FastAPI + ffmpeg as a solution for natively supported live streaming in browsers. Made for my Medium article.
This repository showcases how fragmented MP4, format which is natively supported by the <video> tag, can be used to stream live video footage and how it compares to another example solution, Motion JPEG. The associated article delves deeper into the world of browser live streaming:
- Existing live streaming solutions and how fragmented MP4 streaming overcomes their main shortcoming - latency
- Bandwidth and control as main advantages of fragmented MP4 over MJPEG
- Optimizing client side code in order to keep up with the live edge
- Overcoming the constant framerate limitation of MP4
