Folder Structure

• "initial-attempt" => This is a simple node js server which utilizes polling for keeping the video in sync
• "dash-streaming" => In this, we've used adaptive bitrate (abr) streaming technology mpeg-dash for low bandwidth support
• "dash-live-streaming" => In here we've used Learn2Adapt-LowLatency algorithm on top of mpeg-dash for low latency sync between abr video streams

Up and running

For running any project in the sub-folder. First download and extract files.zip in the root of the project

$ npm install

$ cd <project-folder> 

$ node server.js

In Browser open port with project-port mentioned in the terminal output while starting the server

http://localhost:<project-port>

For opening in mobile on same network.

1. Determine ip of your computer system from network preferences or using ipconfig(windows) / ifconfig(unix based OS)
2. Type following in url bar

http://<ip>:<project-port>

3. press enter

TODO

1. Make a dedicated android based app using exo-player utilizing dash stream
2. Utilize ffmpeg to get the local mpeg-dash streams of live video from static file
