Best protocol to send ad playback video to browse and change runtime playback settings

[F Weers]

I was looking into this as well. Thank you for mentioning HLS, that is very

I could not find it online, but I think it's worth asking here: does
GStreamer support the creation of HLS 'files' using fragmented MP4 (to also
easily support mpeg dash)?

Thanks!
