_rtsp-simple-server_ is a simple, ready-to-use and zero-dependency RTSP/RTMP server and proxy, a software that allows multiple users to publish, read and proxy live video and audio streams. RTSP is a specification that describes how to perform these operations with the help of a server, that is contacted by both publishers and readers and relays the publisher's streams to the readers.

Features:
* Publish live streams with RTSP (UDP or TCP mode) or RTMP
* Read live streams with RTSP
* Pull and serve streams from other RTSP / RTMP servers or cameras, always or on-demand (RTSP proxy)
* Each stream can have multiple video and audio tracks, encoded with any codec (including H264, H265, VP8, VP9, MPEG2, MP3, AAC, Opus, PCM)
* Pull and serve streams from other RTSP or RTMP servers, always or on-demand (RTSP proxy)
* Serve multiple streams at once in separate paths
* Encrypt streams with TLS (RTSPS)
* Authenticate readers and publishers separately
* Authenticate readers and publishers
* Redirect to other RTSP servers (load balancing)
* Run custom commands when clients connect, disconnect, read or publish streams
* Reload the configuration without disconnecting existing clients (hot reloading)
_rtsp-simple-server_ is also a RTSP proxy, that is usually deployed in one of these scenarios:
_rtsp-simple-server_ is also a RTSP and RTMP proxy, that is usually deployed in one of these scenarios:
* when there are multiple users that are receiving a stream and the bandwidth is limited; the proxy is used to receive the stream once. Users can then connect to the proxy instead of the original source.
* when there's a NAT / firewall between a stream and the users; the proxy is installed on the NAT and makes the stream available to the outside world.
