Adventures in WebRTC-based Content Streaming
summary
Compares RTMP’s multi-second delay (example measured ~1.6 s) with WebRTC + the new WHIP ingestion and WHEP egress standards, shows an OBS fork pushing stream via WHIP to a CDN and playing with video.js, reports ~65 ms end-to-server latency in the demo, and lists working OSS components: gstreamer, Janus, mediasoup, OBS, video.js. Demo PR to mainline OBS exists and WHIP adoption by CDNs (Dolby, Cloudflare) is underway.
