Research direction

Start by reviewing the HLS-LL byterange behavior described in this issue and obtain the proposed stream from the reporter if it is still available. Compare the current request pattern with the expected one-request-per-segment steady mode using chunked transfer encoding; done means the behavior is demonstrated and the required scope is agreed.

Description

Enhancement Feature proposal Low-Latency Need sample stream
What do you want to do with Hls.js?

Hi guys,

I do not know where to contact you so I do it here.

I work for a well-know company doing video distribution and we develop an OTT packager doing (among other things) HLS low-latency with byterange. We notice that such streams "works" in the sense that the stream is playing (no playback issue) but this cannot be used in "real" use-case because hls.js makes a lot of requests (a request for each HLS part) while we expect to enter in "steady mode" and have only one request for each segment (and use chunked transfer encoding).

We can provide you a stream. If you are interested, please contact me at valentin.besnard.49 [at] gmail.com

Regards

Valentin
