Research direction

This is a feasibility question rather than a scoped change: the reporter asks whether mp4box.js can demux a live MP4 stream over one websocket instead of two, and no files, APIs or acceptance criteria are given. Read the three existing comments first to see whether a maintainer answered; the payload shows no linked pull request and no decision. A useful outcome would be a concrete answer plus, if live demuxing is unsupported, a design proposal for streaming container input — not a first patch.

Description

enhancement

Hi,

I have being working on a project to build a live streaming solution without the use of HLS or DASH mpeg due to latency issues and cross platform solution.

The Idea was to make the browser decode a H264 video frames and also AAC audio frames.

I manage to do so by using two websocket to stream one video and once audio from FFMPEG.

However I have issues with Syncing the audio/video.

I wanted to know if mp4box.js has the option to demux a live stream mp4 container.
If so, I would use only 1 websocket and demux the stream to play the h264/aac.
Thanks
Sassy
