This Golang Open Source project is a ready-to-use and zero-dependency server and proxy that allows users to publish, read and proxy live video and audio streams through various protocols:
| protocol | description | publish | read | proxy |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RTSP | the fastest way to publish and read streams |  | | |
| RTMP | allows interacting with legacy software | | | |
| Low-Latency HLS | allows embedding streams into a web page |  | | |
Features of Golang-based RTSP / RTMP / LL-HLS Server:
- Publish live streams to the server
- Read live streams from the server
- Authenticate users; use internal or external authentication
- Query and control the server through an HTTP API
- Read Prometheus-compatible metrics
- Act as a proxy and serve streams from other servers or cameras, always or on-demand
- Each stream can have multiple videos and audio tracks, encoded with any codec, including H264, H265, VP8, VP9, AAC, Opus, PCM, JPEG,MPEG2, MP3
- Streams are automatically converted from one protocol to another. For instance, it’s possible to publish a stream with RTSP and read it with HLS
- Serve multiple streams at once in separate paths
- Redirect readers to other RTSP servers (load balancing)
- Run external commands when clients connect, disconnect, read or publish streams
- Reload the configuration without disconnecting existing clients (hot reloading)
- Compatible with Windows, Linux and macOS, does not require any dependency or interpreter, it’s a single executable
