gets the one it asked for rather than a combination assembled from two, and a stream that ends without shipping its last frame no longer leaves the encoder unable to fill another. KPI: 16384lights | Desktop:1944KB | src:274(70210) | test:209(45704) | lizard:276w. flash.desktop +560, flash.esp32p4rev1-eth +2560, tests.cases 2096 → 2099. **Light domain** - A Transport header's alternatives are parsed one at a time, each judged on its own parameters. Scanning the whole header for a protocol and separately for a port accepted `RTP/AVP/TCP;interleaved=0-1,RTP/AVP;multicast;client_port=6000` as unicast UDP on 6000, which is neither thing the client offered. Multicast is now refused rather than unnoticed. - The decimal parser tests a digit before multiplying, since `v * 10 + d` wraps past the type's range and lands back under the limit, so a long enough number read as a small one. **Platform** - The P4's busy flag is cleared with the buffer it guards. A reader whose driver was destroyed between taking a frame and shipping it left the flag set, and every later encode then found the buffer occupied, so RTSP streamed silence with nothing reporting why. - A failed wake pipe skips the reader rather than starting one the stop path cannot reach, where the join would have held the render thread forever. The reader takes that descriptor by value, as it already took the encoder's. - The upload OTA path asks whose firmware arrived, the same question the URL path asks, before the first write rather than after the slot is spent. - The Home Assistant card's title follows the project name rather than repeating it. **Tests** - Six cases over the transport alternatives and the overflow, including that a usable alternative after an unusable one is taken with its own port. **Docs** - The RTSP card and the driver said the two video drivers share one encode. They cannot: there is one encoder and whichever starts second is refused, which is what the code does and now what the docs say. - The unmeasured latency factor is gone from the card, the driver and the plan. Nothing claims one until the glass-to-glass measurement exists. **Reviews** - 👾 Reviewer, 8 findings. Fixed: the busy flag outliving its buffer, and the wake pipe's failure path. Skipped: the claim's lack of synchronisation, since both callers claim from prepare() on the render thread, with the reason recorded where the claim lives. - 🐇 CodeRabbit, 7 findings. Fixed: the transport alternatives, the parser overflow, the upload path's project check, and three documentation claims. Skipped: making the claim atomic, for the reason above.

Three commits: RTSP video output, an update path that survives the coming rename, and the reviews that followed.
Video out over RTSP
A player pulls the layer as H.264 from the device itself, with no segments to buffer first. Point VLC or
ffplayat the url the card shows. The ESP32-P4 encodes in hardware and the desktop through ffmpeg, so this works on both.RTSP is the control conversation (RFC 2326) and RTP carries the video (RFC 6184, FU-A fragmentation). Three new headers hold it:
RtspSessionanswers the five verbs,RtpH264packetises an access unit into datagrams, andRtspDriveris the module. The bitstream reader that says where a frame begins lives in domain-neutral core, because the light domain's packetiser and the platform's encoder reader ask that question of the same bytes.One encoder, one driver. HLS and RTSP both drive the single encoder, and the second
encoderStartused to silently reconfigure the first driver's stream. The encoder is now claimed, and whichever starts second reports that it is in use, the way a driver already reports a port another module holds. Sharing one encode between both readers is the better end state and is backlogged by name: it needs the two drivers to agree on geometry, rate and bitrate, which nothing makes them do today.The newest viewer wins. A player that vanishes without
TEARDOWNleaves a socket open and silent, since TCP reports a peer's absence only to a write it stops acknowledging, so a new connection takes the session rather than being refused.An update path that survives the rename
projectMM becomes MoonLight, and a device flashed today asks its old repository for updates forever. The update URL now names both, successor first: once the new repository exists every device reaches it directly, and GitHub's rename redirect stops being load-bearing rather than being depended on indefinitely. Before it exists that request costs one 404, since the predecessor occupying the name publishes no
firmware-*asset.Fetching another project's firmware is prevented separately, on both OTA paths: the incoming image's own ESP-IDF descriptor is compared against this project's name before a byte reaches flash.
What hardware and review testing found
Bugs fixed here that only a real player or an adversarial read surfaced:
RTP/AVP/TCP;interleaved=0-1,RTP/AVP;multicast;client_port=6000read as unicast UDP on 6000. Each alternative is now judged whole, and multicast is refused.Windows
Compiled but never tested, since the only Windows CI runner packages without running a test. Fixed by reading: arguments are quoted only where they need it (a bare
-names stdout and a quoted one is a literal ffmpeg rejects), and the reader is woken withCancelIoExrather than by closing the handle it blocks on. A Windows test day is scheduled before the rename.Also here
platform_esp32_ota.cppandplatform_esp32_h264.cppleave the warning list entirely, their reasoning moved into each file's appendix rather than trimmed.past/plans.Unreleasedheading becomesv5.0.0at the tag.Outstanding
The plan's step 3, the glass-to-glass measurement against HLS, is not done, so no latency factor is claimed anywhere. The plan file stays in
