This is a very simple asyncio library for interacting with an RTSP server, with basic RTP/RTCP support.

The intended use case is to provide a pretty low level control of what happens at RTSP connection level, all in python/asyncio.

This library does not provide any decoding capability, it is up to the client to decide what to do with received RTP packets.

One could easily decode using OpenCV <https://pypi.org/project/opencv-python/> or PyAV <https://pypi.org/project/av/>, or not at all depending on the intended use.

See examples for how to use the lib internals, butfor quick usage:

.. code-block:: python3

import asyncio
from aiortsp.rtsp.reader import RTSPReader

async def main():
    # Open a reader (which means RTSP connection, then media session)
    async with RTSPReader('rtsp://cam/video.sdp') as reader:
        # Iterate on RTP packets
        async for pkt in reader.iter_packets():
            print('PKT', pkt.seq, pkt.pt, len(pkt))

asyncio.run(main())
