rstp-simple-server is fantastic, I use it for all kinds of stuff and appreciate how easy it is to deploy. More software should eschew having a million dependencies and focus on doing one thing WELL :)

I'm a programmer that doesn't really understand anything about media streaming. What is a good use case for this project? I can't decipher it from the description. It can read and publish media streams. What does that do?

  I have used MediaMTX to proxy IP camera feeds to custom web pages. IP cameras generally stream through the Real time Streaming Protocol (RTSP). This cannot be directly played in the web and also requires authentication in most cases. MediaMTX acts as a proxy to convert RTSP→WebRTC and take care of the authentication.

    Thanks - that alone is a good example to help illustrate what it can do, appreciate it!

mediamtx has 50 dependencies...

  Presumably it means no runtime dependencies? A lot of media software requires you to have a bunch of libraries installed via system package manager, so I’m guessing this is intending to contrast with that?
