// 1. set additional client options.
// 2. connect to a RTSP server, announce an H264 format.
// 3. generate dummy RGBA images.
// 4. encode images with H264.
// 5. generate RTP packets from H264.
// 6. write RTP packets to the server.

// This example requires the FFmpeg libraries, that can be installed with this command:
// apt install -y libavcodec-dev libswscale-dev gcc pkg-config
