send-h264 shows how to packetize H264 and send across the network via RTP

Instructions

Create H264 Annex-B file named output.h264

ffmpeg -f lavfi -i testsrc=duration=30:size=1280x720:rate=30 -c:v libx264 -bsf:v h264_mp4toannexb -b:v 2M -max_delay 0 -bf 0 -pix_fmt yuv420p output.h264

Run send-h264

Make sure your output.h264 is in the send-h264 directory. Then run the example.

go run .

This results in output like

The receiver will print metadata about the RTP packets. We send a RTP packet every 100 milliseconds, this is an arbitrary time. A real application would pace them correctly.
