Mistserver features in nginx

Server NGINX
1

Hi,

Just reading the following two documents and the first link refers to
the some of the nginx features.

https://mistserver.org/comparison

But there are stuffs which I think are incorrect like recording option
which nginx_rtmp module already has
(Directives · arut/nginx-rtmp-module Wiki · GitHub) but
the first document states it does not have!

Can you add more to this thread which the first document claims “does
not have in nginx”, but otherwise?

Thanks.

Happy Holidays,
/z

It’s worth to add nginx plus to the comparison, since it has
enchantments
in this area.

See:

Module ngx_http_f4f_module
Module ngx_http_hls_module
Module ngx_http_mp4_module

There is also nginx plus package with the RTMP module:
Technical Specs | NGINX Documentation (check the “NGINX
Plus
Extras Package” at the bottom of the page)

Expecting more inputs flowing in!

I’m not an expert on our RTMP module but here are a few things I quickly
found:

  • Live transcoding is possible using ffmpeg (as in our documented
    examples)

  • I’m not quite sure what is meant by multi-protocol DVR here. But
    through ffmpeg multiple protocols are supported.

  • As mentioned, live recording is supported

  • Stdin is a bad comparison. Web servers shouldn’t take data via stdin.

  • MPEG-DASH is supported

  • “Progressive FLV Streaming” is an oxymoron. You are either doing
    progressive downloading or streaming.

It looks like the comparison is rather old and open to interpretation.
It is very much an apples to oranges comparison.

Kind Regards

Thanks Valentin. It would be nicer if you can specify which feature of
the mistserver (in the mistserver comparison list) are replaced by
above.

Binaries are not something people may be interested in this list, I
guess. However, free flow of information is always good. :wink:

Spacibo!
