-RTMP is a protocol that is used to read and publish streams, but is less versatile and less efficient than RTSP (doesn't support UDP, encryption, most RTSP codecs, feedback mechanism). If there is need of publishing or reading streams from a software that supports only RTMP (for instance, OBS Studio and DJI drones), it's possible to turn on a RTMP listener:
