Title: WHIP Muxer Merged To FFmpeg For Sub-Second Latency Streaming
Link: https://news.slashdot.org/story/25/06/04/2222...
FFmpeg has added support for WHIP (WebRTC-HTTP Ingestion Protocol), enabling
sub-second latency live streaming by leveraging WebRTC's fast, secure video
delivery capabilities. It's a major update that introduces a new WHIP muxer
to make FFmpeg more powerful for real-time broadcasting applications.
Phoronix's Michael Larabel reports: WHIP uses HTTP for exchanging initial
information and capabilities and then uses STUN binding to establish a UDP
session. Encryption is supported -- and due to WebRTC, mandatory -- with WHIP
and audio/video frames are split into RTP packets. WebRTC-HTTP Ingestion
Protocol is an IETF standard for ushering low-latency communication over
WebRTC to help with streaming/broadcasting uses. With this FFmpeg commit
introducing nearly three thousand lines of new code, an initial WHIP muxer
has been introduced. You can learn more about WebRTC WHIP in this
presentation by Millicast (PDF).
