This topic shows you how to prevent stuttering and network instability when the casters and viewers reside in different countries. Differences between live streaming in mainland China and live streaming outside China Compared with live streaming in mainland China, live streaming outside China has the following requirements: Edge group and live center configurations of live domains and uplink and downlink monitoring When you live stream videos, you must specify appropriate live center and edge group configurations to prevent unstable transmission over cross-border connections and a high stuttering rate. You can monitor the uplink frame rate and bitrate to check the live streaming status of the casters in real time, and collect downlink playback statistics to understand viewing behavior. Qualifications, including Internet Content Provider (ICP) filings for domain names To use a domain name to provide live streaming services for viewers in mainland China, you must apply for an ICP filing for the domain name, regardless of whether the casters reside in or outside China. Features of ApsaraVideo Live for live streaming outside China ApsaraVideo Live allows you to encrypt live streams during live streaming outside China, especially in scenarios in which live streams are ingested and played outside China. ApsaraVideo Live supports adaptive bitrate streaming depending on the network conditions. Adaptive bitrate streaming meets the requirements for long-distance transmission over cross- border connections. ApsaraVideo Live provides a Secure Reliable Transport (SRT)-compliant solution for cross-border live streaming of National Radio and Television Administration (NRTA) regulation-based activities, events, and concerts. Solutions for different scenarios in terms of network connection optimization Both the casters and viewers reside in Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, or regions outside China Problem descript ion The viewers are widely distributed around the globe, and your live streaming services cannot reach all of the viewers. The locations of the casters are not fixed. In addition, the network transmission is unstable, and the live streaming quality is poor.

ApsaraVideo Live provides live centers in the Germany (Frankfurt), Singapore (Singapore), and Japan (Tokyo) regions for casters outside China. We recommend that you select a live center that is near to the casters. Then, ApsaraVideo Live can ingest streams to the live center. 1. Configure edge ingest. Alibaba Cloud provides Content Delivery Network (CDN) nodes that cover major countries. ApsaraVideo Live uses edge ingest to deliver streams to the edge nodes that are nearest to the casters.

  • VIDEO STREAMING SERVICE Video Streaming Service (HLS & Nginx)
    VIDEO STREAMING SERVICE Video Streaming Service (HLS & Nginx) 1. Introduction This document describes a proof of concept undertaken by PalC Networks for developing a video streaming application. 1.1. Introduction to Video Streaming service Streaming Media may be defined as listening or viewing media in real time as it comes across the World Wide Web. With streaming technology, users can watch and listen to media while it is being sent to their browser, instead of waiting for it to completely download and then playing it. Before streaming technology was available, a user might wait an hour (or more!) to completely download a short media file. In general, media files are huge. For example, five minutes of uncompressed video would require almost one gigabyte of space! So, when the audio and video is prepared for streaming, the media file is compressed to make the file size smaller. When a user requests the file, the compressed file is sent from the video server in a steady stream and is decompressed by a steaming media player on the user's computer to play automatically in real time. A user can jump to any location in the video or audio presentation. Streaming media generally tries keep pace with the user's connection speed in order to reduce interruptions and stalling. Though general network congestion is unavoidable, the streaming server attempts to compensate by maintaining a constant connection. 2. HLS Streaming: HLS streaming (HTTP Live Streaming) has emerged as the standard in adaptive bitrate video. Adaptive bitrate video delivery is a combination of server and client software that detects a client’s bandwidth capacity and adjusts the quality of the video stream between multiple bitrates and/or resolutions.
