Stream Converter

Stream Converter是SRS作为服务器侦听并接收其他协议的流（譬如FLV, MPEG-TS over UDP等等），将这些协议的流转换成RTMP推送给自己，以使用RTMP/HLS/HTTP分发流。

Use Scenario

常见的应用场景包括：

• Push MPEG-TS over UDP to SRS：通过UDP协议，将MPEG-TS推送到SRS，分发为RTMP/HLS/HTTP流。
• POST FLV over HTTP to SRS: 通过HTTP协议，将FLV流POST到SRS，分发为RTMP/HLS/HTTP流。

Note: Stream Converter将其他支持的协议推送RTMP给SRS后，所有SRS的功能都能支持。譬如，推MPEGTS流给SRS，Stream Converter转成RTMP推送给SRS，若vhost是edge，SRS将RTMP流转发给源站。或者将RTMP流转码，或者直接转发。

Build

编译SRS时打开Stream Converter支持，参考Build：

./configure --stream-caster=on

Protocols

目前Stream Converter支持的协议包括：

• MPEG-TS over UDP：已支持，可使用FFMPEG或其他编码器push MPEG-TS over UDP到SRS上。
• POST FLV over HTTP to SRS: 已支持。

Config

Stream Converter相关的配置如下：

# Push MPEGTS over UDP to SRS.
stream_caster {
    # Whether stream converter is enabled.
    # Default: off
    enabled on;
    # The type of stream converter, could be:
    #       mpegts_over_udp, push MPEG-TS over UDP and convert to RTMP.
    caster mpegts_over_udp;
    # The output rtmp url.
    # For mpegts_over_udp converter, the typically output url:
    #           rtmp://127.0.0.1/live/livestream
    output rtmp://127.0.0.1/live/livestream;
    # The listen port for stream converter.
    # For mpegts_over_udp converter, listen at udp port. for example, 8935.
    listen 8935;
}

# Push FLV by HTTP POST to SRS.
stream_caster {
    # Whether stream converter is enabled.
    # Default: off
    enabled on;
    # The type of stream converter, could be:
    #       flv, push FLV by HTTP POST and convert to RTMP.
    caster flv;
    # The output rtmp url.
    # For flv converter, the typically output url:
    #           rtmp://127.0.0.1/[app]/[stream]
    # For example, POST to url:
    #           http://127.0.0.1:8936/live/livestream.flv
    # Where the [app] is "live" and [stream] is "livestream", output is:
    #           rtmp://127.0.0.1/live/livestream
    output rtmp://127.0.0.1/[app]/[stream];
    # The listen port for stream converter.
    # For flv converter, listen at tcp port. for example, 8936.
    listen 8936;
}

Push MPEG-TS over UDP

SRS可以侦听一个udp端口，编码器将流推送到这个udp端口（SPTS）后，SRS会转成一路RTMP流。后面RTMP流能支持的功能都支持。

配置如下，参考conf/push.mpegts.over.udp.conf：

# the streamer cast stream from other protocol to SRS over RTMP.
# @see https://github.com/ossrs/srs/tree/develop#stream-architecture
stream_caster {
    enabled         on;
    caster          mpegts_over_udp;
    output          rtmp://127.0.0.1/live/livestream;
    listen          1935;
}

Push RTSP to SRS

这个功能已经被删除，详细原因参考#2304。

Push HTTP FLV to SRS

SRS可以侦听一个HTTP端口，编码器将流推送到这个http端口后，SRS会转成一路RTMP流。所有RTMP流的功能都能支持。

配置如下，参考conf/push.flv.conf：

# the streamer cast stream from other protocol to SRS over RTMP.
# @see https://github.com/ossrs/srs/tree/develop#stream-architecture
stream_caster {
    enabled         on;
    caster          flv;
    output          rtmp://127.0.0.1/[app]/[stream];
    listen          8936;
}

这个配置时，客户端推流的地址，例如：http://127.0.0.1:8936/live/sea.flv
播放RTMP流地址是：rtmp://127.0.0.1/live/sea
播放HLS流地址是：http://127.0.0.1:8080/live/sea.m3u8

注意：需要配置HTTP服务器和HLS，参考conf/push.flv.conf
