[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/aler9/rtsp-simple-server.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/aler9/rtsp-simple-server)

_rtsp-simple-server_ is a simple, ready-to-use and zero-dependency RTSP server, a program that allows multiple users to read or publish live video and audio streams. RTSP a standardized protocol that defines how to perform these operations with the help of a server, that is contacted by both readers and publishers in order to negotiate a streaming protocol and read or write data. The server is then responsible of linking the publisher stream with the readers.
_rtsp-simple-server_ is a simple, ready-to-use and zero-dependency RTSP server, a program that allows multiple users to read or publish live video streams. RTSP a standardized protocol that defines how to perform these operations with the help of a server, that is contacted by both readers and publishers in order to negotiate a streaming protocol and read or write data. The server is then responsible of linking the publisher stream with the readers.

This software was developed with the aim of simulating a live camera feed for debugging purposes, and therefore to use files instead of real streams. Another reason for the development was the deprecation of _FFserver_, the component of the FFmpeg project that allowed to create a RTSP server with _FFmpeg_ (but this server can be used with any software that supports RTSP).

Features:
* Supports reading streams via UDP and TCP
* Supports publishing streams via UDP and TCP
* Supports one publisher at once, while readers can be more than one
* Supports a single video stream
* Supports one publisher at once, while readers are limitless
* Supports the RTP/RTCP streaming protocol
