SRS is a simple, high efficiency and realtime video server, supports RTMP/HLS/HTTP-FLV.

Get SRS source, recommend CentOS7:

git clone -b 3.0release https://github.com/ossrs/srs.git

Build SRS in srs/trunk:

cd srs/trunk
./configure
make

Run SRS server:

./objs/srs -c conf/srs.conf

Check SRS by http://localhost:8080/ or:

# Check the process status
./etc/init.d/srs status

# Check the SRS logs
tail -f ./objs/srs.log

Publish stream by FFmpeg or OBS :

ffmpeg -re -i ./doc/source.flv -c copy -f flv -y rtmp://localhost/live/livestream

Play stream by:

• RTMP (by VLC): rtmp://localhost/live/livestream
• H5(HTTP-FLV): http://localhost:8080/live/livestream.flv
• H5(HLS): http://localhost:8080/live/livestream.m3u8

Please read more information about SRS.

Run SRS docker, the available images is here :

docker run --rm -it -p 1935:1935 -p 1985:1985 -p 8080:8080 \
    ossrs/srs:3 ./objs/srs -c conf/srs.conf

Please read more information about SRS.

SRS is industrial-strength live streaming cluster, for the best conceptual integrity and the simplest implementation. SRS provides variety of inputs, for example, Push RTMP to SRS, Push RTSP/UDP/FLV to SRS, Pull Stream to SRS. SRS can transform the RTMP to other protocols or deliveries, for example, RTMP Transcode, Snapshot, Forward to Other Servers, Transmux to HTTP-FLV, Transmux to HLS, Transmux to HDS, Transmux to DASH, DVR to FLV/MP4. SRS canbe used in CDN for large stream clusters, for example, RTMP Cluster、 OriginCluster, VHOST, Reload, HTTP-FLV Cluster. Futhermore, SRS provides apis, for example, HTTP Callback, Security, HTTP API, RTMP Bandwidth Test. There're lots of Applications in both CDN and origin servers.

Migrate From NGINX-RTMP:

If you are a user of nginx-rtmp, there is a tendency to use SRS as nginx-rtmp that you already know. Be aware of this bias and try to avoid it.

• NG EXEC: Fork/Exec external program when got some event.

Benchmarks:

• Compare: The comparation of SRS to other servers.
• Performance: The performance benchmark.

Develop Guide

• SRS Code Analysis, code and arch.
• SRS Librtmp: Exported librtmp library by SRS, can be used to push or pull stream over RTMP, and it's C++ code to compile for Android or iOS.
• Third-party Client SDK: For mobile platform, such as Android and iOS, there are some client SDKs to publish or play live stream.
