Node-Media-Server is a high-performance, low-latency live streaming media server implemented in Node.js, supporting RTMP/RTMPS and HTTP/WS-FLV push and play with enhanced RTMP FLV v1 for HEVC, VP9, and AV1 codecs. It includes a web admin UI, REST API with JWT authentication, stream recording to FLV, relay tasks, and real-time monitoring.
Use cases
- run a self-hosted rtmp live streaming server
- stream live video with low latency over http-flv
- record live streams to flv files for video on demand
- relay rtsp or rtmp streams between servers
- serve hevc or av1 live streams in the browser
- monitor and manage live streams via a rest api and dashboard
When to choose
- you need a lightweight node.js-based streaming server with rtmp ingest and flv playback
- you want modern codec support like hevc, vp9, or av1 over enhanced rtmp
- you need built-in recording, authentication, and a management api without extra services
When to avoid
- you need HLS or DASH delivery for broad device compatibility
- you require large-scale production transcoding or adaptive bitrate workflows
- you depend on legacy flash-era RTMP features or the v2 cn_cdn flv_265 extension
