SRS for Windows

SRS 5.0.89+ supports Windows(Cygwin64).

Build from code

Please install Cygwin64.

Install packages gcc-g++ make automake patch pkg-config tcl cmake, please see packages.

Build SRS with cygwin terminal:

git checkout develop
./configure
make

If success, there should be a ./objs/srs.exe

Install from binary

For each release of SRS, from SRS 5.0.89, there is always a binary installer of SRS Windows, normally as the artifact of release, which allows you to install and run SRS very easy.

Bellow is some examples, note that you should always use the latest release, not the fixed one:

• Latest release
• SRS-Windows-x86_64-5.0.89-setup.exe
• SRS-Windows-x86_64-5.0.19-setup.exe

Note: SRS 5.0.89+ supports cygwin pipeline, to build and packge automatically by GitHub Actions.

Run SRS as administrator:

Publish to SRS Windows by FFmpeg:

ffmpeg -re -i ~/srs/doc/source.flv -c copy -f flv rtmp://win11/live/livestream

Play by VLC or srs-player

Most of SRS features are available in Windows, for example, RTMP, HTTP-FLV, HLS, WebRTC, HTTP-API, Prometheus Exporter, etc.

Package by NSIS

If want to package by NSIS, please run in cygwin terminal:

"/cygdrive/c/Program Files (x86)/NSIS/makensis.exe" \
    /DSRS_VERSION=$(./objs/srs -v 2>&1) \
    /DCYGWIN_DIR="C:\cygwin64" \
    packaging/nsis/srs.nsi

Windows docker also works for SRS, however, srs.exe is more popular for windows developers.

My environment WSL + Ubuntu should be more efficient than cygwin.

During the SRS installation process, SRS will be added to the Windows environment variables. Users can open the cmd console and directly launch SRS.

How to solve the issue of not adding system environment variables? What variables should be manually added?

Mine also didn't add environment variables? Does everyone use Windows?

What if the system environment variables are not added? How can it be resolved? Manually add which variables?

Mine also does not have the environment variables added? Does everyone use Windows?
I have already given up and am waiting for future updates. Currently, I find CentOS more stable to use.

Have you ever compiled a Windows version? When I compile it, it stops executing with an error at 'Building ffmpeg-4-fit'...

Have you ever compiled a Windows version? When I was compiling, I encountered two issues that prevented me from proceeding...

First issue: ./config
Building libsrtp-2-fit.
patching file crypto/math/datatypes.c
Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected! Assume -R? [n]

This place, I don't know how to handle it?

Secondly, during the process of making.
In file included from src/app/srs_app_threads.cpp:21:
src/app/srs_app_rtc_dtls.hpp:16:10: fatal error: srtp2/srtp.h: No such file or directory
16 | #include <srtp2/srtp.h>
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.

That's the end here.

I have not compiled the Windows version before. The actual released version can run normally, but there are some differences in the command slashes (\ and /) compared to the tutorial. My problem at that time was that the conf file configured in Linux could not run properly in the Windows version. So I found an old computer and set up a local Linux server with the help of Baota. It's very convenient. Why do we have to use Windows? I don't know what your application environment is, but I use the Linux version to convert RTSP from an internal network camera to RTMP+.flv for external live streaming. It is very stable, and I haven't made any changes since I set it up. The speed is also good, and you can directly upload the public network service to the cloud. Lightweight servers are not expensive nowadays. L.HF ***@***.*** Rongcheng Yijie Network Technology Co., Ltd. &nbsp;
