Alessandro RosandGitHub b5b63d02fc support reading and publishing with Media-over-QUIC (#5815)
Media-over-QUIC is a streaming protocol built upon cutting edge
protocols (QUIC, HTTP3) and browser APIs (WebTransport, WebCodecs).
It's slightly faster than WebRTC, has an advanced data recovery
mechanism (placed at the frame level and not at the packet level), it
supports additional codecs (FLAC) and is less complicated to route.

SRT is a protocol that allows to publish and read live data stream, providing encryption, integrity and a retransmission mechanism. It is usually used to transfer media streams encoded with MPEG-TS. In order to read a stream from the server with the SRT protocol, use this URL:

srt://localhost:8890?streamid=read:mystream

Replace mystream with the path name.

If you need to use the standard stream ID syntax instead of the custom one in use by this server, read Standard stream ID syntax.

Some clients that can read with SRT are FFmpeg, GStreamer and VLC.
