Live streaming of International Space Station video on Raspberry PI

Few days ago I found that there live streaming from International Space Station that available 24h 7 days in a week. It shows earth from a space and looks like brilliant screen saver that you can watch all day long or at least 45 minutes next 45 minutes it is just black screen because it comes to the night side of the earth.

So I have connected my Raspberry PI to TV and setup streaming. There a lot instructions how to archive it:

	#!/bin/bash
	sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
	sudo apt-get install rtmpdump python-pip
	sudo pip install livestreamer
	# to get best resolution
	sudo apt-get install python-dev
	sudo apt-get install libffi-dev
	sudo apt-get install librtmp-dev
	sudo pip install cffi
	sudo pip install python-librtmp
	livestreamer ustream.tv/channel/iss-hdev-payload best -np 'omxplayer -o hdmi -live'

And maybe because of slow connection my app was always stops playing. But luckily there easy way to fix it (just increase timeout):

	#!/bin/bash
	livestreamer --stream-segment-timeout 100000 --stream-timeout 100000 --http-timeout 100000 ustream.tv/channel/iss-hdev-payload best -np 'omxplayer -o hdmi -live --timeout 100000'
