Now that we have transcoded our video streams with the expected format, it’s possible to generate the fragmented version of our mp4 files with the commands : This low quality audio file, as well as the original version,...
Read MoreSo it turns out that simply having an .mp4 file isn’t enough for low-latency streaming. In fact, for low latency streaming, MP4s work well, but for very fast start times, there’s optimisation work to be done. Unified Streaming’s Boy van… Continue Reading →
