go2rtc tries to name formats, protocols and codecs the same way they are named in FFmpeg. Some formats and protocols go2rtc supports exclusively. They have no equivalent in FFmpeg.
- The initiator of the connection can be go2rtc - Source protocols
- The initiator of the connection can be an external program - Ingress protocols
- Codecs can be incoming - Receiver codecs
- Codecs can be outgoing (two way audio) - Sender codecs
