How to send audio and video using socket programming in Python: Socket Programming tutorial

Hello friends! Today's tutorial is about sending audio and video streams from a server to a client. These streams will be extracted from an MP4 file. We will use a UDP socket for the transfer of the video stream and a TCP socket for the audio stream. Each MP4 file consists of these streams, with a different frame rate and audio sampling rate. Normally, the audio sampling rate is set to 44100 Hz. However, the video frame rates can vary e.g. 15 frames per second (fps), 20 fps, 24 fps, 30 fps, or even more. If we simply use OpenCV to extract the frames of MP4 and send it (with a delay of 1 ms showing each) then it may possible that your video won't be playing at its inherent frame rate.
