Does SRT use less bandwidth than RTMP?
The answer is a bit more complicated than a straight yes or no. In order to find the answer, we need to take a closer look at how these two protocols actually work.

Excellent explanation. I've been in IT for 30 years and haven't heard TCP, UDP and RTMP described that clearly. Wow!

One thing to note. RTMP is very useful for youtube still. I know that even if I drop frames while live, eventually my encoder / the tcp stack will send up the missing packets (if possible and successful). KZfaq then in post processing re-inserts the missing frames. I know this because I once was down for almost two minutes due to an ISP issue, then when I watched the replay, nothing was missing at the drop of the outage. I was shocked.

Any decent streaming server can do that. But for the live viewers, the stream was still interrupted or stalled.

@@wassagtmanndazu yes. That’s right. The point was that srt just drops it and doesn’t re-attempt to send it, but rtmp will retry. It’s important for vods. Yes, live viewers will still see buffering during the show. If the dropped frames are not re-sent, then the vod will have skips where srt didn’t care to resend the data.

thank you for explaining the differences! now it would also be nice if drones and apps in general also add support for SRT. that being said, as a YBP user I guess even if they add SRT support, it will likely not support h265. which begs the question, is there a negotiation when an SRT connection is established which codecs both sides support or does this need to be manually configured? Edit: oh and it would be amazing to explain the differences to NDI next.

A very good summary. Thank you. It is striking that the advertising for SRT often emphasizes that better quality would be possible. And then visual examples are used to compare it with an RTSP (!) live stream with packet loss. With RTSP (protocol from the 90s) there are many blocking artifacts and it looks bad, with SRT it looks good. However, live streams are very rarely transmitted via RTSP these days (still a good option for IP cameras, for example). In addition, there is usually very little or no packet loss. RTMP therefore transmits absolutely smoothly in most cases and 99% of all live streams worldwide run via RTMP. However, if you transmit via mobile network or from one continent to another, SRT has noticeable advantages. In normal everyday life, however, it makes virtually no difference. Assuming there is only 4 mbit/s upload available and a FullHD stream is to be transmitted at 3.8 mbit/s, then there are potential problems with RTMP. And SRT can be the deciding factor. In this case, it would be far better not to think about SRT or RTMP, but to optimize the stream to 3 mbits. Or better yet, both. But if an upload of 50 or even 100 mbit/s is normal today, and KZfaq re-encodes the FullHD live stream at 5 to 8 mbit/s anyway if you deliver with a higher data rate (but with the original stream if it is transmitted at 8 mbit/s), these data rates run super smoothly through the line using RTMP.

Great simplistic overview. Very helpful to those without a networking background. Thanks. Going into issues of how routers handle video streams without QOS tagging would be really getting into the weeds a bit, but might help people understand the differences between running video over a LAN vs through the actual internet.

Great description. I would describe SRT is latency aware rather than video aware - it knows nothing about the data and can be used to transport things other than video. I'm surprised there hasn't been a more video aware transport gain traction - e.g. one that knows when link is congested to prioritise audio, then 'I' frames, then other frames - ideally linked to the encoder to automatically adjust compression levels when needed. I guess there are solutions, just not open ones.

That's fair, there are also some other simplifications I made in the description, so don't go write your SRT code in your video encoder based on what you heard in this video, but overall I think it gets the point across 😃 That would be very cool to have an even more video-aware protocol though!

i would like to see a video from you where you use a Magewell mini or a Yolobox Ultra to send a remote livestream using srt to an hdmi or sdi input on a Blackmagic mini. It would have an explanation of port forwarding and and using something like Wireguard to protect that open port. I believe this would be better than making a personal rtmp server. Thanks for any consideration.

Question, if you stream h265, does that mean the viewers player needs to be a h265 decoder or does the streaming server usually transcode it? What about HLS?
@aaronpk
@aaronpk 2 ай бұрын
Usually when we talk about streaming encoding we're talking about the link from the encoder to the platform like KZfaq, and the platform will convert that to a suitable format for distributing to viewers. Most of the time that's converting it to HLS segments, usually h264

@@aaronpk HLS is always h.264. It cannot be h.265 and, for example, not webm. For a free (advertising-financed) service, this is not important to the user. Wherever a customer pays for the service, it is relevant, because converting from h265 to h264 is complex and costs CPU cores. Or a server with a powerful GPU has to be paid for.
