```bash
./objs/srs -c conf/rtmps.conf
```
Publish RTMPS stream by FFmpeg:
```bash
ffmpeg -re -i doc/source.flv -c copy -f flv rtmps://localhost:1443/live/livetream
```
Play RTMPS stream by ffplay:
```bash
ffplay rtmps://localhost:1443/live/livetream

## Introduce
This PR adds support for viewing streams via the RTSP protocol. Note
that it only supports viewing streams, not publishing streams via RTSP.
Currently, only publishing via RTMP is supported, which is then
converted to RTSP. Further work is needed to support publishing RTC/SRT
streams and converting them to RTSP.
## Usage
Build and run SRS with RTSP support:
```
cd srs/trunk && ./configure --rtsp=on && make -j16
./objs/srs -c conf/rtsp.conf
```
Push stream via RTMP by FFmpeg:
```
ffmpeg -re -i doc/source.flv -c copy -f flv rtmp://localhost/live/livestream
```
View the stream via RTSP protocol, try UDP first, then use TCP:
```
ffplay -i rtsp://localhost:8554/live/livestream
```
Or specify the transport protocol with TCP:
```
ffplay -rtsp_transport tcp -i rtsp://localhost:8554/live/livestream
```
## Unit Test
Run utest for RTSP:
```
./configure --utest=on & make utest -j16
./objs/srs_utest
```
## Regression Test
You need to start SRS for regression testing.
```
./objs/srs -c conf/regression-test-for-clion.conf
```
Then run regression tests for RTSP.
```
cd srs/trunk/3rdparty/srs-bench
go test ./srs -mod=vendor -v -count=1 -run=TestRtmpPublish_RtspPlay
```
## Blackbox Test
For blackbox testing, SRS will be started by utest, so there is no need
to start SRS manually.
```
cd srs/trunk/3rdparty/srs-bench
go test ./blackbox -mod=vendor -v -count=1 -run=TestFast_RtmpPublish_RtspPlay_Basic
```
## UDP Transport
As UDP requires port allocation, this PR doesn't support delivering
media stream via UDP transport, so it will fail if you try to use UDP as
transport:
```
ffplay -rtsp_transport udp -i rtsp://localhost:8554/live/livestream
[rtsp @ 0x7fbc99a14880] method SETUP failed: 461 Unsupported Transport
rtsp://localhost:8554/live/livestream: Protocol not supported
[2025-07-05 21:30:52.738][WARN][14916][7d7gf623][35] RTSP: setup failed: code=2057
(RtspTransportNotSupported) : UDP transport not supported, only TCP/interleaved mode is supported
```
There are no plans to support UDP transport for RTSP. In the real world,
UDP is rarely used; the vast majority of RTSP traffic uses TCP.
## Play Before Publish
RTSP supports audio with AAC and OPUS codecs, which is significantly
different from RTMP or WebRTC.
RTSP uses commands to exchange SDP and specify the audio track to play,
unlike WHEP or HTTP-FLV, which use the query string of the URL. RTSP
depends on the player’s behavior, making it very difficult to use and
describe.
Considering the feature that allows playing the stream before publishing
it, it requires generating some default parameters in the SDP. For OPUS,
the sample rate is 48 kHz with 2 channels, while AAC is more complex,
especially regarding the sample rate, which may be 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz, or
48 kHz.
Therefore, for RTSP, we cannot support play-then-publish. Instead, there
must already be a stream when playing it, so that the audio codec is
determined.
## Opus Codec
No Opus codec support for RTSP, because for RTC2RTSP, it always converts
RTC to RTMP frames, then converts them to RTSP packets. Therefore, the
audio codec is always AAC after converting RTC to RTMP.
This means the bridge architecture needs some changes. We need a new
bridge that binds to the target protocol. For example, RTC2RTMP converts
the audio codec, but RTC2RTSP keeps the original audio codec.
Furthermore, the RTC2RTMP bridge should also support bypassing the Opus
codec if we use enhanced-RTMP, which supports the Opus audio codec. I
think it should be configurable to either transcode or bypass the audio
codec. However, this is not relevant to RTSP.

