Low-Latency HLS is a [recently standardized](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-pantos-hls-rfc8216bis) variant of the protocol that allows to greatly reduce playback latency. It works by splitting segments into parts, that are served before the segment is complete.
LL-HLS is disabled by default. To enable it, a TLS certificate is needed and can be generated with OpenSSL:
LL-HLS is disabled by default. To enable it, set the `hlsVariant` parameter in the configuration file:
```yml
hlsVariant: lowLatency
```
Every stream published to the server can be read with LL-HLS by visiting:
```
https://localhost:8888/mystream
```
If the stream is not shown correctly, try tuning the `hlsPartDuration` parameter, for instance:
```yml
hlsPartDuration: 500ms
```
### Low-Latency variant and Apple devices
In order to correctly display Low-Latency HLS streams in Safari running on Apple devices (iOS or macOS), a TLS certificate is needed and can be generated with OpenSSL:
```
openssl genrsa -out server.key 2048

### Decrease latency
in HLS, latency is introduced since a client must wait for the server to generate segments before downloading them. This latency amounts to 1-15secs depending on the duration of each segment, and to 500ms-3s if the Low-Latency variant is enabled.
