## What it is
MediaMTX is a zero-dependency live media server and proxy written in Go that routes real-time video and audio streams across protocols including Media-over-QUIC, SRT, WebRTC, RTSP, RTMP, LL-HLS, MPEG-TS and RTP. It supports publishing, reading, protocol conversion, recording to disk, playback, authentication, forwarding, and Prometheus metrics, all from a single executable.

## Use cases
- run an RTSP server for IP cameras
- convert RTSP streams to WebRTC or HLS for browsers
- proxy and relay streams from cameras behind NAT
- record live video streams to disk and play them back
- publish streams from OBS Studio or FFmpeg and view them in VLC
- forward live streams to YouTube or Twitch
- build a low-latency live streaming server with WebRTC or LL-HLS
- serve Raspberry Pi camera streams over the network

## When to choose
- you need a single self-contained binary or Docker image with no dependencies
- you must bridge between multiple streaming protocols (RTSP, RTMP, WebRTC, SRT, HLS, MoQ)
- you want recording, playback, proxying and forwarding in one media server
- you need hot-reloadable configuration and a control API for automation

## When to avoid
- you need heavy transcoding or video processing rather than routing
- you need a full CDN or large-scale distribution beyond a single server
- you need a GUI-centric media management platform rather than a config-driven server

## Facets
