It does not decode video or audio\u2014that responsibility falls to the caller, who can use external libraries like OpenCV or PyAV if needed. The library is designed for developers who want fine-grained control over RTSP session management and packet handling within an async Python application.\n\nThe package depends only on dpkt for packet parsing and supports Python 3.6 onward. It is in beta status and has not seen active development for nearly two years, though the repository remains available and the last commit is recent. It is suitable for stable, well-understood use cases but should be evaluated carefully if you need ongoing maintenance or support for emerging RTSP server implementations.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need low-level RTSP client control in an asyncio application and can accept a copyleft license. The install friction is minimal and there are no known vulnerabilities. However, the dormant maintenance status means you should not expect bug fixes or support for new RTSP features; use it for stable, well-tested scenarios or when you are prepared to maintain a fork if needed."},"id":"aiortsp","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/aiortsp","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/aiortsp.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/aiortsp/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-09-27","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"aiortsp","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"An asyncio-based RTSP library"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":104330,"position":12754,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.4.0"}
