Ezserver is a high-performance VOD and IPTV streaming platform designed for modern video delivery and large-scale media distribution. Built entirely in native C/C++, Ezserver is engineered for efficient media delivery, low resource consumption, high concurrency, and reliable 24/7 operation.
Ezserver supports both video-on-demand (VOD) and IPTV streaming, providing a unified platform for movies, series, live channels, catch-up TV, and large-scale media distribution.
Ezserver provides a high-performance platform for video-on-demand delivery, allowing websites, businesses, and organizations to deliver their own video libraries directly from their infrastructure. It is designed for movies, training videos, corporate content, product videos, promotional content, digital signage, and private video libraries .
Ezserver supports efficient HTTP-based video delivery and browser playback while providing a foundation for next-generation low-latency and interactive video delivery. Future QUIC-based technologies are being evaluated to further improve delivery efficiency, responsiveness, and scalability.
Ezserver provides a powerful platform for IPTV and VOD streaming, supporting live channels, movies, series, catch-up TV, and large-scale media distribution.
Ezserver combines live IPTV streaming and video-on-demand services in a unified streaming platform. It supports different delivery technologies including HTTP MPEG-TS, HLS, with next-generation QUIC-based streaming technology being developed for future low-latency and high-efficiency applications.
Cloud and distributed architectures allow Ezserver to scale across multiple servers and locations, providing efficient media delivery for IPTV operators, OTT platforms, VOD services, hospitality, retail networks, transportation, digital signage, and large viewer populations .
Modern video services require different delivery technologies for live IPTV and video-on-demand applications. HTTP MPEG-TS, HLS, RTMP, and WebRTC each provide different trade-offs between compatibility, latency, resource usage, interactivity, and scalability.
Ezserver is developing a next-generation QUIC-based streaming architecture designed for efficient media delivery, ultra-low latency, and massive scalability . The architecture is intended to provide a modern foundation for future IPTV, VOD, and interactive video services.
Ezserver is developing a next-generation QUIC-based video delivery architecture to support efficient media delivery, low latency, interactive streaming, and high scalability .
This technology roadmap is intended to extend Ezserver beyond traditional HTTP-based delivery and provide a future-ready foundation for both VOD and IPTV streaming.
Ezserver is implemented as a native C/C++ application and operates without requiring Apache, Nginx, PHP, Java, or SQL database systems for its core streaming functions. This lightweight architecture reduces system complexity and allows VOD and IPTV infrastructure to be deployed efficiently on dedicated servers and cloud environments.
