Streaming audio over serial using arduino - audio

I read this link, its an updated code on Michael Smith's "speaker_pcm"
http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=8817.0
it speaks about an application that streams audio over serial port,
the programmer did the receiving part saying this:
The program on the remote host which supplies the audio data is very simple to write and could easily be done in most any programming language.
Any Ideas on how to make this simple remote host?
Thanks in advance,

Play video from one device to another

I’m looking to essentially use two devices: raspberry pi 3 and Mac 10.15. I am using the pi to capture video from my web cam and I want to use my Mac to kind of extend to the pi so when I use cv2.videocapture I can capture that same video in preferably real-time or something close. I’m programming this using python on bout devices. I thought of putting it on a local server and retrieving it but I have no idea how I could use that with opencv. If someone could provide and explain a useful example, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
To transfer a video stream, you could use instead of a custom solution a RTMP server on the source machine feeding it with the cam source and the target opens the stream and processes it.
A similar approach to mine is widely implemented into IP cameras: They run a RTMP server to make the stream available for phones and PC.

Getting data from audio mixer

I am trying to build an open-source in-ear monitoring system. I have created the UI and was wondering how I would get the channels that are on an audio mixing console so that I can edit the channels and stream them to each musician. Is there a certain protocol that all the mixers use? You can find the project at https://gitlab.com/openstagemix. We would love to have contributors.
I can't really test whether this is the correct answer as I am trapped in my house during the coronavirus time. But, all mixers use something called OSC which is a protocol between mixers, synthesizers, etc. to computers. You can find more information here http://opensoundcontrol.org/introduction-osc.
Update:
It's neither! I am going to use the AES67 standard to receive information from my mixer and with that process the audio. This is because my mixer is ethernet capable.

dev/ttyO0 used in AR Drone 2.0 - Reverse Enginnering

I read an interesting article about coding for the AR Drone 2.0 from Parrot. In this code they us nodeJS to talk to the drone. Therefore the code starts out with creating a Stream to /dev/ttyO0
I am starting out to learn more about the background of linux functionalities and would like to know:
How do you initially find out that the dev/ttyO0 is being used, for example on the drone which runs on linux. It is kind of reverse engineering I think, but what tools or commands are being used therefore?
When I want to reverse engineer a system like the drone, and find out which commands are being sent, is there something like a "sniffer" to find out what commands are being sent?
I know this is not a short and easy answer, but I would be happy to learn more about that or find out, where to learn about that. But initially the question about finding the right device would be very interesting.
Thank you
I don't know the answer to the first part of your question, but I can address the second part.
Yes, the AR.Drone uses TCP and UDP for all communications between the drone and the controller app, including commands, telemetry and video. You can use a standard network sniffer, like tcpdump or Wireshark. When you connect to the drone, its default IP address is 192.168.1.1. Configure the sniffer to capture all traffic to and from that address. Here are some highlights of what you can see:
Command/"AT" comms, UDP on port 5556: This port is used to send commands to the drone. Commands are in ASCII, and look like AT*..., for example AT*REF=7,256 or AT*PCMD=7,1,-1110651699,0,0,1050253722. Section 6 of the AR.Drone Developer Guide describes most (but not all) of the commands.
Navdata, UDP on port 5554: This is binary encoded data sent from the drone containing sensor data and information about the state of the drone. It includes things like air pressure, altitude estimate, position estimate, flying mode, and GPS (if your drone is equipped with one). Since you mentioned Javascript, the file parseNavdata.js in the node-ar-drone library contains code to parse navdata.
Video, TCP on port 5555: This is realtime video from the drone in an almost-but-not-quite H264 format known as PaVE. The format is documented in section 7.3 of the Developer Guide, and most libraries for talking to AR.Drones can parse the format.
Another thing you may notice:
FTP: The official controller app uses standard FTP to send an ephemeris file to the drone that contains info that helps GPS get a faster lock.

How to stream video to remote server and then to others

Im completely new on video streaming, but i need to develop a software that allows me to stream 1 or multiple ip cameras from a local machine, to a remote one (both linux), and allow other people to watch it through a java app.
Have any idea from where to start?
Thanks a lot.

How to program an audio/video application on network?

I want to make (for fun, challenge) a videoconference application, I have some ideas about this:
1) taking the audio/video streams (I don't know what an audio/video stream is)
2) pass this to a server that lets communicate the clients. I can figure out how to write a server(there are a lot of books and documentation about this) but I really don't know how to interact with the webcam and with the audio/video in general.
I want some links, book, suggestions about the basics of digital audio/video expecially on programming. Please help me!!!
I want to make it run on a Linux platform.
Linux makes video grabbing really nice. As long as you have a driver that outputs the video stream to the /dev/video/v* channels. All you have to do is open up a control connection to the device [an exercise for the OP] and then read in the channel like a file [given the parameters set by the control connection. Audio should be the same way, but don't quote me on it.
BTW: Video streaming from a server is a very complex issue. You have to develop or use an existing protocol. You have to be very aware of networking delays, and adjust the information sent (resize or recompress) to the client based on the link size between the client and the server.
