So when you suggest HLS and no middleware, you are outsourcing? If you want to have fun, HEVC+HLS is a great way to lose some hair ;) From: Af [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Chuck McCown Sent: July 5, 2016 9:08 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] IPTV You have to groom your network, and supply set top boxes. Then there are troubleshooting issues at times. And you have middleware and middleware licensing and costs. For a full implementation you gotta have a headend etc. Big investment. None of that happens with HLS. IGMP is more time consuming than just giving out the username and password and letting the customer do the rest. If they can do netflix, they can do HLS. I have done both. Actually I did IGMP twice. If your viewer can stream Netflix, they can stream something and you may as well make money off that something. The network is going to be used either way.

With the way things are moving, it's not worth investing in a full setup like most companies are using right now. The system Chuck is working on could be worthwhile when available.
