MSE is playback only, so no option for live broadcast. WebRTC is VP9 and a peer protocol (RTP) not compatible to existing streaming environments (RTMP, HLS). It requires a proxy/transcoder. It also does not allow local recording in mp4 properly, and the codec details cannot be accessed. Many other features lacking which would be possible in native capture/encoding/streaming code. _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
