So I've been digging around for a couple days in the broadcasting/streaming grounds and I encountered so many questions, especially with the encoders and decoders.
I need to find the cheapest and best solution for live streaming/ broadcasting. So far I am using OBS as my encoder, but as far as I know it encodes in the RMTP protocol and it uses flash players to stream the broadcast. And I do not want that. I want to use the HTML5 player (like the ones WOWZA, nanoCosmos) uses and I need the latency to be as low as possible. My questions would be:
- Can I use OBS for low latency? Because I have tested out OBS with wowza streaming cloud and the latency was huge.
- How to get rid of the flash players using OBS? If it is not possible what other cheap/free encoders there are, that would do the job?
- What other things I need to think about it? So right now I need a proper encoder, CDN and a player (but if I am using one of the commercial players, usually they provide their Cloud CDN).
EDIT:
Since it should be an auction house live streaming I need the latency to be as low as possible.
- The latency I need to achieve is no more then 2s.
- Audience: up to 500 people.
