Support of video codec: H.264/H.265/VP8/VP9 and audio codec: MP3/AAC/OPUS

Hi there!

Does this server support video codec: H.264/H.265/VP8/VP9 and audio codec: MP3/AAC/OPUS ?

where is that defined in the source code?

Unlike RTMP, the RTSP protocol does not require specific codecs. You should be able to send any combination through.

Thanks for the confirmation! highly appreciated i'm new into the RTSP protocol. Can we update the README step by step on how to compile the project from source?

Why Wowza under the 'RTSP/RTP' description part ( from https://www.wowza.com/blog/streaming-protocols )

list only those codec below if the RTSP protocol does not require specific codecs ? :

Audio Codecs: AAC, AAC-LC, HE-AAC+ v1 & v2, MP3, Speex, Opus, Vorbis
Video Codecs: H.265 (preview), H.264, VP9, VP8

That is a Wowza requirement. It allows them to remux the stream into other formats without having to do expensive re-encoding.

Once again midicase thank you! now i understand better 👍

Hi,

• Wowza is a media server, a software that can receive streams, convert them into different formats and output them. It should also provide a RTSP server, i don't remember precisely.
• rtsp-simple-server is a RTSP server, a software that can receive existing streams and serve them exactly as they are, with the RTSP protocol, that allows to stream with the efficiency of the RTP protocol and the simplicity of the client-server architecture.

You can also use rtsp-simple-server as a media server, by using ffmpeg or gstreamer to take a stream from the server, remux/re-encode it, and resending it to the server, for instance:

ffmpeg -i rtsp://localhost:8554/original -c:v libx264 -preset ultrafast -tune zerolatency -b 600k -f rtsp rtsp://localhost:8554/compressed
