I suppose things change, but I would really like a discussion of the latency trade-off. RTMP is low latency. Every other streaming format (except for WebRTC) is high latency. If people expect a Skype or Facetime type interaction MPEG-Dash is not going to work.
- trungonnews 10y agoEven sporting events are not broadcasted in real time, probably up to a minute delay, but most people still think they are watching it Live.
- mgamache 10y agoright, but if you are using Face-time or Skype the latency need to be < 500ms to not be annoying
- trungonnews 10y agoAgree. But Facebook Live is a one to many broadcast, more similar to a Sporting event, rather than a one on one conversation.
