Introduction
OvenMediaEngine (OME) is a Sub-Second Latency Live Streaming Server with Large-Scale and High-Definition. With OME, you can create platforms/services/systems that transmit high-definition video to hundreds-thousand viewers with sub-second latency and be scalable, depending on the number of concurrent viewers.
OvenMediaEngine can receive a video/audio, video, or audio source from encoders and cameras such as OvenLiveKit, OBS, XSplit, and more, to WebRTC, SRT, RTMP, MPEG-2 TS, and RTSP as Input. Then, OME transmits this source using LLHLS (Low Latency HLS) and WebRTC as output. Also, we provide OvenPlayer, an Open-Source and JavaScript-based WebRTC/LLHLS Player for OvenMediaEngine.
Our goal is to make it easier for you to build a stable broadcasting/streaming service with sub-second latency.

We have tested OvenMediaEngine on platforms, listed below. However, we think it can work with other Linux packages as well:
- Ubuntu 18+
- CentOS 7+
- Fedora 28+
Thank you so much for being so interested in OvenMediaEngine.
We need your help to keep and develop our open-source project, and we want to tell you that you can contribute in many ways. Please see our Guidelines, Rules, and Contribute.
We always hope that OvenMediaEngine will give you good inspiration.
