Rtsp Stress Test

rtsp-stress-test

Use this skill to measure RTSP stability and compare UDP/TCP behavior with reproducible sessions.

When to use

• You need evidence for packet loss, decode errors, or delay spikes.
• You want to compare bitrate/GOP/FPS tuning impact.
• You need per-session logs to share with developers.

Workflow

1. Run baseline (no config changes):
   • ./scripts/rtsp-stress-test.sh --camera <ip>
2. Run the recommended scenario matrix:
   • ./scripts/rtsp-stress-test.sh --camera <ip> --server-log /mnt/nfs/prudynt.log --recommended-matrix
3. Compare transport behavior:
   • UDP: --transport udp
   • TCP: --transport tcp
4. Adjust repetition and depth as needed:
   • --sessions <n>
   • --duration <seconds>
   • --pause <seconds>
   • --output-dir <dir>
5. Review scenario summaries for:
   • RTP packet loss
   • max delay reached
   • decoder/concealment errors

Notes

• Host requirements include ssh, ffplay, ffmpeg, python3, and timeout.
• SSH must be non-interactive for automation.
• Scenario format is label:bitrate:fps:gop:est_bitrate (- keeps a field unchanged).
