# RTSP parameters

# Disable support for the RTSP protocol.
rtspDisable: no
# List of enabled RTSP transport protocols.
# UDP is the most performant, but doesn't work when there's a NAT/firewall between
# server and clients, and doesn't support encryption.
# UDP-multicast allows to save bandwidth when clients are all in the same LAN.
# TCP is the most versatile, and does support encryption.
# The handshake is always performed with TCP.
protocols: [tcp]
# Encrypt handshake and TCP streams with TLS (RTSPS).
# Available values are "no", "strict", "optional".
encryption: "no"
# Address of the TCP/RTSP listener. This is needed only when encryption is "no" or "optional".
rtspAddress: :8554
# Address of the TCP/TLS/RTSPS listener. This is needed only when encryption is "strict" or "optional".
rtspsAddress: :8555
# Address of the UDP/RTP listener. This is needed only when "udp" is in protocols.
rtpAddress: :8000
# Address of the UDP/RTCP listener. This is needed only when "udp" is in protocols.
rtcpAddress: :8001
# IP range of all UDP-multicast listeners. This is needed only when "multicast" is in protocols.
multicastIPRange: 224.1.0.0/16
# Port of all UDP-multicast/RTP listeners. This is needed only when "multicast" is in protocols.

# Path to the server key. This is needed only when encryption is "strict" or "optional".

###############################################
# HLS parameters

# Disable support for the HLS protocol.
hlsDisable: yes
# Address of the HLS listener.
hlsAddress: :8888
# By default, HLS is generated only when requested by a user.
# This option allows to generate it always, avoiding the delay between request and generation.
hlsAlwaysRemux: no
# Number of HLS segments to generate.
# Increasing segments allows more buffering,
# Decreasing segments decreases latency.
hlsSegmentCount: 3
# Minimum duration of each segment.
# The final segment duration is also influenced by the interval between IDR frames,
# since the server changes the segment duration to include at least a IDR frame in each one.
hlsSegmentDuration: 1s
# Maximum size of each segment.
# This prevents RAM exhaustion.
hlsSegmentMaxSize: 50M
# Value of the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header provided in every HTTP response.
# This allows to play the HLS stream from an external website.
hlsAllowOrigin: '*'

# Path parameters

# These settings are path-dependent, and the map key is the name of the path.
# It's possible to use regular expressions by using a tilde as prefix.
# For example, "~^(test1|test2)$" will match both "test1" and "test2".
# For example, "~^prefix" will match all paths that start with "prefix".
# The settings under the path "all" are applied to all paths that do not match
# another entry.
paths:
  all:
    # Source of the stream. This can be:
    # * publisher -> the stream is published by a RTSP or RTMP client
    # * rtsp://existing-url -> the stream is pulled from another RTSP server / camera
    # * rtsps://existing-url -> the stream is pulled from another RTSP server / camera with RTSPS
    # * rtmp://existing-url -> the stream is pulled from another RTMP server
    # * http://existing-url/stream.m3u8 -> the stream is pulled from another HLS server
    # * https://existing-url/stream.m3u8 -> the stream is pulled from another HLS server with HTTPS
    # * redirect -> the stream is provided by another path or server
    source: publisher

    # If the source is an RTSP or RTSPS URL, this is the protocol that will be used to
    # pull the stream. available values are "automatic", "udp", "multicast", "tcp".
    sourceProtocol: automatic

    # Tf the source is an RTSP or RTSPS URL, this allows to support sources that
    # don't provide server ports or use random server ports. This is a security issue
    # and must be used only when interacting with sources that require it.
    sourceAnyPortEnable: no

    # If the source is a RTSPS or HTTPS URL, and the source certificate is self-signed
    # or invalid, you can provide the fingerprint of the certificate in order to
    # validate it anyway. It can be obtained by running:
    # openssl s_client -connect source_ip:source_port </dev/null 2>/dev/null | sed -n '/BEGIN/,/END/p' > server.crt
    # openssl x509 -in server.crt -noout -fingerprint -sha256 | cut -d "=" -f2 | tr -d ':'

    # If the source is an RTSP or RTMP URL, it will be pulled only when at least
    # one reader is connected, saving bandwidth.

    # ready or until this amount of time has passed.
