Couldn't the server compose the streams itself? Perhaps as simple as tiling them all together and the client can manage that stream, or request single high quality streams if needed.
There'd be a CPU/bandwidth tradeoff being made here, I wonder how the prices on standard cloud providers would compare.
- quicklyfrozen 7y agoSure, but that adds a lot of CPU load server side (and cloud CPU is still fairly expensive), adds latency for the extra buffering, decoding, and re-encoding, and limits the display options available client-side.
- k3liutZu 7y agoThis also limits how the UI is presented. With 1 stream the client can not choose how the UI is presented — there's a single video stream. Tradeoffs.
