Abstract
Systems and methods for low latency and lossless content streaming are provided. Particularly, an improved system architecture is provided that reduces the latency that may occur between a live stream going online and content first being presented to viewer devices. The improved system architecture also mitigates or eliminates content loss that may occur when a transcode server performing transcoding for the live stream crashes. To accomplish these benefits, the improved system architecture includes a buffer within the ingest server that receives content from the broadcaster device. The use of the buffer allows the content to be more quickly accessed by the transcode server, therefore reducing latency. The use of the buffer also eliminates content loss that may otherwise occur in the live stream or a recording of the live stream (for a video on demand).
