#### real-time media server and media proxy

MediaMTX (formerly rtsp-simple-server) is a ready-to-use and zero-dependency
real-time media server and media proxy that allows to publish,
read, proxy, record and playback video and audio streams.
It has been conceived as a "media router" that routes media streams from one end to the other.

The configuration file can be edited via `/snap/mediamtx/current/mediamtx.yml`

Once the snap is installed, it is run as a daemon in the background. The service can be started/stopped using snap commands:

`snap stop mediamtx`
`snap start mediamtx`
`snap restart mediamtx`

This is not an official snap for MediaMTX. The code for packaging the snap can be found at <https://github.com/alexdlukens/mediamtx>,
and builds versions from the original codebase at <https://github.com/bluenviron/mediamtx.git>.
