The server supports ingesting MPEG-TS streams, shipped in two different ways (UDP packets or Unix sockets).

In order to read a UDP MPEG-TS stream, edit mediamtx.yml and replace everything inside section paths with the following content:

yml

paths:
  mypath:
    source: udp+mpegts://238.0.0.1:1234

Where 238.0.0.1 is the IP for listening packets, in this case a multicast IP.

If the listening IP is a multicast IP, MediaMTX will listen for incoming packets on the default multicast interface, picked by the operating system. It is possible to specify the interface manually by using the interface parameter:

yml

paths:
  mypath:
    source: udp+mpegts://238.0.0.1:1234?interface=eth0

It is possible to restrict who can send packets by using the source parameter:

yml

paths:
  mypath:
    source: udp+mpegts://0.0.0.0:1234?source=192.168.3.5

Some clients that can publish with UDP and MPEG-TS are FFmpeg and GStreamer.

Unix sockets are more efficient than UDP packets and can be used as transport by specifying the unix+mpegts scheme:

yml

paths:
  mypath:
    source: unix+mpegts:///tmp/socket.sock
