DESCRIPTION
MediaMTX (formerly rtsp-simple-server) is a real-time media server and proxy that supports multiple streaming protocols. It can receive, transcode, and redistribute video/audio streams from various sources.Supported protocols include RTSP, RTMP, HLS, WebRTC, and SRT. The server can act as a proxy for IP cameras, a restreaming hub, or a recording server. It handles on-demand stream publishing and automatic reconnection.Configuration is done via a YAML file specifying paths, authentication, encryption, and protocol-specific settings. Without a config file, default settings are used.
