OvenMediaEngine is an open-source (AGPL-3.0) C++ live streaming server that ingests streams via WebRTC, SRT, RTMP, RTSP, and MPEG-2 TS and delivers them with sub-second latency over WebRTC and Low-Latency HLS to hundreds of thousands of concurrent viewers. It includes an embedded live transcoder with ABR, WebRTC signaling, TURN server, DVR, DRM, and subtitle support, and is deployable self-hosted or via Docker.
Use cases
- self-host a sub-second latency live streaming server
- convert RTMP streams to WebRTC for low-latency playback
- deliver live video to hundreds of thousands of viewers over LLHLS
- build a live commerce or live auction streaming platform
- transcode live streams to adaptive bitrate with H.264, H.265, AV1, and Opus
- run a 24/7 live channel from pre-recorded content
- add DRM-protected low-latency HLS streaming
- ingest SRT or WHIP sources and restream over WebRTC
When to choose
- you need sub-second latency live streaming at large scale on your own infrastructure
- you want a single server handling ingest, transcoding, ABR, and delivery over WebRTC and LLHLS
- you need protocol flexibility across RTMP, SRT, RTSP, WHIP, and MPEG-2 TS
- you want an open-source alternative to managed streaming platforms with an enterprise support path
When to avoid
- you only need VoD hosting or simple HLS VOD without live ingest
- you need a fully managed service without operating your own servers
- your project cannot comply with the AGPL-3.0 license
- you need a lightweight embedded or edge streaming solution rather than a full media server
