How to Stream and How to Emulate a live encoder

One format that most encoder support is plain RTP. So this project shows how RTP streams are received and re-emitted as MPEG-DASH. It includes a stock Shaka Player to complete the showcase.

The sample server is not configurable in any way from the outside. The configuration is in the code and reflects the prepared test content. While the stream is created it is a live stream with a dynamic manifest. Once the stream source stopped emitting RTP packets the DASH stream will automatically become available as an on demand stream (even though the profile is still the live profile).

Prerequisites:

• java 8
• ffmpeg

additionally you can download a prebuilt version and the demo video:

• Rtp2DASH Release 1.0.2
• tos-mbr-in-one-file.mp4

Step 1 - Start the Server

java -jar rtp2dash-1.0.jar

Step 2 - Start the stream

ffmpeg -re -i tos-mbr-in-one-file.mp4 -c:v copy -c:a copy -map 0:0  -f rtp rtp://127.0.0.1:5000/  -c:v copy -c:a copy  -map 0:1  -f rtp rtp://127.0.0.1:5001/ -c:v copy -c:a copy  -map 0:2  -f rtp rtp://127.0.0.1:5002/  -c:v copy -c:a copy  -map 0:3  -f rtp rtp://127.0.0.1:5003/  -c:v copy -c:a copy  -map 0:4  -f rtp rtp://127.0.0.1:5004/  -c:v copy -c:a copy  -map 0:5  -f rtp rtp://127.0.0.1:5005/
