19. HOW TO CHOOSE THE
RIGHT TECHNOLOGY

20. Basic Video Streaming Process

21. Using a free
platform like
Vimeo or
Youtube
Using paid
streaming host
like Ustream
NGINX+FFMPEG Using WowzaUsing
Flussonic
Solutions for Hosting Streaming
Video On Your Website
Building your
own custom
solution

22. This solution doesn’t fit all businesses, it’s
not so secure and personalized as other
options;
Go to the
YouTube page
get the HTML code
Paste this code into
page on your website
where you want to
host the video;
Copy the code
displayed in the
box;
Using a free platform like Vimeo or
Youtube
It’s free and easy to implement.

23. Using paid streaming host to get custom
service
You don’t need to worry about installing an
encoder;
Wider functionality than in Youtube;
Basic packages + paid service depending on
the scale of your stream;
A properly formatted live streaming video which
you’ll be able to upload to the host’s website.
Their player, their logo on it
You depend on their service, not
as independent and secure as
some other options

24. Using NGINX Server and FFMPEG Library
The simplest free custom solution;
FFMPEG processes your video and NGINX distributes a video to your users
Can use your own player without being
dependant on Youtube or Ustream;
Absolute control over streaming content;
Needs constant support;
Don’t need to worry about security.
Expensive support.

25. Using Flussonic
A totally automated system;
No need for support afterwards, as a
result, it’s cheaper;
Extremely powerful;
Need a tech expert to install it;
It has its API, the visual component,
everything is set and working.
Need a super powerful server +
the right specialist for
configuration process;
A system ‘in the box’, it’s not a
modular, so can’t expand it.

26. Using Wowza
Extremely popular;
A multi-modular system where you can
switch off or add some functionality;
Not as powerful as Flussonic;
Easy to install;
Around 50% of plugins don’t
work, some of them may even
break the system;
Written in Java which hurts
productivity.
Available plugins.

27. Video

28. Building your own custom solution
Customize everything to fit their specific
business needs;
Using your own servers and building custom solutions like Wowza or Flussonic yourself
Increase productivity;
Extremely scalable;
Expert team needed
Can have their own advertising, the platform is
branded, so they have full control over their
own product.
More expensive

29. How custom solutions are implemented
by businesses
Media
Product companies
Big brands
Video streaming startups
● their own servers and their own libraries;
● increase productivity;
● air their own advertising;
● want to have their own branded player;
● need their internal network.

31. ● You may choose among free solutions like Youtube, relatively cheap ones like Ustream, specially
built solutions based on Flussonic or Wowza, or just build everything from scratch and have full
control over your product;
● There are multiple solutions for hosting a streaming video on your website;
● You need to weigh up the pros and cons of every option including the cost, productivity, need for
support, availability of specialists, maintainability, scalability etc.;
Implications
● Study how different businesses and industries build video streaming software to make your choice
easier;
● Although custom solutions are more expensive, only they can give you full control and security.

32. HOW TO FIND THE TEAM

33. Video software development team
Linux OS Sysadmin
Transcoder specialist
FFMPEG specialist
Front/Back-end dev
The Roles:

34. Transcoder & Scalability
● The first server consists of video processors like FFMPEG and Avi sync and a transcoder that
automates their work.
● Build a scalable server system with one main server on which you’ll build and install other
components, namely FFMPEG transcoder + Avi Sync.
● To synchronize it all with the website, you need to configure it all, manage all the Flussonic
settings to meet your individual needs.

35. Scalability & Geolocation
The main server will send the stream to a local server.
Think about geolocation issues when you start building your platform.
In huge streaming platforms like Periscope, the system is highly scalable, the main cluster monitors
and controls the load of other servers and manages the new users to spread the load equally
between the servers.

36. ● The work of such specialists is more expensive than regular development services;
● You should have a good Linux sysadmin, transcoder and FFMPEG specialists in your team;
● It’s difficult to find the team for a video streaming development project;
● Think about scalability before starting development as you need to think about streaming
hours and the growth of userbase;
Implications
● Geolocation of your users matters a lot for building a fast and scalable video streaming system,
so you should think about it too;
● Despite the complexity of such project, don’t be afraid to start it. The first adopters of video
streaming have already earned millions on it. You can’t lag behind. Keep up with the progress!
