Srt: Multiple clients with SRT

[amukhsimov]

Hello community! I have a question about pulling SRT stream. Is it possible for multiple clients pull one stream?

I have tried to push SRT to server (on server side started a listener with srt-live-transmit) and connected from another IP for pulling, it went OK, then I have tried the same from another IP, it could't pull. I have searched in forums and read issue #574, it was told that srt-live-transmit supports only one connection, so can anyone tell, is there any tool or way to support multiple connections (clients) ?

It can be done, but you will likely need to write it yourself.

1. Create local srt socket, I use non-blocking.
2. create a thread and epoll that socket for events,
3. On new event, check and add new remote socket to a container.
4. In your other main "output" thread, iterate on container and write to each socket.

It is very TCP-like nature. The example app in the code, recvlive.cpp is a pretty good starting point with connection management in serverThread() function.

Thank you @midicase for your answer, I begin understanding, will try to implement.

Hello Guys! Just finished the first release version of my srt-server, for now the server receives data on one port and multicast on another port. Tested just today with 15-20 pulls.
