RTMP | RTMP is the protocol developed by Adobe for streaming audios, videos and the other data in the real time between a Flash/AIR player and a server. It dominates in the real-time streaming media protocols. With well support for CDN, it can be used easily and be accepted by most of live streaming media platforms. Although Flash-based RTMP cannot be played in iOS, it has real-time capability better than HLS. |
HLS | HLS is an HTTP-based streaming media protocol implemented by Apple Inc. It is applied to live streams and on-demand videos. Besides, iOS and Android support the protocol. Commonly, HLS on-demand video is indicated to HTTP on-demand segment. Unlike HTTP, the size of a HLS segment is very small. A HLS live streaming video can be divided into each segment at 5-10 seconds and then manage the segments with the m3u8 index table. Therefore, the HLS live streaming videos can run fluently. However, that feature also causes higher latency than the other common streaming media. |
