Alessandro RosandGitHub b5b63d02fc support reading and publishing with Media-over-QUIC (#5815)
Media-over-QUIC is a streaming protocol built upon cutting edge
protocols (QUIC, HTTP3) and browser APIs (WebTransport, WebCodecs).
It's slightly faster than WebRTC, has an advanced data recovery
mechanism (placed at the frame level and not at the packet level), it
supports additional codecs (FLAC) and is less complicated to route.

HLS is a streaming protocol that works by splitting streams into segments, and by serving these segments and a playlist with the HTTP protocol. You can use MediaMTX to connect to one or several existing HLS servers and read their media streams:

paths:
  proxied:
    # url of the playlist of the stream, in the format http://user:pass@host:port/path
    source: http://original-url/stream/index.m3u8

The resulting stream will be available on path /proxied.
