How to rebroadcast a video stream from rtsp to mp4?

Question

Nginx

Good day.
I got acquainted with the wonderful nginx-rtmp-module, which, in principle, ideally performs the function of relaying rtsp to the rtmp protocol. But I see the following problem, rtmp on the browser side can only play flash (jwplayer). Please tell me how to make a stream in mp4 for example? That in the browser it could work directly without any plug-ins?

Answer 1

"Stream to MP4" is not entirely correct. You need the output to have a transport protocol that is understood by the end devices. If RTMP is not suitable, then only HLS or MPEG-DASH remain. They have recently had good support in browsers without the use of Flash, and HLS is a native format for iOS and Macs, but Android 4+ understands it well. On the desktop, there are players that also understand it without flash plugins, for example, bitdash. By the way, he also plays DASH very well.
