About MediaMTX
MediaMTX is a ready-to-use live media server and media proxy. It lets you publish, read, proxy, record and play back real-time video and audio streams across Media-over-QUIC, SRT, WebRTC, RTSP, RTMP, LL-HLS, MPEG-TS and RTP, converting between protocols as needed.
It has no dependencies and is configured through a single YAML file, with an API and Docker files in the repository. It suits people who need to route camera feeds, relay streams or record live video on their own server.
