Body: <p>I have been looking to <strong>live video streaming</strong> where a client can join the stream of bytes and play the video automatically. I have recently found MPEG-TS which seems to work pretty well, and I noticed if I replace the .ts file with another format .mp4 or .mkv it doesn't work. I was just wondering if there are any alternative to MPEG-TS that I could test out, or is this the leading pioneer of this type of streaming?</p>
  <p>Thanks</p>
  <p>EDIT: Could I use a stream of h.264 bytes?</p>

  I have been looking to **live video streaming** where a client can join the stream of bytes and play the video automatically. I have recently found MPEG-TS which seems to work pretty well, and I noticed if I replace the .ts file with another format .mp4 or .mkv it doesn't work. I was just wondering if there are any alternative to MPEG-TS that I could test out, or is this the leading pioneer of this type of streaming?
  
  Thanks
