AdvancedBoiler
by mrmrmystery
AdvancedBoiler is a Fabric client mod that plays RTSP video and audio streams, routed through the Boiler Plugin on a server.
What it does
Boiler Plugin is installed on the server, and the server's config.yml enables client support. Port 8554 has to be open on the server, since the rtsp streams are published through that port. Players then receive the streams in the client, with the mod handling playback and displays for the Boiler Plugin.
Only the client needs AdvancedBoiler, so players install it and the server runs without it. The mod depends on Simple Voice Chat for audio playback and on oωo (owo-lib) for its config screen. Both dependencies must be installed on the client next to it.
AdvancedBoiler is released under the MIT License and is open source. Files are published for Fabric only, for the 1.21.4 game version, with 1.0 as the latest file. Source code is public.
Key features
RTSP stream playback
The client plays rtsp streams that the server publishes through port 8554, shown on displays placed by the Boiler Plugin.
Simple Voice Chat audio
Audio from the streams is played through Simple Voice Chat, so sound follows the same channel as voice chat on the server.
VLC media player backend
Playback runs on the VLC media player, which decodes the stream formats the server sends.
Config screen via oωo
Client settings are exposed through the oωo config library, so the options appear in a screen rather than a file.

How it compares
TownyChatUI is a Fabric client-side only mod under the MIT License and open source, published for 1.21.10 – 1.21.11, so it does not cover the 1.21.4 game version. JukeboxPlayer is open source under the MIT License for 1.21.11 and needs the server as a required side, with the client optional. Media HUD is client-side only, open source under the MIT License, and covers 1.20.5 – 1.21.11, while AdvancedBoiler targets only 1.21.4 and needs the server running Boiler Plugin.
