Versions:
live777, developed by binbat, is a lightweight, open-source WebRTC server engineered for real-time, low-latency video and audio streaming. Positioned in the “Streaming Media – Server” category, the application acts as a SFU (Selective Forwarding Unit) that ingests RTP/RTCP traffic from cameras, encoders, or browsers and redistributes the stream to any number of viewers without re-encoding, preserving original quality while keeping CPU load minimal. Typical deployments include live event broadcasting, educational webinars, interactive gaming, remote drone or security camera monitoring, and embedding private video channels into existing web portals; because every connection is end-to-end encrypted over SRTP, it is equally suited for corporate town-halls or tele-health consultations that demand strict privacy. The server exposes a REST and WebSocket API, allowing developers to request or revoke publish/play tokens, query active sessions, and record individual tracks to disk for later VOD playback. Version 0.7.3, the third public release, introduces automatic adaptive bitrate control, cluster-aware routing for horizontal scaling, and a Prometheus metrics exporter that outputs per-track packet-loss, jitter, and round-trip time for granular observability. Administrators can run the single binary on Windows, Linux, or macOS, optionally containerized, and configure STUN/TURN endpoints for NAT traversal so viewers behind restrictive firewalls still receive stable feeds. Configuration is file-based (YAML) yet can be overridden through environment variables, simplifying DevOps pipelines. The project maintains semantic versioning; migration notes between the three published versions are kept in the repository changelog to guarantee repeatable deployments. live777 is available for free on wget.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources (e.g. winget), always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
