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

[Ross Finlayson]

One of the things that surprised me from my (informal) survey - earlier this month - about people’s experiences with the “LIVE555 HLS Proxy” is that nobody reported having problems with firewalls.

I had thought that - with many (most?) people’s RTSP feeds (e.g., network cameras) likely being behind a firewall - people would have problems exporting the generated HLS segments (and “.m3u8” index file) to a place where a web server, accessible from the public Internet, would be able to read them.

Or are people using these HLS streams only internally, and not making them available to the public Internet?

But if you are making the HLS streams available to the public Internet, I’d be interested to learn how you solved the problem of bringing the HLS segments across a firewall (for use by a web server)?
