Exchangable Videoplayer for Livestream

[sistein]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I would like to use LL-HLS to enable a very low latency stream back to the user. Unfortunaly VideoJS is not supporting LL-HLS by now.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to be able to change the videoplayer to something else.

I am currently working on supporting live streams from youtube. I don't think that we are to replace video.js anytime soon.
For videojs, your feature request was discussed here videojs/http-streaming#721 but not too much has happened.
What player do you suggest?

Hi tsiegleauq,

I'm quite new into this topic but was able to reduce the latency using Jitsi via Jibri via Wowza back to me below 5 seconds.

In my tests I used https://www.theoplayer.com/ . This player is however not free in every case.

Another thinkable solution would be WebRTC.

[tsiegleauq]

Jitsi is WebRTC, thus not quite the applicable solution for huge gatherings due to natural bandwidth limitation in clients. The player you mentioned cannot be included due to the unfitting license.

Would it be possible to have a iframe where simple HTML Code might be pasted? Then I could even with a unfitting license add the player or any other as well.

Regarding my mention WebRTC solution:

It would still be:
Openslides -> Jitsi -> Jibri -RTMP-> Wowza -WebRTC-> User

That is essentially what I am doing with youtube right now (see: https://github.com/OpenSlides/OpenSlides/pull/5770/files#diff-08783f8a98b7c3b8c33917b1c6100401fb2cbebd1fdad8dada147fdd5d3ee52aR7-R14 )
sideloading custom URLs can probably be done. How would a iFrame showing wowza look like?

I would like to use Peertube as a streaming server. However, it does not start playing with the current videoplayer, see this example link.

I came here from video.js issue. I'm not using OpenSlides... but maybe try https://github.com/AirenSoft/OvenMediaEngine?
It's webrtc streaming server with player. It support incoming RTMP streams.
