Crate rtsp 

rtsp — RTSP server library for live media streaming

A Rust library for publishing live media streams (H.264, with H.265 and MJPEG planned) over the Real-Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP).

Protocol references

RFC	Topic	How this crate uses it
RFC 2326	RTSP 1.0	Request/response parsing, session lifecycle, transport negotiation
RFC 3550	RTP	Packet header format, SSRC generation, sequence/timestamp semantics
RFC 4566	SDP	Session description generation for DESCRIBE responses
RFC 6184	H.264 RTP payload	NAL unit packetization, FU-A fragmentation, SDP fmtp attributes

Quick start

use rtsp::Server;

let mut server = Server::new("0.0.0.0:8554");
server.start().unwrap();

// Push H.264 Annex B frames — the server packetizes and delivers via RTP.
// server.send_frame(&h264_data, 3000).unwrap();

Crate layout

• server — High-level Server orchestrator and ServerConfig.
• mount — Mount (stream endpoint) and MountRegistry.
• protocol — RTSP request/response parsing, method handling, SDP generation.
• session — RTSP session state machine and transport negotiation.
• transport — TCP listener for RTSP signaling, UDP sender for RTP delivery.
• media — Packetizer trait, RTP header builder, codec implementations.
• error — RtspError enum and Result alias.
