HTTP/3 & QUIC Video Delivery

HTTP/3 VOD & IPTV Streaming

Ezserver supports HTTP/3 over QUIC for both live IPTV using MPEG-TS over UDP and VOD using MP4 over UDP, while retaining established HLS and HTTP MPEG-TS delivery options.

One HTTP/3 architecture, two streaming workloads

Use HTTP/3 for supported live and on-demand delivery paths without removing existing IPTV and OTT workflows.

Live IPTV

MPEG-TS over UDP

HTTP/3 + QUIC delivery for continuous live channel streams in the Ezserver implementation.

  • Live channel delivery
  • Native C/C++ implementation
  • Coexists with HTTP MPEG-TS and HLS
Video on demand

MP4 over UDP

HTTP/3 + QUIC delivery for MP4-based movies and series, including modern browser playback where supported.

  • Movie and series delivery
  • File-based VOD playback
  • Coexists with established HTTP delivery
Compatibility note

HTTP/3 requires a compatible client and network path. Browser support for specific media containers and codecs varies; HLS and compatible players remain useful for broader device coverage.

Delivery technology comparison

High-level usage guidance. Actual latency, CPU, memory and scalability depend on workload, configuration, client and network conditions.

Built into a native streaming engine

HTTP/3 delivery is part of Ezserver's broader VOD and IPTV platform, alongside established streaming inputs, transcoding, APIs and multi-node deployment.

  • Native C/C++ streaming engine
  • HTTP/3 + QUIC for supported live and VOD delivery
  • HLS and HTTP MPEG-TS compatibility options
  • Linux and Windows deployment
