RTSP
RTSP for most functions is similar to HTTP, but in a more advanced form. With the protocol you can manage the state of the connection and transmit data outside the parameters of the main stream. With RTSP requests are generated both from the server side and from the client side.
Commands
Data management is performed using the following basic commands:
- DESCRIBE – call the description of files contained on the server;
- OPTIONS – call the description of the protocol methods of this server;
- PLAY – command to start content broadcasting;
- PAUSE – temporary stop of the broadcast;
- RECORD – content recording;
- REDIRECT – command to switch to other content;
- ANNOUNCE – update content description;
- TEARDOWN – stopping the stream and clearing resources;
