Examples

The following examples all make use of the ffplay and ffmpeg tools.

Watch a stream over UDP, with a max reordering delay of 0.5 seconds:

ffplay -max_delay 500000 -rtsp_transport udp rtsp://server/video.mp4

Watch a stream tunneled over HTTP:

ffplay -rtsp_transport http rtsp://server/video.mp4

Send a stream in realtime to a RTSP server, for others to watch:

ffmpeg -re -i input -f rtsp -muxdelay 0.1 rtsp://server/live.sdp

Receive a stream in realtime:

ffmpeg -rtsp_flags listen -i rtsp://ownaddress/live.sdp output
