Frame Freezing
Since video streaming involves multiple parties, from live TV sources to the CDN and then to the audience, frame freezing is a possibility during video playback. Here, the key challenge is in improving the video viewing experience by tackling high concurrency in live TV sources, multi-CDN dynamic routing, and unstable streaming to the audience.Since video streaming involves multiple parties, from live TV sources to the CDN and then to the audience, frame freezing is a possibility during video playback.

Delays in Live Broadcast
Since the live broadcast process involves a series of software and hardware devices, including streaming, network, and video consumption devices as well as live broadcast software codecs, small delays are seen to be acceptable. However, delays that are too large can cause interaction and calling synchronization errors, adversely affecting user experience.Since the live broadcast process involves a series of software and hardware devices, including streaming, network, and video consumption devices as well as live broadcast software codecs, small delays are seen to be acceptable.

High Broadcast Traffic
The use of high definition and 4K photography devices has further propelled demand for high-quality video viewing experiences, increasing pressure on network traffic and leading to higher traffic fees, often accounting for 3/4 of video broadcast costs.The use of high definition and 4K photography devices has further propelled demand for high-quality video viewing experiences, increasing pressure on network traffic and leading to higher traffic fees, often accounting for 3/4 of video broadcast costs.
