If you're connecting to the RTMP server directly, you can get about 1-2s latency. However, due to the additional overhead of the conversion process to HLS, I'm getting about 6-10 seconds of latency.

I have considered looking into WebRTC, but it seems a bit more complicated to work with than just running an RTMP server and calling it a day.

Both Apple and Twitch have their own implementation of low latency HLS, so it could be worth looking into how feasible it would be to setup something similar.
