What you can do with OvenStudio LLHLS?
OvenStudio LLHLS, a low-latency streaming server designed for the cloud, is built upon the open-source sub-second latency streaming server, OvenMediaEngine. Despite the availability of technology that can achieve sub-1-second latency for streaming, OvenStudio LLHLS has chosen to adopt a technology that achieves sub-3-second latency.
Why?
While leveraging WebRTC output could potentially expand the application scope of OvenStudio LLHLS, there is no CDN service that supports WebRTC, and involves setting up and operating an edge cluster yourself. This can be complex and specialized, which is why many people still opt for traditional CDN services when using (LL)HLS. The ease of configuration and management is a key factor.
Furthermore, WebRTC is primarily focused on near-real-time streaming and does not support Digital Rights Management (DRM). Thus, for services requiring DRM support, implementing WebRTC can be challenging. OvenStudio LLHLS has plans to support DRM in the near future, so if DRM is essential for your service, stay tuned for the upcoming updates.
