This is a HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) server based on the nginx-rtmp-module, ffmpeg and the html video element.

HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) uses the MPEG-2 Transport Stream (MP2T) to transport H.264 video and AAC/MP3 audio. On the browser, via JavaScript, MP2T is transmuxed into the ISO BMFF Byte Stream Format and feed to the html video element via Media Source Extensions (MSE).

Usage

Install the Ubuntu Base Box.

Run vagrant up to launch with VirtualBox.

Browse to http://10.0.0.2/ to see the examples.
