Solid Streaming Application with Android Hiccups
What do you like best about the product?
I like Wowza Streaming's Multi Bitrate auto Bandwidth and the ability to convert codecs and create multiple resolutions. Setting up a live stream from OBS to the web was easy, and while making something broadcast-ready was more complex, it was still okay.
What do you dislike about the product?
{"HLS Playback in Android makes still problems. Solution Stream about HTTPS, but sorry Android users are 60% of the world, nice that it works for Apple but just for Apple that are less people.","RTSP RTMO Streams are not good supported on, for example, Pixel 7 Phones.","MP3 is not playing over RTSP.","If we want to configure to open direct a RTSP Stream it was not working at all.","A price that is a little bit too high for me private."}

A solid solution for our streaming content
What do you like best about the product?
The setup and ease of use allowed us to quickly get our videos to our users. Most of the options we needed where there right from the get go. Once we got the hang of it, it was easy to implement things like a streamlock to secure our videos as well as some other checks to make sure our content is secure.

Only a minor gripe as our team doesn't have a native Java programmer. So we had to come to grips with the basics of it to add some functionality to lock streams to only be allowed from specific URL's

It allowed us to stream videos without progressive download issues; the fact that it is a dedicated server makes it easier for us to ensure we got enough capacity to keep things running smoothly.
