DASH isn't supported on Apple AFAIK. HLS would be an idea, yes...

But in either case: you need ffmpeg somewhere in your pipeline for that experience to be even remotely enjoyable. No ffmpeg? No luck, good luck implementing all of that shit yourself.

Or Gstreamer, which the article says they were using.

They said they implemented a WebCodecs websocket custom implementation, surely they can use Dash.js here. Or rather, their LLM can since it's doubtful they are writing any actual code.

They would need to use LL-DASH or HLS low latency but it's quite achievable.
