node-hls-server-client

An HLS server and client written in node.

HLS Proxy Client

The HLS proxy client uses node to stream any changes to a live HLS stream to an HLS server. Useful for streaming from a non-static IP to a server on a static IP.

HLS Server

The HLS server uses node to stream the segments and playlist file from a static IP. For browsers which don't support HLS the VideoJS library is used. The segments are stored in memory and retrieved from the HLS Proxy Client.

Usage

This is a work in progress. I created this tool to live stream my sister's wedding from a cell phone. Support for other clients will be added as people need to utilize other software or hardware. I used a Logitech 920C HD Webcam for the current version.
