Encode and stream content with Larix library
We provide streaming library with the apps framework to use it properly.
The content is encoded in H.264 (AVC) and H.265 (HEVC) video with AAC audio.
Streaming is performed via RTSP/RTSPS, RTMP/RTMPS and SRT protocols.
Larix supports transmission of HEVC over RTMP as non-standard experimental feature.
