gortsplib

RTSP 1.0 client and server library for the Go programming language, written for MediaMTX.

Go ≥ 1.20 is required.

Features:

Client
- Query servers about available media streams
- Play (read)
  - Read media streams from servers with the UDP, UDP-multicast or TCP transport protocol
  - Read TLS-encrypted streams (TCP only)
  - Switch transport protocol automatically
  - Read selected media streams
  - Pause or seek without disconnecting from the server
  - Write to ONVIF back channels
  - Get PTS (relative) timestamp of incoming packets
  - Get NTP (absolute) timestamp of incoming packets
- Record (write)
  - Write media streams to servers with the UDP or TCP transport protocol
  - Write TLS-encrypted streams (TCP only)
  - Switch transport protocol automatically
  - Pause without disconnecting from the server
Server
- Handle requests from clients
- Record (read)
  - Read media streams from clients with the UDP or TCP transport protocol
  - Read TLS-encrypted streams (TCP only)
  - Get PTS (relative) timestamp of incoming packets
  - Get NTP (absolute) timestamp of incoming packets
- Play (write)
  - Write media streams to clients with the UDP, UDP-multicast or TCP transport protocol
  - Write TLS-encrypted streams (TCP only)
  - Compute and provide SSRC, RTP-Info to clients
Utilities
- Parse RTSP elements
- Encode/decode RTP packets into/from codec-specific frames

RTP Payload Formats

In RTSP, media streams are routed between server and clients by using RTP packets, which are encoded in a specific, codec-dependent, format. This library supports formats for the following codecs:
