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-specific features
SRT is a protocol that can be used for publishing and reading streams. Regarding specific tasks, check out Publish with SRT clients and Read with SRT clients. Features in this page are shared among both tasks.
Standard stream ID syntax
In SRT, the stream ID is a string that is sent to the remote part in order to advertise what action the caller is going to do (publish or read), the path and the credentials. All this information has to be encoded into a single string. This server supports two stream ID syntaxes, a custom one (that is the one reported in the rest of the README) and also a standard one proposed by the authors of the protocol and enforced by some hardware. The standard syntax can be used in this way:
srt://localhost:8890?streamid=#!::m=publish,r=mypath,u=myuser,s=mypass&pkt_size=1316
Where:
- key
mcontains the action (publishorrequest) - key
rcontains the path - key
ucontains the username - key
scontains the password
