Fake RTSP Stream

Requirements:

• docker installed
• docker-compose installed

Features:

• stream as many RTSP streams from local files as you want;
• streams are translated in a loop;
• source is FFmpeg, so you can utilize its power to implement extra transformations, transcoding, etc.

To understand what to do next, look at docker-compose.yml; it provides all the necessary information to understand what to do to add additional RTSP sources.

Running the Streaming

To run the streaming, type docker-compose up or docker-compose up -d if you want to launch in the background.

To get the access to streams use: rtsp://machine-ip:8554/<stream-name> URL.

Additional Configuration

To have a stable IP, which is convenient for development purposes, in Linux, you can set up a dummy network device like that:

auto dummy0
iface dummy0 inet static
  address 10.0.0.1
  netmask 255.255.255.0
  pre-up rmmod dummy; modprobe dummy numdummies=1

Now, you will be able to connect to RTSP streams on rtsp://10.0.0.1:8554/<name> URL.
