> mediamtx is a great project! Use w/e works best for your use case.

I agree, I'm just struggling to differentiate what BB offers that MMTX does not, so I can identify if there's a USP. If it's a passion project to scratch a personal itch, that's also great!

Also, can you share your latency measuring methodology?

I think Broadcast Box may have implemented WHIP/WHEP before MediaMTX so it tends to be one of the first results when looking up a WHIP-capable server. Plus it has a public instance so if you want to test WHIP real quick, it's pretty easy to just point OBS somewhere instead.

MediaMTX used to be "rtsp-simple-server" which really undersold what it was capable of (even back then it could ingest RTMP and output HLS and WebRTC).

Overall I think MediaMTX has more features and can do everything that Broadcast Box can.
