How to send audio and video using socket programming in Python: Socket Programming tutorial

Hello friends! Today's tutorial is about sending audio and video streams from a server to a client. These streams will be extracted from an MP4 file. We will use a UDP socket for the transfer of the video stream and a TCP socket for the audio stream. Each MP4 file consists of these streams, with a different frame rate and audio sampling rate. Normally, the audio sampling rate is set to 44100 Hz. However, the video frame rates can vary e.g. 15 frames per second (fps), 20 fps, 24 fps, 30 fps, or even more. If we simply use OpenCV to extract the frames of MP4 and send it (with a delay of 1 ms showing each) then it may possible that your video won't be playing at its inherent frame rate.

Audio is not playing only the video is running

Hello how can I check if the audio stream is done so I can close the sockets and then reuse them?

Thanks for the video :)
Just want to ask that it is known to use UDP when requiring fast-speed transmitting. What if I use TCP when sending the video? what will happen?

Thank you very much.. Are some Real Time Protocol (RTP) features added to the UDP?

Hi, I'm a new subscriber of your channel and I'm really glad I found this particular video. I just want to ask you what happen when the client is listening and the video stops while the audio continues to play.
Salute and much thanks

Please, how can I download the video from client side streaming???

why you use tcp for audio streaming instaed of UP?
