Yep, spot on - this and some level of inbound filtering are the only reason we use an external platform. That said, with the volume of inbound reports coming from LLMs, the signal-…

Congrats to the team at Stainless, it's a great team to be joining over at Anthropic. We were an ealy adopter of their Node SDK generator at Mux (and latterly their Typescript and …

In the interests of transparent disclosure on such a positive blog post, It might be worth calling out that all the links on the page are all linked to the Bunny Affiliate Program.…

I know it's not public domain per-say, but for me, the thing that's most exciting is that in 2025, the last remaining patents on the h.264 (AVC) video codec will expire [1]. Now if…

Disclaimer: We're an early adopter of Stainless at Mux. I've spent more of my time than I'd like to admit managing both OpenAPi spec files [1] and fighting with openapi-generator […

A more energy efficient dishwasher would be nice though...

Super interesting, it really depends on what you mean by "choppy". Are you seeing the video re-buffer (a loading spinner re-appearing), or just the video looking stuttery? My video…

Great question! The real answer is it varies, but for H.264, most just encode on software right now, because GPUs are expensive (especially in the cloud), and the failure rates are…

Hey, I work in the Product team at Mux, and worked on the LL-HLS spec and our implementation, I own our real-time video strategy too. We do offer LL-HLS in an open beta today [1], …

We actually built How Video Works as a side project at Mux [1] (inspired by How DNS Works [2]) - there's a note about it at the top of the page. We have contributions from our own …

DRM'd video content uses the same video codecs and containers, but introduces segment encryption during the packaging phase. In most cases, this encryption is within the audio and …

While HLS isn't the cleanest protocol (Yay for extensions of the M3U playlist format...), it's actually really good at what it's designed to do - provide reliable video streaming w…

Do you have a marketing site or landing page for Padka? It sounds interesting, but just linking to a .pkg file on S3 really isn't the way to educate HN users about your offering! L…

So many permissions, but meanwhile autoplaying video and audio is still hidden behind a horrible heuristic model in Chrome that fundamentally prioritises internet giants like YouTu…

I work in the video streaming industry, and we continue to support TLS 1.1 extensively for a wide range of "smart" TVs and set-top boxes, very frustrating, there was even a long pe…

This was briefly interesting and then I quickly started to see blatant racism, threats and rape accusations.

I don't realistically see this as being a killer feature for most users, but it's super interesting none the less. Sony are saying the bitrate will be "Up to 80Mbps", which is arou…

This isn't accurate at all. HLML 5 video, MSE etc. have a world of improvements over the mess of FLV / Flash / RTMP streaming. Can you give some examples of what's wrong with HTML5…

Great question. There's a few approaches depending on your target latency. If you need to get below 2 seconds, yes, you'll likely want to use a WebRTC based technology to deliver t…

No worries! While some of the larger UGC platforms do use VP9 for live streaming, it is only for a limited subset of high concurrent viewer streams, and yes, in many cases those ar…

Sure, but this was my point, x264 is very fast on commodity hardware, the overwhelming amount of video delivered is still h.264, especially on live video, and in particular for low…

Great question, this is a large, complicated topic, but here's a quick overview. For context I've been building live streaming video infrastructure for a little over 10 years now. …

Great question, it's actually not quite that simple. HTML5 was indeed supposed to bring trivial video to the browser, and it almost did. If you want a good video streaming experien…
