This PR introduces support for Unix domain sockets in MediaMTX as an alternative to the default UDP-based transport. The goal is to enable low-latency, secure, and efficient video streaming between local processes.
✨ What's New
Unix Socket Support: MediaMTX can now stream video through Unix domain sockets.
Configurable Transport: Added new configuration options to toggle between udp and unix_socket transport modes.
Socket Path Setting: Users can define a custom Unix socket path in the configuration file.
🧪 Testing
Verified video stream delivery over Unix sockets.
Confirmed compatibility with existing MediaMTX consumers (when using either transport).
📚 Configuration Example
The feature is opt-in; no changes are required for existing configurations.
Logging enhancements added for better socket-level debugging.
