⁠OvenMediaEngine

⁠What is OvenMediaEngine?

OvenMediaEngine (OME) is a Sub-Second Latency Live Streaming Server that can stream large-scale and high-definition live streams over WebRTC, Low-Latency HLS (LL-HLS), and SRT to hundreds of thousands of viewers. OME can ingest live streams over WebRTC, WHIP, SRT, RTMP, E-RTMP, RTSP (Pull), and MPEG2-TS protocols, encode them to ABR with the embedded live transcoder, and stream them to viewers over WebRTC, LL-HLS, and HLS.

With OvenMediaEngine, you can build your powerful and sub-second latency media service very easily.

⁠Demo

OvenSpace is a Sub-Second Latency Live Streaming Demo Service using OvenMediaEngine (Streaming Server)⁠, OvenPlayer (Player)⁠, and OvenLiveKit (Live Encoder)⁠. You can experience OvenMediaEngine in the OvenSpace Demo⁠ and see examples of applying in OvenSpace Repository⁠.

⁠Quick Start

• Quick Start Guide⁠
• User Guide⁠

⁠Docker

docker run --name ome -d -e OME_HOST_IP=Your.HOST.IP.Address \
-p 1935:1935 -p 9999:9999/udp -p 9000:9000 -p 3333:3333 -p 3478:3478 -p 10000-10009:10000-10009/udp \
ovenmedialabs/ovenmediaengine:latest

You can also store the configuration files on your host:

docker run --name ome -d -e OME_HOST_IP=Your.HOST.IP.Address \
-p 1935:1935 -p 9999:9999/udp -p 9000:9000 -p 3333:3333 -p 3478:3478 -p 10000-10009:10000-10009/udp \
-v ome-origin-conf:/opt/ovenmediaengine/bin/origin_conf \
-v ome-edge-conf:/opt/ovenmediaengine/bin/edge_conf \
ovenmedialabs/ovenmediaengine:latest

The configuration files are now accessible under /var/lib/docker/volumes/<volume_name>/_data.

Following the above example, you will find them under /var/lib/docker/volumes/ome-origin-conf/_data and /var/lib/docker/volumes/ome-edge-conf/_data.

If you want to put them in a different location, the easiest way is to create a link:

ln -s /var/lib/docker/volumes/ome-origin-conf/_data/ /my/new/path/to/ome-origin-conf \
&& ln -s /var/lib/docker/volumes/ome-edge-conf/_data/ /my/new/path/to/ome-edge-conf
