Node.js RTSP Stream Proxy & WebSocket Broadcast Tutorial

const { spawn } = require('child_process');
const WebSocket = require('ws');

const wss = new WebSocket.Server({ port: 8080 });

const ffmpeg = spawn('ffmpeg', [
  '-rtsp_transport', 'tcp',
  '-i', 'rtsp://rtsplink.com/live/test?token=demo',
  '-f', 'mpegts',
  '-codec:v', 'mpeg1video',
  '-b:v', '1000k',
  '-r', '30',
  '-'
]);

ffmpeg.stdout.on('data', (chunk) => {
  wss.clients.forEach((client) => {
    if (client.readyState === WebSocket.OPEN) client.send(chunk);
  });
});

console.log('RTSP WebSocket broadcast proxy listening on ws://localhost:8080');
