This article shows you whether you need to build your own streaming media server during the production of live app. The content is concise and easy to understand, which will definitely brighten your eyes. I hope you can get something through the detailed introduction of this article.

In the process of making live app, we often encounter a question: do you need to build your own streaming media server? What else can I do if I don't have to build my own streaming media server? Therefore, the following is mainly from these two aspects, to briefly share some of the content about the server during the production of live app.

1. What is "streaming media" in the streaming media server?

That is, streaming media, media broadcast while transmitting, a kind of multimedia. Broadcast while transmitting refers to the "simultaneous" of media providers transmitting media on the network, while users continue to accept, watch and listen to the transmitted media. Stream refers to the mode of transmission of this kind of media, not the media itself.

two。 What is a streaming media server?

That is, the key platform for operators to provide video services to users. The main function is to collect, cache, schedule, transmit and play streaming media content, and the main performance depends on the performance and quality of service of the media server. Therefore, the streaming media server is not only the foundation of the streaming media application system, but also the most important part.

3. Is it necessary to build a self-built streaming media server when making a live app?

In order to improve the product experience of LVB app, more and more people choose to build their own streaming media servers when making LVB app, that is, to deploy the servers at the edge of the network, so as to improve service access speed close to users. However, most live app developers do not recommend this. Why? Because the cost of self-built streaming media server will be very high, and the period of self-building will be very long, the requirements for the technical level of technicians are relatively strict, and the last thing to consider is the cost of operation and maintenance, which is also a large expenditure. Moreover, the effect of self-built streaming media server is not good.

4. Is it reliable to find a third-party CDN service provider?

Since self-built streaming servers are not cost-effective in terms of experience and cost, another way is to seek help from three-party cdn service providers. At present, the more famous cdn service providers in China are Aliyun, Tencent Cloud and so on, which are very reliable in providing cdn services. First of all, they have stable nodes all over the country and even in many parts of the world; second, the bandwidth capacity is very strong; finally, pay by quantity, the overall performance-to-price ratio is relatively high. Due to the high bandwidth and speed requirements of LVB business, self-built streaming media server is not guaranteed, so finding a three-party cdn service provider can not only solve these problems, but also provide after-sales service, which is a good choice for LVB app production.

In fact, in the production of LVB app, whether you choose to build a self-built streaming media server or find a three-party cdn service provider, you can achieve LVB business, but the effect is different. But at present, most professional LVB app production teams will choose three-party cdn service providers to assist in the LVB. Therefore, it is recommended that you do not build your own streaming media servers.
