Hi Agniva,

To use rtsp stream inside ffmpeg you need to run ffserver which is removed in latest version, but here I have created separate repo which can be used as rtsp stream, 

https://github.com/harshil1991/ffserver 

and just you need to pass your AVpacket in place of av read frame function.

Thanks
