The liquidity capacity of livestreaming related software is still considerable. Many investors are still optimistic about the livestreaming market and are looking for professional software developers to connect with the source development of livestreaming. However, even as investors, they need to have an understanding of the composition of online video live broadcasting platform, so as to better connect with software developers. Let’s take a look at its overall architecture.
1. Basic service module of the platform
In the network video live broadcasting platform, the basic service module contains the most basic services that a live broadcasting system should have. The front desk includes video playback, live screen module, gift reward, Lianmak PK, channel classification, turntable lottery (small game), paid live broadcasting, three-level distribution, online mall, etc. The background includes user management, album and video management, report management, private chat management, financial and gift management, label management, information filtering and so on.
2. Customize the service module
At present, many developers gradually push the online video live broadcasting platform from customization to productization, that is, they first launch a standardized system and then add more additional services according to user needs. For example, by adding the short video module, users can not only live broadcast, but also create content. Or follow the current trend of “live broadcasting with goods” and join the live broadcasting with goods system integrated with shops and malls, so as to provide better support for e-commerce anchors to sell goods.
3. Access to third-party services
In addition to the above modules, the network video live broadcast platform also needs the support of third-party services to become more complete in function. At this time, various TYPES of SDKS are needed: for example, Ronglianyun for SMS verification, Tencent Map and Autonavi for positioning within the platform, Tencent Cloud, Ali Cloud or Qiniuyun for video and picture storage, Apple developer account for application shelves and so on. Without them, on the one hand, you can’t enjoy a better service. On the other hand, because many SDK manufacturers have monopolized the functional market, if you don’t use them and do other development, on the one hand, it is high cost, and on the other hand, it is easy to have problems in compatibility.
4. Video basic service module
As the basic video service occupies a relatively large proportion in the network video live broadcast platform, it is taken out separately. It is more than just the video playing mentioned above, which is just one part of it. The video basic service module is built based on the overall process of audio and video stream collection and playback: through decoding, transcoding, encoding, storage, distribution and other processing, and these processes not only rely on the source code itself, but also rely on the support of external hardware such as cameras.
