OvenMediaEngine (OME) is a low-latency streaming server with large-scale and high-definition that AirenSoft Co., Ltd. released as open-source software via GitHub in December 2018. The main programming language used was C++, and the first update was on May 23, 2019.

OvenMediaEngine became as a member of the SRT Alliance in October 2018[1], was certified as Good Software Level 1 (ISO/IEC 25023, 25041, and 25051) in 2022 and received the South Korean Prime Minister's Award and the Minister of Science and ICT Award in 2022.

Usage

[edit]

OvenMediaEngine uses WebRTC for sub-second latency streaming and Low Latency HLS (HLS version 7+ based on fragmented MP4 containers, LL-HLS)[2][3] for low-latency streaming depending on the system, network, and browser environment. If you use OvenMediaEngine and your environment cannot transmit low-latency streaming, it also supports general streaming using the legacy protocol as HTTP Live Streaming (HLS).[3]

OvenMediaEngine can ingest media sources over WebRTC, SRT, RTMP, RTSP, and MPEG2-TS protocols through commonly used stream tools such as Open Broadcaster Software (OBS),[4] Video camera, and Web browser with Webcam, encode them to Adaptive Bitrate Streaming (ABR) with the embedded live transcoder, and stream them to viewers over WebRTC and Low-Latency HLS.[2][3] It is also possible to stream using legacy HLS[3] for wider compatibility.
