MediaMTX
Single-binary media server for SRT, WebRTC, RTSP, RTMP, HLS, and MoQ, configured by one YAML file and a Control API.
Free
- I need to take an SRT or RTMP feed from a camera or OBS and hand it out as WebRTC and HLS from one box
- I want an agent to add camera paths, start recordings, and kick sessions over HTTP
- Control API is off by default and binds to localhost only; set api: yes and secure it before exposing
- No transcoding: MediaMTX routes and remuxes; use ffmpeg hooks if you need to change codecs
- Thin product surface by design; the value is the protocol matrix, not a UI
Ant Media Server
Open-core WebRTC, SRT, RTMP, and HLS media server with a REST API for broadcasts, recording, and tokens.
Community Edition · Enterprise Edition
- I need sub-second WebRTC playback for an auction or classroom and want to run the server myself
- I want an agent to spin up broadcasts, hand out tokens, and pull IP cameras through an API
- Adaptive bitrate transcoding
- Cluster across servers
- Two license files in the repo; GitHub shows 'other'. Community is Apache-2.0, Enterprise is not
- Adaptive bitrate, clustering, and the mobile SDKs are Enterprise-only; check the edition before promising features
- Java server with Tomcat; expect a heavier footprint than MediaMTX
