I am trying to verify that a video service is provided from an URL in python. I am asking does anyone know of any good libraries to use or a way to do this. I have not found much info for this on the web.
Thanks
I don't believe Live555 provides a python library.  However, they do provide source code that can be compiled to build openRTSP.  This is a simple command-line utility that will perform the entire RTSP handshake to connect to the server and begin streaming to the client.  It also can provide statistic measurements (such as jitter, number of packets lost, etc.) that can be used to measure the quality of the streaming connection.
Verify RTSP service via URL
