SRS

What is SRS?

SRS (Simple Realtime Server) is an open-source video server designed for real-time streaming and video delivery. The platform supports multiple streaming protocols including RTMP, WebRTC, HLS, HTTP-FLV, SRT, MPEG-DASH, and GB28181, making it compatible with a wide range of streaming applications and use cases. Built for efficiency, SRS enables organizations to deploy live streaming solutions and WebRTC services either on cloud infrastructure or through self-hosted deployments. The project includes Oryx, a companion all-in-one solution that provides out-of-the-box functionality for creating online video services without requiring extensive configuration. SRS is primarily used by developers and organizations that need to build or operate video streaming infrastructure. Its open-source nature means the codebase is publicly available and community-driven, with active development maintained on GitHub. The platform serves use cases ranging from basic live streaming setups to more complex real-time video applications. As a free, open-source project, SRS has no licensing costs and allows users to modify and deploy the software according to their requirements. The project maintains multiple streaming protocol support, allowing flexibility in choosing delivery methods based on specific application needs and audience device compatibility.
