During the third quarter of 2018 our team was working on improving our products.
Before checking the updates, take a look at the State of Streaming Protocols for Q3 2018. Total view time of our server software among all of customers was 21 million hours watched every day.
HLS ads insertion
Major improvement was made for Nimble Advertizer, the Server-Side Ads Insertion (SSAI) framework for Nimble Streamer. This framework allows dynamically insert personalized ads into live streaming content.
Key features of Advertizer are:
The workflow is easy to adopt within any business logic using your own handler app.
You can read full technical spec here.
Advertizer Live Demo
You can see SSAI in action on our Nimble Advertizer Live Demo page. It has RTMP, SLDP. HLS and Icecast live streams with pre-rolls and mid-rolls being inserted for you.
That page also has description of how this demo works so you could try the same approach in your solutions.
Nimble Advertizer Server-side Ads Insertion framework is a premium functionality which requires additional payments. Please check this page to get more details about functionality and pricing.
Upcoming 2019 is the last year of Adobe's support for Flash technology which means upcoming decline of RTMP for end-user streaming. This brings the need for real-time low-latency streaming solution which could be used for live delivery and playback.
We're updating our mobile streaming solutions on a regular basis, introducing new capabilities and fixes.
Larix free mobile app and premium SDKs for Android and iOS now have HEVC (H.265) encoding support for better compression of outgoing streams. Also, SRT library in Larix is now version 1.3.1. Those features bring more robustness on unreliable networks and low bandwidth.
iOS Larix also has 60 fps support.
Restream.io has a new article in their help center called Stream From Mobile Using Larix Broadcaster. It's about Larix setup for using Restream.io services.
SLDP Player apps and SDKs had minor improvements and fixes as well.
You can check full description of releases and get SDK subscription any time.
We'll keep you updated on our latest features and improvements.
