Enhanced stream delivery
GigA+ ('giga-plus') delivers video streams from content-providers to clients (STBs, smart TVs, video players, etc.). GigA+ can deliver video as linear streams - via HTTP, or as segments - via HLS. GigA+ is built on top of the rock-solid Gigapxy code base. It adds HLS, DVR support and load balancing across servers, with more advanced features to come. GigA+ is currently a beta, so testers' input is crucial and features could still be added on demand.
Features:
- HLS and HTTP delivery - linear and segmented streams;
- Heritage: HTTP-delivery features of Gigapxy 1.x;
- DVR for HLS - play live streams from N hours back;
- Replicate HLS segments to multiple servers;
- Load-balance requests for segments across a pool of servers;
- Trans-code segments (simple tasks) on the fly;
- Nginx can be used for segment-file delivery;
- 24/7: emphasis on round-the-clock availability of channels;
- Hardware-fair: run on moderate resources, don't spend a fortune on hardware;
