Decentralizing Video Streaming
summary
Proposal: shift server work—transmuxing, decoding, caching, delivery—into browsers using real tools so existing CDNs serve only a few requests and peer meshes carry the rest. Demonstrated JS libs and flows include mp4box.js and hls.js for on‑the‑fly transmuxing, webtorrent and WebRTC data channels for P2P delivery, and Media Source Extensions plus Service Worker, requestIdleCallback, web workers and resource timing to manage CPU, storage and metrics; claimed reductions: up to 95% server traffic and ~20x effective capacity.
