python-rtsp-client

A basic rtsp client writen in pure python

Getting Started

from rtsp import RTSPClient
myrtsp = RTSPClient(url='rtsp://username:password@hostname:port/path',callback=print)
try:
    myrtsp.do_describe()
    while myrtsp.state != 'describe':
        time.sleep(0.1)
    myrtsp.TRANSPORT_TYPE_LIST =  ['rtp_over_udp','rtp_over_tcp']
    myrtsp.do_setup(track_id)
    while myrtsp.state != 'setup':
        time.sleep(0.1)
    #Open socket to capture frames here
    myrtsp.do_play(rtsp.cur_range, rtsp.cur_scale)
except:
    myrtsp.do_teardown()

Examples

Usage: setupandplay.py [options] url

While running, you can control play by inputting "forward","backward","begin","live","pause"
or "play" a with "range" and "scale" parameter, such as "play range:npt=beginning- scale:2"
You can input "exit","teardown" or ctrl+c to quit
