Introduction

What is OvenMediaEngine?

OvenMediaEngine (OME) is an Open-Source Streaming Server that enables Large-Scale and Sub-Second Latency Live Streaming. With OME, you can create services that live stream to large audiences of hundreds or more with sub-second latency and be scalable at any time, 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, RTMP, SRT, MPEG-2 TS (Beta), or RTSP (Beta) as Input. Then, OME transmits this source using WebRTC, Low Latency MPEG-DASH (LLDASH), MPEG-DASH, and HLS as output. Also, we provide OvenPlayer, an Open-Source and JavaScript-based WebRTC Player for OvenMediaEngine.

Our goal is to make it easier for you to build a stable broadcasting/streaming service with sub-second latency.
