Which protocol to use for multi-stream application ? RTMP?

Question

I'm trying to stream several iPad screen to a single python client (computer) on a local.network but I don't know which protocol to use. I can do it with 1 Ipad using MonaServer , an app that stream on RTMP and a little Python script to read the video. But I am dealing with problems to use several Ipads because as I saw RTMP uses a single port on Windows, :1935 and I am not sure it's possible to multi-stream with RTMP. I am not a pro with.networking, so if you have any suggestions I'm open

What you need is to following the wiki and usage of open source projects, to get some instincts about multiple clients live streaming.

For example, you could use OBS to publish some streams to a media server, like SRS , play it by different protocols like RTMP/HTTP-FLV/HLS/WebRTC.

You could publish multiple streams, they are not mutually exclusive. And play by different players, depends on the protocol you chose, please read this post .

Try it.
