HTTP Live Streaming

HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) is a technology that delivers live or on-demand video and audio over the internet. It works by breaking the media content into small segments, which are sent separately through standard web protocols. The player then downloads and plays these segments sequentially, adjusting quality based on internet speed to ensure smooth playback. This method allows for reliable streaming across different devices and network conditions, without the need for specialized streaming servers. Overall, HLS enables users to watch videos seamlessly on a variety of devices by efficiently delivering content through regular web infrastructure.
