This is a minimal toolset needed to get an H264/AVC stream from RTSP-enabled camera, written as a PoC in pure Python with no external dependencies.
It includes a (partial) implementation of RTSP client (supports basic and digest auth), RTP datagram (courtesy of github.com/plazmer) and NAL unit (FU-A fragmentation only) parsers.
It is not a fully featured, generic, production ready toolset, but rather an R&D playground.
- No FU-B NAL units parsing
- No QoS/RTCP
- No keepalives
from control import RTSPClient
from transport import RTPStream
url = 'rtsp://username:password@10.0.0.1:554/Streaming/Channels/101'
with RTSPClient(url) as client, RTPStream() as stream:
# send RTSP SETUP
client.setup(stream.port)
# initiate streaming
client.play()
with open('/tmp/stream','wb+') as f:
for chunk in stream.generate():
f.write(chunk)
# f.flush()
