RTMP browser compatibility

Modern browsers do not include a native RTMP decoder. RTMP URLs are accepted and recorded without conversion, but direct browser playback requires an RTMP-capable desktop application. HLS and SLDP URLs are played directly by their respective web players.

HLS playback requirements

The remote streaming server or CDN must permit cross-origin browser access. Playlist and segment responses need suitable CORS headers for this player domain.
