Versions:
MediaMTX 1.17.1, published by bluenviron, is a lightweight, zero-dependency media server and proxy engineered for real-time streaming workflows across SRT, WebRTC, RTSP, RTMP, and LL-HLS protocols. Conceived as a “media router,” the application ingests live video and audio from cameras, encoders, or other sources, then instantly re-publishes, proxies, records, or replays those streams to players, content-delivery networks, or downstream production tools without requiring external codecs or frameworks. Typical deployments include powering IP-camera surveillance hubs, enabling low-latency WebRTC broadcasts from OBS or browser-based encoders, relaying RTMP contributions to secondary CDNs, recording conference feeds to disk, or exposing legacy RTSP devices to modern HLS playlists. The single-binary distribution runs on Windows as an unobtrusive background service, consuming minimal CPU while handling dozens of concurrent streams; configuration is declarative through a single YAML file, letting administrators map ingest URLs to outbound paths, set authentication tokens, choose storage directories, or toggle protocol-specific options such as SRT latency or LL-HLS segment size. After twenty incremental releases the project has matured into a stable production utility used by broadcasters, IoT vendors, and educational institutions that need a portable, license-free alternative to heavyweight multimedia gateways. MediaMTX is available for free on get.nero.com, where downloads are supplied through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always deliver the latest version, and support batch installation of multiple applications.
