# RTSP::Server(3pm)

Lightweight RTSP/RTP server. Like icecast, for audio/video streams.

## NAME

RTSP::Server - Lightweight RTSP/RTP server. Like icecast, for audio/video streams.

## SYNOPSIS

```
  use AnyEvent;
  use RTSP::Server;
  # defaults:
  my $srv = new RTSP::Server(
      log_level             => 2,   # 0 = no output, 5 = most verbose
      max_clients           => 100,
      client_listen_port    => 554,
      source_listen_port    => 5545,
      rtp_start_port        => 20000,
      client_listen_address => '0.0.0.0',
      source_listen_address => '0.0.0.0',
  );
  # listen and accept incoming connections asynchronously
  # (returns immediately)
  $srv->listen;
  # main loop
  my $cv = AnyEvent->condvar;
  # ...
  $cv->recv;
  undef $srv;  # when the server goes out of scope, all sockets will
               # be cleaned up
```

## DESCRIPTION

This server is designed to enable to rebroadcasting of RTP media streams to clients, controlled by RTSP. Please see README for more information.

## USAGE

After starting the server, stream sources may send an ANNOUNCE for a desired mountpoint, followed by a RECORD request to begin streaming. Clients can then connect on the client port at the same mountpoint and send a PLAY request to receive the RTP data streamed from the source.

## BUNDLED APPLICATIONS

Includes rtsp-server.pl, which basically contains the synopsis.

### COMING SOON

Priv dropping, authentication, client encoder, stats, tests
