Why SRS?

  1. Completely rewrite HLS following m3u8/ts spec, and HLS support h.264+aac/mp3.
  2. High efficient RTMP deliverying support 7k+ concurrency, vhost based, both origin and edge.
  3. Embeded simplified media HTTP server for HLS, api and HTTP flv/ts/mp3/aac streaming.
  4. Variety input: RTMP, pull by ingest file or stream(HTTP/RTMP/RTSP), push by stream caster RTSP/MPEGTS-over-UDP.
  5. Popular internet delivery: RTMP/HDS for flash, HLS for mobile(IOS/IPad/MAC/Android), HTTP flv/ts/mp3/aac streaming for user prefered.
  6. Enhanced DVR and hstrs: segment/session/append plan, customer path and HTTP callback. the hstrs(http stream trigger rtmp source) enable the http-flv stream standby util encoder start publish, similar to rtmp, which will trigger edge to fetch from origin.
  7. Multiple feature: transcode, forward, ingest, http hooks, dvr, hls, rtsp, http streaming, http api, refer, log, bandwith test and srs-librtmp.
  8. Best maintainess: simple arch over state-threads(coroutine), single thread, single process and for linux/osx platform, common server x86-64/i386/arm/mips cpus, rich comments, strictly follows RTMP/HLS/RTSP spec.
  9. Easy to use: both English and Chinese wiki, typically config files in trunk/conf, traceable and session based log, linux service script and install script.
  10. MIT license, open source with product management and evolution.

Enjoy it!

About

SRS(Simple RTMP Server) over state-threads created in 2013.10.

SRS delivers rtmp/hls/http/hds live on x86/x64/arm/mips linux/osx, supports origin/edge/vhost and transcode/ingest and dvr/forward and http-api/http-callback/reload, introduces tracable session-oriented log, exports client srs-librtmp, with stream caster to push MPEGTS-over-UDP/RTSP to SRS, provides EN/CN wiki and the most simple architecture.

AUTHORS

There are two types of people that have contributed to the SRS project:

  • AUTHORS: Contribute important features. Names of all PRIMARY response in NetConnection.connect and metadata.
  • CONTRIBUTORS: Submit patches, report bugs, add translations, help answer newbie questions, and generally make SRS that much better.

About all PRIMARY, AUTHORS and CONTRIBUTORS, read AUTHORS.txt.

A big THANK YOU goes to:

  • All friends of SRS for big supports.
  • Genes amd Mabbott for creating st(state-threads).
  • Michael Talyanksy for introducing us to use st.
  • Roman Arutyunyan for creating nginx-rtmp for SRS to refer to.
  • Joyent for creating http-parser for http-api for SRS.
  • Igor Sysoev for creating nginx for SRS to refer to.
  • FFMPEG and libx264 group for SRS to use to transcode.

Latency benchmark

The latency between encoder and player with realtime config(CN, EN): |

Update SRS VP6 H.264 VP6+MP3 H.264+MP3
2014-12-03 1.0.10 0.4s 0.4s 0.9s 1.2s
2014-12-12 2.0.70 0.1s 0.4s 1.0s 0.9s
2014-12-16 2.0.72 0.1s 0.4s 0.8s 0.6s

We use FMLE as encoder for benchmark. The latency of server is 0.1s+, and the bottleneck is the encoder. For more information, read bug #257.

HLS overhead

About the HLS overhead of SRS, we compare the overhead to FLV by remux the HLS to FLV by ffmpeg.

Bitrate Duration FLV(KB) HLS(KB) Overhead
275kbps 600s 11144 12756 14.46%
260kbps 1860s 59344 68004 14.59%

5158kbps 1327s 835664 858092 2.68%

The HLS overhead is calc by: (HLS - FLV) / FLV * 100%.

The overhead is larger than this benchmark(48kbps audio is best overhead), for we fix the #512.

Architecture

SRS always use the most simple architecture to support complex transaction.

  • System arch: the system structure and arch.
  • Modularity arch: the main modularity of SRS.
  • Stream arch: the stream dispatch arch of SRS.

Remark:
(1) Encoder: encoder must push RTMP stream to SRS server.
(2) MediaSource: any media source, which can be ingest by ffmpeg.
(3) Ingester: SRS will fork a process to run ffmpeg(or your application) 
to ingest any input to rtmp, push to SRS. Read Ingest.
(4) Streamer: SRS will listen for some protocol and accept stream push 
over some protocol and remux to rtmp to SRS. Read Streamer.
