OvenMediaEngine, an open source sub second latency live streaming server that ingests RTMP, SRT, WebRTC and MPEG TS and delivers WebRTC and Low Latency HLS.
Overview
OvenMediaEngine is an open source streaming server built for sub second latency live video. A publisher such as OBS Studio, ffmpeg or a hardware encoder pushes a live feed over RTMP, SRT, WebRTC or MPEG TS, and OvenMediaEngine repackages it in real time for delivery over WebRTC and Low Latency HLS, so viewers watch with end to end latency measured in fractions of a second rather than the many seconds of conventional HLS.
It suits interactive live streaming, real time auctions and betting, live commerce, remote production, e sports and any workflow that needs genuinely low latency delivery to browsers and native players from a server you run inside your own cloud account. A REST API drives stream management and statistics for automation.
Why the cloudimg image
A streaming server exposes an administrative API, so cloudimg makes OvenMediaEngine secure by default. The REST API access token is generated uniquely on the first boot of every instance and written to a root only file, the API is bound to loopback so it is never reachable from the network, and the streaming service is held back until that first boot token exists so no instance ever runs with a shared or baked in credential. The image runs the official upstream release unmodified and driven entirely by external configuration, ffmpeg ships in the image, and a built in self test proves a real publish and playback round trip on every instance. The base is fully patched with unattended security upgrades enabled, and every deployment is paired with a step by step deploy guide, links the upstream corresponding source, and is backed by 24/7 cloudimg support.
Common uses
- Sub second latency live streaming to browsers over WebRTC and Low Latency HLS
- Ingesting an RTMP, SRT or WebRTC feed from OBS or ffmpeg and repackaging it in real time
- A self hosted real time streaming server for interactive video inside your own cloud account
