This article describes Facebook’s infrastructure for live video streaming, detailing how it handles real-time data transmission, transcoding, and adaptive bitrate streaming to accommodate various client devices and network bandwidths. It also discusses Facebook’s strategies for scaling live video, such as using consistent hashing for live stream server selection, adaptive bitrate streaming for varying network conditions, and a two-level server hierarchy to minimize latency. https://lnkd.in/gUbPRjX8

Happy news for creators and developers. Now start streaming 4K videos in your app / website with the help of TPStreams.com It's been an incredible journey over the past 12 months since we launched TPStreams. We've been working hard to bring you continuous innovation: We started with reliable video hosting. Then we added DRM protection to keep your content safe. Live video streaming followed, bringing your events to life. AI-based caption creation made content more accessible Preview thumbnails boosted user engagement And now, we’re excited to roll out 4K support for the ultimate video quality experience! And you know what? We don’t charge for transcoding your videos in 4K—you only pay for video storage and bandwidth. Compare this to leading cloud providers charging ₹150 per hour for 4K transcoding. If high costs have been a barrier for you, it’s time to switch to TPStreams!

As a tech enthusiast, I'm always curious about the mechanisms behind complex systems. This curiosity led me to create a project exploring how adaptive bitrate streaming works in platforms like YouTube and other OTT services. I've shared my findings and the implementation details in a new blog post, where I set up an HLS streaming server with a React frontend. Check out my blog to learn more about the process and implementation. Your feedback is most welcome! https://lnkd.in/gtzWqtiv #HLS #AdaptiveBitrateStreaming #Nodejs #React #VideoStreaming #OTT #TechBlog #Curiosity #Learning

One of the exciting new features I'm developing for my P2P Chat is a Live Streaming system that leverages a tree-based distribution algorithm. A notable challenge in P2P connections is the limited bandwidth offered by home internet services, which understandably falls short of the broadcasting server capabilities of platforms like Twitch or YouTube. This limitation greatly restricts the number of concurrent connections an individual streamer can sustain during a live stream. The ideal solution involves creating a tree structure where the originating streamer sends the video signal to no more than four recipients. These recipients, in turn, relay the video signal to subsequent users who connect. Let's explore how this works specifically when the main streamer has fewer than four active concurrent connections: - A client wishing to connect sends a connection request to the main streamer. - The main streamer initiates a P2P call to the client, conveying the media stream. - Since the call originates from the streamer, the client accepts the incoming stream. Conversely, if the main streamer already has four active concurrent connections: - A client wishing to connect sends a connection request to the main streamer. - The main streamer selects an already connected client that is receiving the media stream and communicates the client ID to the waiting client. - The main streamer sends a request to the active client, instructing it to call the waiting client. - The waiting client verifies if the incoming stream is sent by the client ID previously communicated. If confirmed, it accept the call and begin streaming the content (becoming a free relay client). This method thus allows for the establishment of a secure connection between two clients within a P2P network in four simple steps, while initially communicating with the source streamer. Indeed, the handshake phase ensures the receiving client will only accept calls from clients recognized by the originating streamer. #svelte #sveltejs #peerjs #p2p #distributed #network #stream #js
