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>

Forward streams
Incoming streams can be natively forwarded to other servers with the following protocols:
It is also possible to use FFmpeg to perform the forwarding.
RTSP
Add the target URL inside dest of a forward entry:
paths:
mypath:
forward:
- dest: rtsp://user:pass@host:port/path
RTMP
Add the target URL inside dest of a forward entry:
paths:
mypath:
forward:
- dest: rtmp://user:pass@host:port/path#streamKey
SRT
Add the target URL inside dest of a forward entry:
paths:
mypath:
forward:
- dest: srt://host:port?streamid=streamid
FFmpeg
When the destination requires transcoding, filtering or a protocol that is not supported by forward, use FFmpeg inside the runOnAvailable parameter instead:
pathDefaults:
runOnAvailable: >
ffmpeg -i rtsp://localhost:$RTSP_PORT/$MTX_PATH
-c copy
-f rtsp rtsp://other-server:8554/another-path
runOnAvailableRestart: yes
