Ingesting SRT streams¶

Flussonic supports ingesting SRT streams. Read more about SRT at Using SRT protocol.

SRT ingest URL¶

For Flussonic to ingest an SRT stream, you should create a stream with the input URL formatted according to one of the options below:

• Ingest using IP:PORT:

  srt://SRT-SOURCE:SRT_PORT

• SRT parameters in the URL parameters:

  srt://SRT-SOURCE:SRT_PORT streamid="#!::m=request,r=STREAM_NAME"

• SRT parameters in the URL query string:

  srt://SRT-SOURCE:SRT_PORT?streamid=#!::m=request,r=STREAM_NAME

where:

• SRT-SOURCE is an IP address of an SRT source server.
• SRT_PORT is an SRT port of an SRT source server.
• streamid is a string formatted as described here.
• r=STREAM_NAME is the name of a stream to ingest.

For example:

stream ingest_srt {
  input srt://SRT-SOURCE:8888 streamid="#!::m=request,r=srt_stream";
}

In the example above we enabled an ingest of an srt_stream stream over port 8888.

Parameters for an SRT ingest¶

Flussonic allows you to manage the ingest of the SRT streams by setting parameters.

Example with passphrase:

stream ingest_srt {
  input srt://SRT-SOURCE:9999 passphrase=0987654321 streamid="#!::m=request";
}

or:

stream ingest_srt {
  input srt://SRT-SOURCE:9999?streamid=#!::m=request&passphrase=0987654321;
}

In the examples above we secured stream port 9999 with passphrase.

Besides, here you can find a few parameters to specify in streamid as well:

• u=USERNAME is a username. Flussonic uses it as a token for an ingest session authorization.
• a=USER_AGENT is a user agent. Used in the ingest session authorization.
