Media Source Extensions (MSE), Low-Latency HLS & CMAF Studio

1. Streaming Protocol & Codec Profile Configuration

2. SourceBuffer Memory Timeline & fMP4 Binary Box Dissector

3. Production Low-Latency MSE Ingest Pipeline

// TypeScript: Production MSE CMAF Chunk Ingest Engine
const video = document.querySelector('video') as HTMLVideoElement;
const mediaSource = new MediaSource();
video.src = URL.createObjectURL(mediaSource);

mediaSource.addEventListener('sourceopen', async () => {
  const mimeCodec = 'video/mp4; codecs="avc1.640028"';
  if (!MediaSource.isTypeSupported(mimeCodec)) {
    throw new Error('MIME codec ' + mimeCodec + ' is unsupported by browser');
  }

  const sourceBuffer = mediaSource.addSourceBuffer(mimeCodec);
  sourceBuffer.mode = 'segments'; // Sequence-mode for live streams

  // Stream CMAF chunks via Fetch ReadableStream
  const response = await fetch('/live/stream.mp4');
  const reader = response.body!.getReader();

  const queue: Uint8Array[] = [];
  let isUpdating = false;

  const pushNext = () => {
    if (queue.length > 0 && !sourceBuffer.updating) {
      const chunk = queue.shift()!;
      sourceBuffer.appendBuffer(chunk);
    }
  };

  sourceBuffer.addEventListener('updateend', () => {
    // Evict historical buffer to avoid QuotaExceededError
    if (video.currentTime > 20) {
      sourceBuffer.remove(0, video.currentTime - 15);
    }
    pushNext();
  });

  while (true) {
    const { done, value } = await reader.read();
    if (done) break;
    queue.push(value);
