OvenMediaEngine (OME) is an Open-Source Streaming Server that enables Large-Scale and Sub-Second Latency Live Streaming.

"Large-Scale Streaming Server with Sub-Second Latency" OvenMediaEngine

What is OvenMediaEngine?

In short, OvenMediaEngine (OME) is an Open-Source Streaming Server that enables Large-Scale and Sub-Second Latency Live Streaming.

OvenMediaEngine receives a video/audio source from encoders and cameras such as OvenLiveKit, OBS, XSplit, and more to WebRTC, RTMP, SRT, MPEG-2 TS ^Beta, or RTSP ^Beta. Then, OME transmits it using WebRTC, Low Latency MPEG-DASH (LLDASH), MPEG-DASH, and HLS.

Like the picture below: OvenMediaEngine supports you can create platforms/services/systems that live stream to large audiences of hundreds or more with sub-second latency and be scalable, depending on the number of concurrent viewers.

We also provide OvenPlayer, an Open-Source and JavaScript-based WebRTC Player for OvenMediaEngine.

What is the goal of this project?

AirenSoft aims to make it easier for you to build a stable broadcasting/streaming service with Sub-Second Latency. Therefore, we will continue developing and providing the most optimized tools for smooth Sub-Second Latency Streaming.

Supported Platforms

We have tested OvenMediaEngine on the platforms listed below. However, we think it can work with other Linux packages as well:

• Docker
• Ubuntu 18+
• CentOS 7+
• Fedora 28+

Getting Started

Docker

docker run -d \
-p 1935:1935 \
-p 3333:3333 \
-p 3478:3478 \
-p 8080:8080 \
-p 9000:9000 \
-p 9999:9999/udp \
-p 4000-4005:4000-4005/udp \
-p 10006-10010:10006-10010/udp \
--name ovenmediaengine \
airensoft/ovenmediaengine:latest

You can also store the configuration files on your host:

docker run -d \
-p 1935:1935 \
-p 3333:3333 \
-p 3478:3478 \
-p 8080:8080 \
-p 9000:9000 \
-p 9999:9999/udp \
-p 4000-4005:4000-4005/udp \
-p 10006-10010:10006-10010/udp \
-v ome-origin-conf:/opt/ovenmediaengine/bin/origin_conf \
-v ome-edge-conf:/opt/ovenmediaengine/bin/edge_conf \
--name ovenmediaengine \
airensoft/ovenmediaengine:latest

The configuration files are now accessible under /var/lib/docker/volumes/<volume_name>/_data.

Following the above example, you will find them under /var/lib/docker/volumes/ome-origin-conf/_data and /var/lib/docker/volumes/ome-edge-conf/_data.

If you want to put them in a different location, the easiest way is to create a link:

ln -s /var/lib/docker/volumes/ome-origin-conf/_data/ /my/new/path/to/ome-origin-conf \
&& ln -s /var/lib/docker/volumes/ome-edge-conf/_data/ /my/new/path/to/ome-edge-conf
