I'm curious about the way they power the streams... I see they're using django as web framework, but for live streaming... which media server? looks like Nginx's rtmp module in dedicated servers? why a flash videoplayer and not html5?
- protopete 11y agoHTML5 video doesn't work with live video unfortunately, while flash RTMP streaming does. Alternatives include MPEG DASH and Apple HTTP Live Streaming, but not all browsers support them.
- joeyspn 11y agoI recall that being a limiting factor 3-4 years ago when I was working with RTMP & P2P/RTMFP, but in mid 2015? I thought HTML5 was ready for live video... Reading now about Media Source Extensions (I just discovered the API) I guess we're finally around the corner... =) https://w3c.github.io/media-source/ https://w3c.github.io/media-source/
