How to stream RTSP live video in Firefox and Chrome now that the VLC plugin is not supported anymore?
After a long time digging and following this topic I have came to interesting results.At this point the best option seems to be an RTSP proxy that changes RTSP in a way that makes it compatible with something supported by web browsers (WebRTC, etc.).
I have collected the following solutions:
- https://github.com/Streamedian/html5_rtsp_player RTSP - Proxy - JSPlayer (nodeJS)
- https://github.com/lulop-k/kurento-rtsp2webrtc RTSP -WebRTC Proxy - Browser (nodeJS)
- Others in nodeJS -https://www.pincer.io/npm/tags/rtsp

- Native browser Video Player with HTML5 Video tag + WebSocket RTSPproxyhttps://github.com/SpecForge/html5_rtsp_player/wiki/HTML5-RTSP-Player~
For the future I expect:
- Video Camera manufacturers will start to implement protocols likeWebRTC and MPEGdash
- Web Browsers SHOULD implement RTSP but this is probably not going to happen
