[Live-devel] Any feedback on the "LIVE555 HLS Proxy"?

[Ralf Globisch]

Hi Ross,

Some minor feedback from our side:

We've done some initial testing of the HLS proxy using it to 

stream to various browsers.

 For browsers that don't support HLS we used hls.js which seemed to work
quite nicely.

With respect to the list  5) is important for us as the streams we serve
have audio and video.


Other than that, everything went very smoothly with the HLS proxy. Some
nice work there!

Regards,
Ralf

A few months ago I added a new application to the source code release:
the “LIVE555 HLS Proxy”
	http://www.live555.com/hlsProxy/
which allows you to view a RTSP stream from web browsers.

To date, I haven’t received a lot of feedback on this application, which
suggests that probably not many people have been using it.

If you have not found this application particularly useful, I’d be
interested to hear why.  Some possibilities:
	1/ Your favorite web browser doesn’t support viewing HLS streams
	2/ You don’t have a web server running on your computer (and
setting one up would be too much of a pain)
	3/ Your RTSP server (e.g., camera) is stuck behind a NAT and/or
firewall, and you have no way to access the HLS segments from the
external Internet
	4/ Your RTSP source (e.g., camera) doesn’t generate H.264 video.
 (Currently, the “LIVE555 HLS Proxy” supports only H.264 video.)
	5/ Your RTSP source (e.g., camera) generates an audio stream as
well as a video stream.  (Currently, the “LIVE555 HLS Proxy” will proxy
only the video stream (which must be H.264)
	6/ Some other reason?
