bye bye RTMP | Lobsters

I’m surprised RTMP is used so little, or maybe it’s only about (direct) libcurl users. The protocol always seemed pretty effective to me.

In the recent years, I’ve been doing low-bandwidth streaming on low-quality WiFi links (not that the distances are large but the walls and corridors degrade link quality a lot). I’ve found SRT to be the best option since it can retransmit if there’s enough time considering the latency target (which reduces problems when loss happens for key frames).

Now, if only I could stream AV1 in MPEG-TS rather than MKV which requires me to get the very beginning of the stream.
