That’s very interesting. I’ve streamed quite a lot, but on older stacks. Encoding was a nightmare. Providing different resolutions and different bitrates for viewers with vastly different downstream bandwidth meant using NVENC or something to accelerate. I’ll have to dig deeper into this. Thanks for sharing your experience with it.
HLS is adaptive bitrate. Performs very well on a test VPS on nostr:npub1rhaxmxxgs5jkw4zesrptnwd5nrknh5lkaxnlzzegz9vphlgfdlqsjmej47 2cpu 4GB ram unmetered.

I have been down that road too. Built many an infrastructure for large streaming apps/services. 👍
I’m running a PeerTube instance right now for video hosting. I wonder if there are good solutions for hosting recorded video correctly for HLS. Would reduce transcoding burden there too, which is the primary burden for running PeerTube.
I hit pleb.cloud up too. Looking forward to seeing if it’s an option for me.
