MistServer began as a high-performance repackager, but it has evolved into a toolkit that can stitch together complete streaming pipelines. Calling it merely a media server undersells what it can do.
Extremely Crash-Resistant
Each stream, viewer, and input in MistServer runs in its own process, preventing issues in one area from impacting others.
Dedicated input, output, and controller processes keep the system resilient even under heavy load or in failure scenarios.
Reliable Recovery
MistServer employs guardian “angel” processes that restore state if something does go wrong. Updates can be applied while streams stay online, with new connections using the updated version immediately.
Efficiency is Key
Shared memory and an internal format let multiple outputs reuse the same data without added delay—transcoding between input and output costs only a single frame.
Integration Made Easy
MistServer provides both an API and a Triggers system so you can adapt the server flow to your workflow.
Stream processes let you attach encoders, analytics, or other tooling to any track, making MistServer a flexible toolkit rather than a fixed appliance.
