HISPlayer is a media player plugin for Unreal Engine, designed for both live streams and video on demand (VOD) streams using the HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) and DASH formats. A Stream Media Source is an asset that enables you to stream a video in the supported URL format inside Unreal Engine. Our Media Player provides streaming functionality in Unreal projects by supporting HLS and DASH. E.g. HLS, the server fragments the media files into segments and creates an index file. This index file contains the list of the media segments and their location that the client reads and uses to format its requests for media playback. HLS also supports variant streams for the media files with different bitrates so the client can minimize stalling in playback. The variant streams are defined in another index file, called the master playlist. For more details on the HLS architecture, check Apple’s HLS documentation.
