Hey everyone!
I’m working on creating a live video streaming application that allows users to broadcast content to multiple viewers simultaneously. Think of something like the popular streaming platforms out there.
I’ve been researching HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) technology but I’m finding it challenging to locate beginner-friendly resources. Apple’s official documentation exists but it’s pretty technical for someone just starting out.
So far I’ve looked into several encoding services and streaming solutions, but their documentation seems aimed at people who already have experience in this field. I’m particularly interested in understanding how complex it would be to build a basic version of such a platform.
My initial focus is on supporting iOS devices and web browsers. I’m wondering if anyone here has experience with integrating streaming servers with backend services like Parse.com or similar platforms.
Any recommendations for learning resources, tutorials, or insights about the development process would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help!
