This application ingests one MPEG-TS over SRT stream and outputs to WebRTC recvonly clients using WHEP as signaling protocol. Example of use cases:
Supports SRT streams in caller and listener mode. Runs on MacOS and Ubuntu.
To quickly try it out on Linux machine, you can use the Docker Container image published on Docker Hub:
First, generate an SRT test source stream for example using our testsrc container:
docker run --rm -p 1234:1234/udp eyevinntechnology/testsrc
An SRT stream (in listener mode) is then available at srt://127.0.0.1:1234:
docker run --rm --network host eyevinntechnology/srt-whep \
-i 127.0.0.1:1234 \
-o 0.0.0.0:8888 \
-p 8000 -s caller
It will connect to the SRT test stream in caller mode as the generated SRT stream is in listener mode.
WHEP endpoint is available at http://localhost:8000/channel. You can then play it for example using the WHEP Player. Possible issues are discussed in Issues.
Requirements: - XCode command line tools installed - GStreamer binaries from GStreamer's website installed - Rust and cargo installed
Make sure you have the following env variables defined:
export PATH=$PATH:/Library/Frameworks/GStreamer.framework/Versions/Current/bin
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/Library/Frameworks/GStreamer.framework/Versions/Current/lib/pkgconfig
export GST_PLUGIN_PATH=/Library/Frameworks/GStreamer.framework/Versions/Current/lib
export DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH=$GST_PLUGIN_PATH
Build with Cargo
cargo check
cargo install bunyan # Optional, for pretty printing of logs
cargo build --release
The binary is then available at ./target/release/srt-whep. See below for how to run it.
Requirements: - Rust and cargo installed

cargo install bunyan # Optional, for pretty printing of logs
cargo build --release
The binary is then available at ./target/release/srt-whep. See below for how to run it.
Build container (uses multi-stage builds):
docker build -t srt-whep:dev .
Container must be running in host-mode (only works on Linux hosts, and is not supported on Docker Desktop for Mac, Docker Desktop for Windows)
docker run --rm --network host srt-whep:dev \
-i <SRT_SOURCE_IP>:<SRT_SOURCE_PORT> \
-o 0.0.0.0:8888 \
-p 8000 -s caller
To ingest an SRT stream with address srt://127.0.0.1:1234 in listener mode and expose WHEP endpoint on port 8000 run the application with this command.
cargo run --release -- -i 127.0.0.1:1234 -o 127.0.0.1:8888 -p 8000 -s caller | bunyan
This will also make a pass-through of the SRT stream on srt://127.0.0.1:8888 in listener mode. To watch the pass-through stream in ffplay, VLC or GStreamer you run:
``` ffplay srt://127.0.0.1:8888
gst-launch-1.0 playbin uri="srt://127.0.0.1:8888" ```
WHEP endpoint is available then at http://localhost:8000/channel. You can then play it for example using the WHEP Player.
If the SRT stream to ingest is in caller mode you run the application with this command.
cargo run --release -- -i 127.0.0.1:1234 -o 127.0.0.1:8888 -p 8000 -s listener | bunyan
This also expects the SRT address 127.0.0.1:8888 to be running in caller mode.
gst-inspect-1.0 <plugin>. For example, gst-inspect-1.0 srtsink.It's possible to generate a test SRT stream using GStreamer for debugging purpose. Please refer to macOS or Ubuntu.
To get more verbose logging you can set the GST_DEBUG environment variable to 2. For example, run in terminal: export GST_DEBUG=2
