Ant Media Server

Avantages

Super logiciel de streaming avec une version gratuite fonctionnelle

Inconvénients

Configuration qui pourrait être un peu plus facile

Avantages

I had a project that needed 6 channels live streaming 24/7 rtmp at hd.

Costing it out, to use AWS or mux would have cost up to $4k usd in transcoding and ingest costs alone with was way to much for a small project like this.

We opted to buy a second hand Dell r730, install unraid and install Antmedia, which basically paid itself back in less than a few months.

This process was simple and honestly I spent more time working on the server set up, than Antmedia config.

Support is also fantastic!

I had two issues come up, the first was about the api I was using to manage recordings, and I got a detailed response/solution in less than a day.

The second issue was with SSL support and again, extraordinary helpful and customer focused support and resolution.

Overall, very glad to have gone with Antmedia over other options.

Inconvénients

The api documentation could be a little more user friendly, but it's minor stuff really.

I would like a unraid docker instance in the unraid community apps, to make install, updates and ssl management easier, rather than having manual management.

Again it's a minor issue really, but would have been very helpful and easier to Antmedia as an option when researching.

Avantages

Ease of live broadcast on multiple platforms, Youtube, X, Facebook.
Excellent UPTime - No record of transmission failure in more than 3 months of transmitting live content to YouTube (Infinite Live).
Low equipment consumption and cloud service (processing, memory and file system).

Inconvénients

A more intuitive console for the end user.

Avantages

Very fast and really easy to use. Installation is a snap.

Inconvénients

Nothing at all. The price is right and the service is excellent.

Avantages

Inconvénients

At the moment we are in evaluation phase. Lack of documentation

Avantages

Very easy to use, the technical support is also very good, if there are problems they will be enough to help us solve.

I don't see any disadvantages, there may be a lot of documentations, but if you ask them directly, you will get very patient answers.

The learning curve to implement custom streaming experiences.

The only downside I’ve noticed is that initial configuration might feel a bit complex for beginners, but once it's set up, everything runs smoothly.

Avantages

It was superb enjoyed using the feature and will recommend everyone.

Avantages

Easy to setup - the guides were informative, and the staff at the support desk quite responsive.

Inconvénients

There are some elements of the webUI that did not lend themselves previously to ease of use, e.g. it was not always obvious to me (even as a tech person) how to setup stream keys intuitively - fortunately, the UI is simple enough that it only takes a few minutes of trial and error to safely and non-destructively figure out what's going on.

Avantages

I like how their documentation is very helpful and how easy it is to set up

Inconvénients

I'm on an older version soi don't feel like it's fair to judge this
