Live Streaming App iOS

Question

I am trying to develop a live-streaming application like the meerkat app, where user A can broadcast a live stream while other users are able to watch it. I am having trouble understanding the architecture and mechanisms used to upload video to a server. Currently, I am using a dedicated server with FFMPEG installed on it. I also know FFServer can be used to perform RTSP communication, but I am still unclear how to do this. Can anyone guide me on this?

I would like to know how to upload videos to a server or whether there is another way to perform a live stream. Open source frameworks are welcome.

Answer 1

Well i was in search of something open source which can be implemented without any additional cost. Luckily found Red5 Server (Open Source) https://github.com/Red5/red5-server

I had configured it on my dedicated server and running perfectly fine. Now as server side issue is solved. I need something thing to work on iOS side. For that also i found https://github.com/slavavdovichenko/MediaLibDemos3x

So with the combination of this two repos i was able to make an live streaming app like meerkut

Thanks
