It is now possible to define forward destinations for each path configuration. For each destination, the server will create a client that will forward the stream to the intended destination. Supported protocols are RTSP, RTMP, SRT. API and metrics have also been improved to allow monitoring the new forwarding system. --------- Co-authored-by: aler9 <46489434+aler9@users.noreply.github.com>
MediaMTX is a ready-to-use and zero-dependency live media server and media proxy that allows to publish, read, proxy, record and playback real-time video and audio streams. It has been conceived as a "media router" that routes media streams from one end to the other, with a focus on efficiency and portability.
Features
- Publish streams to the server with Media-over-QUIC, SRT, WebRTC, RTSP, RTMP, HLS, MPEG-TS, RTP, using FFmpeg, GStreamer, OBS Studio, Python , Golang, Unity, Web browsers, Raspberry Pi Cameras and more.
- Read streams from the server with Media-over-QUIC, SRT, WebRTC, RTSP, RTMP, HLS, using FFmpeg, GStreamer, VLC, OBS Studio, Python , Golang, Unity, Web browsers and more.
- Streams are automatically converted from a protocol to another
- Serve several streams at once in separate paths
- Reload the configuration without disconnecting existing clients (hot reloading)
- Serve always-available streams even when the publisher is offline
- Record streams to disk in fMP4 or MPEG-TS format
- Playback recorded streams from disk
- Authenticate users with internal, HTTP or JWT authentication
- Forward streams to other servers
- Proxy requests to other servers
- Control the server through the Control API
- Extract metrics from the server in a Prometheus-compatible format
- Monitor performance to investigate CPU and RAM consumption
- Run hooks (external commands) when clients connect, disconnect, read or publish streams
- Compatible with Linux, Windows and macOS, does not require any dependency or interpreter, it's a single executable
- ...and many others.
