Any plans to add SRT support?

Any plans to add SRT over UDP with stream keys/authentication?

A very welcome addition!

I support the idea of implementing the SRT protocol.

With one ffmpeg call, an incoming SRT stream can transmuxed into HLS/DASH, which is described here: https://github.com/Haivision/srt/issues/371#issuecomment-389494674 If the -hls_segment_type fmp4 option works here, things like alternate audio tracks and FLAC support are on. (FLAC in HLS works with fmp4 enabled, see here: https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/issues/4635#issuecomment-997041580)

I still need to test it, but if this works, it could open some great options. An implementation like described above would not take advantage of SRT's great latency, but I wouldn't consider this critical if videos are streamed for entertainment or similar issues.

IMHO a bounty should be set up for this feature, and I'd be glad to donate. It could provide the "giant leap" for node media server to offer an advanced, much more powerful streaming protocol. RTMP/FLV is widespread and well known to work, but lacking some functionality.

@illuspas : is there an official or preferred way for setting up a bounty, such as bountysource?

This would be awesome! @illuspas
