I've been wanting to try HLS. Seems simple as there's an FFMPEG plugin to generate the folder structure and all I have to do is symlink it to the webserver
How exactly would I stream to the server? Say after I have the camera/audio feed.
With HLS, you process the feed through an encoder (possibly FFMPEG or 3rd party solutions or hardware) which will generate the video packets in various bit rate profiles. It will also generate a playlist file. You just provide a link to the playlist. Check out the HLS specs, it's fairly simple to understand.
