can work this as proxy rtsp server?

[Classsic]

Hi, is possible to launch a ffmpeg command on rtsp request to push to rtsp itself?
Please, I think this will useful to many people.
Thanks for your GREAT project.

@Classsic Thanks for your message!

Is this what you want to do?

1. Client requests node-rtsp-rtmp-server to play an RTSP stream.
2. node-rtsp-rtmp-server immediately launches ffmpeg, then ffmpeg receives a remote RTSP stream from remote server and forwards the stream to the client.
3. The client receives remote RTSP stream without directly communicating with the remote server.

If so, that's impossible at this time, but that would be a nice new feature.

Almost exactly:

   2.node-rtsp-rtmp-server immediately launches ffmpeg, then ffmpeg receives a remote RTSP stream from remote server and forwards the stream to the node-rtsp-rtmp-server.
   3.The client receives the stream from the same node-rtsp-rtmp-server ...
   I think if I can enlarge the timeout until ffmpeg can feed the node-rtsp-rtmp-server it can work.
   Is an idea.
   Please if, is possible, please pointme on the code, and I try work around.
   Thanks.

@Classsic When client requests rtsp://server-ip:80/live/test-stream-id, the client first sends DESCRIBE to server and respondDescribe method in rtsp.coffee is called. You can launch ffmpeg in respondDescribe method and set ffmpeg's output URL to rtmp://localhost/live/your-stream-id. After ffmpeg is properly set up, send a response to the DESCRIBE request. In theory this should work.
