nginx RTMP vs MPEG-TS

Question

I'm trying to figure our what's the best method to receive live streaming video at a server, and making it available back to the client. I noticed two modules for nginx:

• https://github.com/arut/nginx-rtmp-module
• https://github.com/arut/nginx-ts-module

It looks like both modules support HLS for video streaming. What is the difference then between the options?

Answer 1

Apparently you can stream HLS/DASH with both but the nginx-ts-module has fewer features. You can setup both using docker and test which one suits your needs better. I'd almost always go with the simpler option.
