UDP: the most performant, but doesn't work when there's a NAT/firewall between server and clients.

RTSP is a standardized protocol that allows to publish and read streams in particular, it supports different underlying transport protocols, that are chosen by clients during the handshake with the server:

paths is replicated for every HLS muxer and shows the name and state of every HLS muxerĪ performance monitor, compatible with pprof, can be enabled with the parameter pprof: yes then the server can be queried for metrics with pprof-compatible tools, like:.

Compatible with Linux, Windows and macOS, does not require any dependency or interpreter, it's a single executableĭownload and extract a precompiled binary from the release page.

Natively compatible with the Raspberry Pi Camera.

Run external commands when clients connect, disconnect, read or publish streams.

Reload the configuration without disconnecting existing clients (hot reloading).

Query and control the server through an HTTP API.

Redirect readers to other RTSP servers (load balancing).

Authenticate users use internal or external authentication.Serve multiple streams at once in separate paths.For instance, it's possible to publish a stream with RTSP and read it with HLS

Streams are automatically converted from a protocol to another.

Each stream can have multiple video and audio tracks, encoded with any RTP-compatible codec, including H264, H265, VP8, VP9, MPEG2, MP3, AAC, Opus, PCM, JPEG.

Proxy streams from other servers or cameras, always or on-demand.

Rtsp-simple-server is a ready-to-use and zero-dependency server and proxy that allows users to publish, read and proxy live video and audio streams through various protocols: protocol
