AI Summary

This release focuses on stability and compatibility, addressing critical bugs in RTSP and HLS protocols, improving WebRTC interaction with servers lacking trickle ICE, and adding dynamic text overlay for Raspberry Pi cameras.

Key Highlights

  • Fixed RTSP compatibility with Verint.Vms.MediaGateway and resolved crashes during stream closing
  • Fixed HLS error 500 caused by in-stream parameters for AV1, H264, H265, and VP9 codecs
  • Enhanced WebRTC support for servers without trickle ICE and WHIP ICE restarts
  • Added dynamic text overlay support for Raspberry Pi Camera
  • Improved binary security through blockchain checksum verification

New Features

  • Support changing text overlay dynamically (RPI Camera)
  • Support interacting with servers with no trickle ICE
  • Support WHIP ICE restarts
  • Fix error 500 caused by in-stream params

Full Release Notes

## Fixes and improvements

RTSP

* fix compatibility with Verint.Vms.MediaGateway (https://github.com/bluenviron/mediamtx/issues/5292) (https://github.com/bluenviron/gortsplib/issues/1061)
* fix crash when stream is closing (https://github.com/bluenviron/gortsplib/issues/1062) when ServerStream.Close() is called, stream readers might have their setuppedTransport set to nil, causing the server to crash. Prevent this.
* fix race condition when tearing down connection (https://github.com/bluenviron/gortsplib/issues/1063) ServerConn.session was not properly protected.
* fix leak in case of failure during multicast initialization (https://github.com/bluenviron/gortsplib/issues/1064)

RTMP

* prevent nil / unconfigured tracks from appearing (https://github.com/bluenviron/gortmplib/issues/66) (https://github.com/bluenviron/mediamtx/issues/5724) (https://github.com/bluenviron/mediamtx/issues/5729)

HLS

* fix error 500 caused by in-stream params (https://github.com/bluenviron/gohlslib/issues/355) (https://github.com/bluenviron/mediamtx/issues/5728) (https://github.com/bluenviron/mediamtx/issues/5745) PR https://github.com/bluenviron/gohlslib/issues/344 caused a regression. Many codecs (AV1, H264, H265, VP9) use in-stream parameters, that were not taken into consideration anymore when generating init.mp4 and playlists. This has been solved.

WebRTC

* fix checking POST responses (https://github.com/bluenviron/mediamtx/issues/5758)
* support interacting with servers with no trickle ICE (https://github.com/bluenviron/mediamtx/issues/5273) (https://github.com/bluenviron/mediamtx/issues/5757)
* support WHIP ICE restarts (https://github.com/bluenviron/mediamtx/issues/5183) (https://github.com/bluenviron/mediamtx/issues/5770)

RPI Camera

* support changing text overlay dynamically (https://github.com/bluenviron/mediamtx/issues/5270) (https://github.com/bluenviron/mediamtx/issues/5748)

## Security

Binaries are compiled from source code by the [Release workflow](https://github.com/bluenviron/mediamtx/actions/workflows/release.yml), which is a fully-visible process that prevents any change or external interference in produced artifacts.

Checksums of binaries are also published in a public blockchain by using [GitHub Attestations](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/concepts/security/artifact-attestations), and they can be verified by running:

```
ls mediamtx_* | xargs -L1 gh attestation verify --repo bluenviron/mediamtx
```

You can verify checksums of binaries by downloading `checksums.sha256` and running:

```
cat checksums.sha256 | grep "$(ls mediamtx_*)" | sha256sum --check
```
