So I was researching on what technology is needed for a live streaming site, and found out that the only way to stream from a browser is using flash, and proprietary aids like wowza server, or adobe media server, open source alternatives are inferior
why is web streaming technology so far behind?
I'm 90% sure you don't need flash to run a streaming site.
Youtube, netflix, rabb.it, hell even pornhub, don't need flash to view them. I don't see why you would need flash to run them either,
I have no experience in this though, just an observation

This. Look up HLS. I have a streaming service set up but it's very basic at the moment and still a little but buggy.
>>60463368
yeah you don't need flash to view, but you need flash to send your stream if you want it to be web based, and not ask people to use a 3rd party program like obs.

Yep also works fine with nginx

What's your setup? I'm using mine to stream animu as VOD using VLC, but for some reason on certain files it will get to a point where it runs into "Subpicture heap full" errors and crashes when burning subtitles.

You're an idiot.

We have tested HLS with nginx-rtmp and flowplayer for replay. Worked pretty good however the latency was too high, so we switched to rtmp

you clearly don't understand what's being discussed here so fuck off back to your desktop ricing threads.

can any of you dumb cunts read?

not TO, FROM
That means sending a stream from your webcam, to a streaming site inside a web browser.
And the only reliable way of doing it is using flash, webrtc is still shit and not supported yet on most media servers.
>Yep also works fine with nginx
yea and what's the nginx module for doing that called?
>nginx rtmp module
>Real-Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP) was initially a proprietary protocol developed by Macromedia for streaming audio, video and data over the Internet, between a Flash player and a server.

Surely there is an RTSP module?
