+# Octoprint ffmpeg
+
+To get started copy `constants.example.py` to `constants.py`:
+
+```
+$ cp constants.example.py constants.py
+```
+
+Afterwards make `stream_start.py` and `stream_stop.py` executable:
+
+```
+$ chmod +x stream_start.py
+$ chmod +x stream_stop.py
+```
+
+You can now start the stream by simply running
+
+```
+./stream_start.py
+```
+
+and stop the stream with
+
+```
+./stream_stop.py
+```
