Besides using FFmpeg, are any novel optimizations/compression being offered?

  We actually don't use FFMpeg to do the compression, we use the hardware encoders, so it uses much less CPU. That's how we're able to broadcast at a much better resolution. It's also bandwidth adaptive streaming, backed by a global CDN, and generates both Live and VOD HLS streams. But, more importantly, we've designed it in such a way that as a developer, you don't even have to worry about that! The library just exposes a really simple API that does all of the video magic for you.

    Nice work! What are the min hardware requirements for iOS & Android devices?

      Thanks! Kickflip currently requires iOS 7 and works on any iOS device which supports iOS 7. The Android requirements are a bit steeper, unfortunately: Android needs at least 4.3, as that's when the hardware encoder access API which we use was introduced.
