roq-api VS OvenMediaEngine

I had great luck with setting up OvenMediaEngine with a custom OvenLiveKit player HTML. I stream to the server via RTMP and it publishes the stream over WebRTC. In the best case I got around 1 second latency, since there's a bit of overhead while converting audio channels (WebRTC only supports Opus, OBS only supports AAC (I think)). Also you can't use B-Frames, so you need to pay attention to that in OBS.

OME [1] is a RTMP server for sub-second WebRTP streaming. Profiles allow for specific encodes if needed. I have a repository hosting an exemplary configuration and a frontend using their player [2].

Another server is SRS [3], but IMO it is more difficult to use, lacks features and the delay is about 1-3s — it requires far less bandwidth though.

My solution is cobbled together from OvenMediaEngine and OvenPlayer, which gives me about 250ms of latency when streaming. I have the whole thing behind a reverse proxy that uses Discord for forward auth, and then I have a list of discord user names that are allowed in. Streaming is controlled by a normal stream key rather than OAuth. It's very "batteries not included" though.

OvenMediaEngine might be worth a look: https://github.com/AirenSoft/OvenMediaEngine

The UNA team plans to release a new module for UNA as a module for host installation and integration with OvenMediaEngine that is automatically provisioned on UNA's cloud servers.

The conference organizer's requirements could be solved very simply with OvenMediaEngine (OME). They wanted to stream with sub-second latency because of smooth communication between presenters and attendees during live streaming. We applied OME as the stream server and OvenPlayer as the player to support a successful conference. That’s it.

Failed trying to play OvenMediaEngine's WebRTC? (Of course it fails with VLC, because VLC does not support WebRTC) Easy to play with OvenPlayer by just following the Getting-started documentation. https://airensoft.gitbook.io/ovenmediaengine/getting-started The forum is also very active as shown below. https://github.com/AirenSoft/OvenMediaEngine/issues

Hello! I am trying to self-host an OvenMediaEngine server with Docker and I'm quite stuck. I haven't used Docker before and it's very confusing to me. So far I've ran the second Docker command from https://github.com/AirenSoft/OvenMediaEngine because I would like to later change some of the config files in the future. I think the server itself is up and running because when I send an RTMP stream to the server, OBS shows that it's connected and data is being sent to it. I've opened up the ports on my network and the firewall of the second computer I am hosting this server from and I'm using a second computer for the OBS stream.
