We are testing WebRTC for this very purpose and seeing under 500ms latency to our clients.

Is this why people turn the radio down when trying to look for an address, parking space, etc?
Why is there no pricing info on the website?
liquidsoap is audio only right?
Most streaming servers are bloated and slow. If nginx can do for video streaming what they've done for web servers it would be great.
I've tried, and it doesn't work so well. I don't think it works for every OS either.
I also would hesitate to call it "Live" without showing how to adjust for GOP sizes, key frames, B and I frames, etc.
Currently to get the stream from ffmpeg into nginx you have to do the following: ffmpeg -re -i input_file -c copy -f flv rtmp://nginx_server_url:1935/app
It would be nice to have the ability to set up an app block that looked kind of like this
application source1 { exec fffmpeg -f decklink -i 'DeckLink Quad (1)@8' -f flv rtmp://localhost/app/$name }
ffmpeg is still pushing the stream to nginx, but nginx is in charge of starting that process.
The one thing I've always wanted from nginx-rtmp was the ability to pull from a source input instead of running a separate process with ffmpeg to push the stream over. If they could get that working my life would become less complicated quickly.
It's not running on Java so it should be faster with the same hardware.
I have an HLS live stream with less than 1 second of latency. If you have a keyframe interval around 5 frames, the player can start playing when it receives 15 frames.
I worked for Efront back in the 90's. You covered them on your site pretty well. I am trying to forget that memory.
