Modules

go2rtc tries to name formats, protocols and codecs the same way they are named in FFmpeg. Some formats and protocols go2rtc supports exclusively. They have no equivalent in FFmpeg.

• The echo, expr, hass and onvif modules receive a link to a stream. They don't know the protocol in advance.
• The exec and ffmpeg modules support many formats. They are identical to the http module.
• The api, app, debug, ngrok, pinggy, srtp, streams are supporting modules.

Modules implement communication APIs: authorization, encryption, command set, structure of media packets.

Formats describe the structure of the data being transmitted.

Protocols implement transport for data transmission.
