Superstreamer is a self hostable platform that aims to simplify the complexities of video delivery. Transcode and package your media for online streaming with simple API calls and sane defaults, or craft dynamic HLS playlists on the fly with bumpers, ads and filters.
- Transcode your video file into separate quality tracks (eg; 1080p, 720p, 480p).
- Write
HLS CMAFplaylists directly to S3, ready for playback! - Want to insert a bumper like Netflix? Stitch it as an HLS interstitial on the fly.
- Insert linear ads as interstitials by providing a simple VMAP, or schedule VAST manually.
- Use our player facade, a simplified API alongside HLS.js, tailored for developers building a player UI.
