RTSP Server

This component sets up an RTSP server to handle the live feed from the Ring doorbell and make it accessible for further processing.

Step 1: Download the Server

First, download the MediaMTX server files suitable for your machine from the following link:

Choose the appropriate version for your operating system (e.g., Windows, macOS, Linux) and download the package.

Step 2: Configure the Server

The configuration file mediamtx.yml is provided in this repository. Ensure you have this file in the same directory where you downloaded the server.

Step 3: Run the Server

Open a terminal or command prompt and navigate to the directory where you downloaded the MediaMTX server and the configuration file.

Run the server using the following command:

./mediamtx -config mediamtx.yml

If you're on Windows, the command might be:

mediamtx.exe -config mediamtx.yml

Ensure that the server is running and listening on the configured port.

Verifying the Setup

To verify that the server is running correctly, you can use an RTSP client such as VLC media player. Open VLC, go to Media > Open Network Stream, and enter the following URL:

rtsp://localhost:8554/live

If everything is set up correctly, you should be able to see the live feed from the Ring doorbell.

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure that the RTSP server address and port match the configuration in other parts of the project.
  • Check for any firewall or network issues that might be blocking the RTSP stream.

For more detailed information and advanced configuration options, refer to the MediaMTX documentation.
