Hello Everyone, I am a full-stack developer working on a live streaming video app, We have an application which uses OpenTok and deals with live streaming of publishers to the audience on the same platform. The host can also choose up to 3 social streaming options like, Facebook, Youtube, Periscope or Custom RTMP to stream to along with our own platform.
We are consuming over 500,000 streaming minutes every month and are expecting this usage to go even higher in coming time.
We would like to look for alternatives to OpenTok because of 2 main reasons. One of them is pricing and the other is flexibility to control stream qualities and some other features which are not provided by OpenTok.
It would really be helpful if someone can guide us to figure out if Wowza is a better option in this case or if there is any other streaming server we can use.
In case Wowza is an option we should go for, is there any resources from where we could get help learning more about the architecture of wowza. I have found this PDF manual for wowza, https://www.wowza.com/resources/WowzaStreamingEngine_UsersGuide.pdf
Appreciate if anyone can guide me if this guide is what I should follow as a beginner in Wowza and WebRTC or is there any other resources that can provide an even better learning experience.
Thanks in advance.
