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
