    Good point; there's only a single server handling all the requests so things can be a bit slow depending on the time of day. And there are browser limits to the number of concurrent connections.

    Apple browsers with native HLS support are better than those without as well. Other browsers need to load everything via https://github.com/video-dev/hls.js/ which slows things down.

  • Video Player just doesn't work

    Another user using Ubuntu + Firefox just reported this issue recently. You're likely running into this issue - the streaming library we use requires a codec that some browsers have bundled, but Firefox is not one of them. It expects the OS to provide it, and it sounds like yours is not.
  • Can't get HLS.js to work with Jellyfin for certain media.

    I'm trying to build a simple web player for Jellyfin, for another project I'm working on that will embed a clipper. I am using HLS.js to load HLS streams, which seems to work really well for movies, but not at all for shows.

    If you mean hls.js https://github.com/video-dev/hls.js/, I prefer Shaka because it can play both HLS and DASH, adding tons of stuff on top of it
  • Adding WebRTC support to OBS using Rust
    9 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 15 Dec 2022
    I don't know the answer to the WebRTC part, but as long as you have a server with not-outrageously-priced outbound bandwidth, you can install an open source RTMP server like SRS[1], and stream to that RTMP server from OBS. It's really easy, configure the RTMP server & stream key, then "Start Streaming" which is right next to "Start Recording". You can then hand your friends a link, and they can play it in any media player with RTMP/HLS/FLV stream support, or you can add a simple web UI with e.g. hls.js[2] (very easy to write, there might even be prepackaged solutions) so that they truly don't need to download anything.

    https://github.com/video-dev/hls.js/ <--download the release.zip, unpack it, extract dist/hls.js and dist/hls.js.map you can discard the rest. Near as I can tell these do not contain any external HTTP calls, IE: it's fully self-contained.
