Usage

OvenMediaEngine uses WebRTC for sub-second latency streaming and Low Latency HLS (HLS version 7+ based on fragmented MP4 containers, LL-HLS)cite-ref-0-2-0[2]cite-ref-1-3-0[3] for low-latency streaming depending on the system, network, and browser environment. If you use OvenMediaEngine and your environment cannot transmit low-latency streaming, it also supports general streaming using the legacy protocol as HTTP Live Streaming (HLS).cite-ref-1-3-1[3]

OvenMediaEngine can ingest media sources over WebRTC, SRT, RTMP, RTSP, and MPEG2-TS protocols through commonly used stream tools such as Open Broadcaster Software (OBS),cite-ref-4[4] Video camera, and Web browser with Webcam, encode them to Adaptive Bitrate Streaming (ABR) with the embedded live transcoder, and stream them to viewers over WebRTC and Low-Latency HLS.cite-ref-0-2-1[2]cite-ref-1-3-2[3] It is also possible to stream using legacy HLScite-ref-1-3-3[3] for wider compatibility.
