HLS

HLS, or HTTP Live Streaming, is a technology that allows videos to be delivered over the internet in small, manageable pieces. It divides the video into segments and uses standard web protocols (HTTP) to stream them. This approach enables smooth playback on various devices, adapts to different internet speeds by adjusting quality, and improves reliability. Essentially, HLS makes watching live or on-demand videos flexible and seamless, even with fluctuating network conditions, by continuously delivering small parts of the content in real-time.
