Happy New Year!

The OvenMediaEngine team has published a three-part blog series exploring low-latency streaming using WebRTC, HLS, and LL-HLS. We hope it provides valuable insights for you all! 

In Part 1, we explore the components, advantages, and disadvantages of WebRTC. We also share the testing process and results of achieving ultra-low latency streaming with OvenMediaEngine, demonstrating a latency of approximately 5 frames (WHIP to WebRTC) and 7 frames (RTMP to WebRTC) at 30FPS.

In Part 2, we explore whether low latency can be achieved using HLS. Through our tests, we determined that the minimum achievable latency with HLS, while maintaining quality and stability, is approximately 6 seconds. In this post, we provide a detailed explanation of the experimental process that led to this conclusion.

In Part 3, we conducted tests with OvenMediaEngine using Low-Latency HLS, focusing on stability, balance, and latency. As a result, we achieved a latency of approximately 1 to 4 seconds. In this post, we outline the testing process and present the results.
