RTMP server

The main program is rtmp.py. Please see the embedded documentation in that file. Some parts of the documentation are copied here. Other modules such as amf, util and multitask are used from elsewhere and contain their respective copyright notices.

SIP-RTMP gateway

The siprtmp module implements a SIP-RTMP gateway. Please see the google code project for details on demo instructions and support information. The project description is contained in siprtmp.py file itself. The command line of siprtmp is same as rtmp, hence just replce rtmp by siprtmp in the following example to start the gateway.

RTMP client

The rtmpclient module implements a simple RTMP client. Please see the documentation in rtmpclient.py source file on how it works and how it can be used.

RTMFP server

The rtmfp module implements a simple and imcomplete RTMFP rendezvous server. Please see the documentation in rtmfp.py source file on how it works.

Getting Started

Dependencies: Python 2.6 and Python 2.5

Typically an application can launch this server as follows:

$ python rtmp.py -d

The -d option enables debug trace so you know what is happening in the server.

To know the command line options use the -h option:

$ python rtmp.py -h

A test client is available in testClient directory, and can be compiled using Flex Builder. Alternatively, you can use the SWF file to launch from testClient/bin-debug after starting the server. Once you have launched the client in the browser, you can connect to local host by clicking on 'connect' button. Then click on publish button to publish a stream. Open another browser with same URL and first connect then play the same stream name. If everything works fine you should be able to see the video from first browser to the second browser. Similar, in the first browser, if you check the record box before publishing, it will create a new FLV file for the recorded stream. You can close the publishing stream and play the recorded stream to see your recording. Note that due to initial delay in timestamp (in case publish was clicked much later than connect), your played video will start appearing after some initial delay.
