SRT, typical examples
Following last week’s blog post announcing SRT in GStreamer, I’d like to briefly discuss another way to use an SRT stream: with VLC 3.0!
SRT optimizes streaming performance across unpredictable networks with secure streams and easy firewall traversal, bringing the best quality live video over the worst networks, and is now integrated into GStreamer, the versatile, open source multimedia framework.
At Collabora, we’re very excited with the possibilities created by SRT, so we decided to integrate it into GStreamer, the most versatile multimedia framework out there.
