Section 2.3 - Live Content Playback #14

Closed thasso closed 7 years ago

thasso commented 7 years ago

This section should follow the basic structure already described in 2.2 and highlight the following:

Content-Generation and the differences compared to VoD content
Content-Delivery for Live content
Content-Playback: How to Manifest updates work and how is/can the currentTime be reported by the player

The following use-cases might be interesting to highlight:

Reduce live edge latency
Server side Ad insertion

I think perhaps we should also differentiate between live streaming delivery through real-time protocols like WebRTC and RTMP vs. delivery via HTTP (which is "near-live" but delayed because of the chunking in most setups).
