Questions tagged [http-live-streaming]

HTTP Live Streaming is a method of media streaming that consists of downloading segments of a mpeg2ts file, containing video (H.264) and/or audio (AAC or MP3). The specification was introduced by Apple and is widely used in iOS.

HTTP Live Streaming is a way to send audio and video over HTTP from a web server to client software on the desktop or to iOS-based devices.

HTTP Live Streaming sends audio and video as a series of small files, typically of about 10 seconds duration, called media segment files. An index file, or playlist, gives the clients the URLs of the media segment files. The playlist can be periodically refreshed to accomodate live broadcasts, where media segment files are constantly being produced.
