📡 RTSP Proxy (Fanout to Multiple Nodes)

A lightweight RTSP Proxy server written in Go, powered by gortsplib/v5. It acts as a bridge between RTSP clients and servers, with the ability to fanout streams to multiple destination nodes.

⸻

✨ Features • Accepts client connections and handles RTSP methods (OPTIONS, DESCRIBE, SETUP, PLAY, TEARDOWN). • Proxies and forwards requests to multiple RTSP backend nodes. • Fanout streaming to distribute load across multiple servers. • Simple and extensible code base.
