Rtstream

What this skill does

Rtstream enables real-time ingestion of live video streams via RTSP or RTMP protocols, as well as desktop capture sessions including mic, screen, and system audio. It allows marketers to record, index, search, and export content from these live sources, supporting immediate access to video data for analysis or distribution. The skill captures streams as they happen and integrates AI pipelines for live transcription, visual and audio indexing, and event detection.

Who it's for

This skill is designed for performance marketers managing live broadcast content who need to quickly index and search streams for key moments. Growth leads running video-centric campaigns can use Rtstream to monitor live events or meetings and export highlights efficiently. Agency strategists working with client video feeds, security footage, or desktop captures will find it useful for triggering alerts and extracting actionable insights in real time.

Key workflows

Users begin by connecting Rtstream to a live video source using an RTSP or RTMP URL, or by attaching it to a desktop capture session. Next, they start the ingestion process to record the live feed while simultaneously running AI pipelines that transcribe speech, analyze visuals, and index content as it streams. Practitioners monitor real-time events and alerts via WebSocket connections, enabling immediate responses to detected moments. Finally, they stop the ingestion and export the recorded video for storage or further editing, with the ability to search within the recording for precise segments.

Common questions

Can Rtstream handle both video and audio sources simultaneously? Yes, it supports multiple input types including mic, screen, and system audio alongside video streams. How real-time is the indexing and event detection? AI pipelines run concurrently with ingestion, providing near-instant transcription and alerts through WebSocket updates. Is it possible to export the recorded streams for offline use? Absolutely, users can export the captured content as video files for storage or downstream processing.

How to use in Metaflow

Attach the Rtstream skill to a Metaflow agent task by specifying the RTSP/RTMP stream URL or capture session ID to initiate live ingestion. Expect continuous recording combined with real-time indexing and event monitoring through integrated AI pipelines. Once the stream ends, you can export the recording and leverage search capabilities to pinpoint relevant moments. This workflow supports rapid video content workflows in Metaflow projects and...