1. Remove the srs_global_dispose, which causes the crash when still
publishing when quit.
2. Always call _srs_thread_pool->initialize for single thread.
3. Support `--signal-api` to send signal by HTTP API, because CLion
eliminate the signals.

New features for valgrind:
1. ST: Support /api/v1/valgrind for leaking check.
2. ST: Support /api/v1/valgrind?check=full|added|changed|new|quick
To use Valgrind to detect memory leaks in SRS, even though Valgrind
hooks are supported in ST, there are still many false positives. A more
reasonable approach is to have Valgrind report incremental memory leaks.
This way, global and static variables can be avoided, and detection can
be achieved without exiting the program. Follow these steps:
1. Compile SRS with Valgrind support: `./configure --valgrind=on &&
make`
2. Start SRS with memory leak detection enabled: `valgrind
--leak-check=full ./objs/srs -c conf/console.conf`
3. Trigger memory detection by using curl to access the API and generate
calibration data. There will still be many false positives, but these
can be ignored: `curl http://127.0.0.1:1985/api/v1/valgrind?check=added`
4. Perform load testing or test the suspected leaking functionality,
such as RTMP streaming: `ffmpeg -re -i doc/source.flv -c copy -f flv
rtmp://127.0.0.1/live/livestream`
5. Stop streaming and wait for SRS to clean up the Source memory,
approximately 30 seconds.
6. Perform incremental memory leak detection. The reported leaks will be
very accurate at this point: `curl
http://127.0.0.1:1985/api/v1/valgrind?check=added`
> Note: To avoid interference from the HTTP request itself on Valgrind,
SRS uses a separate coroutine to perform periodic checks. Therefore,
after accessing the API, you may need to wait a few seconds for the
detection to be triggered.

1. Add live benchmark support in srs-bench, which only connects and
disconnects without any media transport, to test source creation and
disposal and verify source memory leaks.
2. SmartPtr: Support cleanup of HTTP-FLV stream. Unregister the HTTP-FLV
handler for the pattern and clean up the objects and resources.
3. Support benchmarking RTMP/SRT with srs-bench by integrating the gosrt
and oryx RTMP libraries.
4. Refine SRT and RTC sources by using a timer to clean up the sources,
following the same strategy as the Live source.

The object relations:

Session manages SIP and Media object using shared resource or shared
ptr. Note that I actually use SrsExecutorCoroutine to delete the object
when each coroutine is done, because there is always a dedicate
coroutine for each object.
For SIP and Media object, they directly use the session by raw pointer,
it's safe because session always live longer than session and media
object.

## Reload Error Ignore
During a Reload, several stages will be passed through:
1. Parsing new configurations: Parse.
2. Transforming configurations: Transform.
3. Applying configurations: Apply.
Previously, any error at any stage would result in a direct exit, making
the system completely dependent on configuration checks:
```bash
./objs/srs -c conf/srs.conf -t
echo $?
#0
```
Optimized to: If an error occurs before applying the configuration, it
can be ignored. If an error occurs during the application of the
configuration, some of the configuration may have already taken effect,
leading to unpredictable behavior, so SRS will exit directly.
## Reload Fetch API
Added a new HTTP API to query the result of the reload.
```nginx
http_api {
enabled on;
raw_api {
enabled on;
allow_reload on;
}
}
```
```bash
curl http://localhost:1985/api/v1/raw?rpc=reload-fetch
```
```json
{
"code": 0,
"data": {
"err": 0,
"msg": "Success",
"state": 0,
"rid": "0s6y0n9"
}
}
{
"code": 0,
"data": {
"err": 1023,
"msg": "code=1023(ConfigInvalid) : parse file : parse buffer containers/conf/srs.release-local.conf : root parse : parse dir : parse include buffer containers/data/config/srs.vhost.conf : read token, line=0, state=0 : line 3: unexpected end of file, expecting ; or \"}\"",
"state": 1,
"rid": "0g4z471"
}
}
```
This way, you can know if the last reload of the system was successful.
