How to get video stream information?

[theateist]

I use RtspClientSharp to receive video frames from rtsp stream. The library allows just to receive the frames. But, I need to get information about the stream, such as bitrate, codec and etc. I don't see that there is currently an option for this.

1. Do I need to modify the code to support this?
2. Other alternative is to write a helper code which uses ffmpeg in c++ which will also connect to the stream, get the stream information and send it back to my c# code. Is this a better alternative?
