This project implements a simple video streaming demo using RTSP for control and RTP for data transport. The server sends frames from a MJPEG file and the client displays them in a small Tkinter GUI.

Requirements

• Python 3.8 or newer
• Pillow for image display (pip install Pillow)
• Tkinter (usually included with Python, may require the python3-tk package on Linux)

Starting the server

Run the server by passing the port number on which it should listen for RTSP connections:

python Server.py <server_port>

Example:

python Server.py 8554

The video file (movie.Mjpeg by default) must be present in the same directory as Server.py.

Starting the client

Launch the client with the address of the server, the server's RTSP port, the local RTP port you want to use and the filename to request:

python ClientLauncher.py <server_addr> <server_port> <rtp_port> <video_file>

Example:

python ClientLauncher.py localhost 8554 25000 movie.Mjpeg

This command opens the Tkinter interface with buttons to setup, play, pause and teardown the stream.
