Discussions focus on standard video streaming methods like HTTP streaming, HLS, DASH, adaptive bitrate, and CDNs, often questioning why novel frame-based approaches aren't replaced by these proven browser-compatible techniques for live or on-demand playback.

Why not just stream a normal video stream?
Why can't you simply use plain HTTP streaming directly loaded by the browser with video tag?
why stream on demand if we have the bandwidth to just send the whole video in the first 100ms? this might actually save power; instead of back & forth back & forth with the service, we can transmitnthe whole thing & be done, the server can now go serve other people.
Now do the same with video streaming ...
Streaming anything but frames defeats the purpose of a frame streaming service.
No they're probably just muxing the video stream to an MP4 or something on the server side while the broadcast is happening.
The article suggests that this is for live streaming shows. Would a CDN based approach work in this use case?
Video might mean adaptive bitrate I suppose.
Ok, good point on the streaming.
Looks neat. I want to know if this consumes the same bandwidth required to stream a video ..
