# stream-server

Extremely basic live stream server

Currently implements a degraded subset of RTMP and SRT for ingest. Encryption for SRT is implemented with AES-CTR with hardcoded passphrase "srttestpass". Only 16-byte keys have been tested, but nothing should stop the implementation from having problems in principle

Uses the std lib http server implementation for the http serving side.

**Not intended for actual use**. The stream key use is not secure and is used to handle directories without a user db system, than to provide auth. Same goes for the SRT passphrase. Also just accepts connections so will get DDOS'd immediately.

**Update**: main branch has been tested over a network. RTMP should now work fine, SRT "works" with a few modifications. The RTT ping log-buffer slice must be extended depending on network latency (try ~2x latency/10ms, could adjust automatically, but eh). Also will inevitably crash on poor connections due to the lack of DROPSEQ handling, but will work perfectly fine during the initial 3-10s you get.

Limits to a single stream at a time, mostly for the lack of db to handle connections and user information rather than concurrency problems.

Currently always transcodes to vp9 + opus, segments to fragmented mp4. Creates one segment playlist, no manifest. Uses ffmpeg

HTTP streaming relies on hls-player-js. Will be broken for standard hls players until I figure out how to modify the `EXT-X-MAP:URI` field to prepend a path prefix without changing directories. Or finish the transcoder project

Currently produces no logs nor debug info. Will just abandon a connection if there is a problem. Will not send any RTMP replies since flash server docs seem dead and abort messages are netStream commands.

Ports are hard-coded into main.go. Modify if needed

Run with `go run main.go`. Could also build if you prefer that instead.
