Graphics, sound and multimedia • Display RSTP stream in web page

Hi,

I searched a way to display a RTSP stream inside a webpage, there is several solution like using WebRTC, HLS, MPEG#.
WebRTC is nice but ICE configuration maybe tricky, HLS and MPEG# could hardly reduce buffering below 1s.
go2rtc is a nice tool.

Then I tried another way, since https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/doc ... Codecs_API allow to decode encoded video like H264/H265, making a light proxy that consume RTSP and forward encoded stream to the webbrowser. Then the webbrowser use webcodec to decode and render the video/audio. It needs webbrowser to support source encoding, but with modern hardware H265 is working , it is still difficult to make it work with WebRTC.

The code is available https://github.com/mpromonet/rtsp2web.git.

Building it is quite straight forwardThen to start proxifying could be done with:Webstream could be display using http://localhost:8080

As webcodec needs to be executed in https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/doc ... e_Contexts using remotely needs to enable https and give key & cert material using -c option.

It might be install though snap Best Regards,
Michel.
