In short, OvenMediaEngine (OME) is a Sub-Second Latency Live Streaming Server with Large-Scale and High-Definition.

OvenMediaEngine receives a video/audio source from encoders and cameras such as OvenLiveKit, OBS, XSplit, and more to WebRTC, SRT, RTMP, MPEG-2 TS and RTSP. Then, OME transmits it over LLHLS (Low Latency HLS) and WebRTC.

Like the picture below: OvenMediaEngine supports you can create platforms/services/systems that transmit high-definition video to hundreds-thousand viewers with sub-second latency and be scalable, depending on the number of concurrent viewers.

We also provide OvenPlayer, an Open-Source and JavaScript-based WebRTC Player for OvenMediaEngine.

AirenSoft aims to make it easier for you to build a stable broadcasting/streaming service with Sub-Second Latency. Therefore, we will continue developing and providing the most optimized tools for smooth Sub-Second Latency Streaming.

We have tested OvenMediaEngine on the platforms listed below. However, we think it can work with other Linux packages as well:

• Docker
• Ubuntu 18+
• CentOS 7+
• Fedora 28+

docker run -d \
-p 1935:1935 \
-p 3333:3333 \
-p 3334:3334 \
-p 3478:3478 \
-p 9000:9000 \
-p 9999:9999/udp \
-p 4000:4000/udp \
--name ovenmediaengine \
airensoft/ovenmediaengine:latest

You can also store the configuration files on your host:

docker run -d \
-p 1935:1935 \
-p 3333:3333 \
-p 3334:3334 \
-p 3478:3478 \
-p 9000:9000 \
-p 9999:9999/udp \
-p 4000:4000/udp \
-v ome-origin-conf:/opt/ovenmediaengine/bin/origin_conf \
-v ome-edge-conf:/opt/ovenmediaengine/bin/edge_conf \
--name ovenmediaengine \
airensoft/ovenmediaengine:latest

The configuration files are now accessible under /var/lib/docker/volumes/<volume_name>/_data.

Following the above example, you will find them under /var/lib/docker/volumes/ome-origin-conf/_data and /var/lib/docker/volumes/ome-edge-conf/_data.

If you want to put them in a different location, the easiest way is to create a link:

ln -s /var/lib/docker/volumes/ome-origin-conf/_data/ /my/new/path/to/ome-origin-conf \
&& ln -s /var/lib/docker/volumes/ome-edge-conf/_data/ /my/new/path/to/ome-edge-conf
