Best for IPTV, CCTV and corporate video servers
Flussonic is a streaming media server for IPTV, CCTV and corporate video, running on Linux. Prices are not published, it has no webinar features, and the vendor steers most buyers to its other products.
Who Flussonic is for
- Fits if you run an IPTV or CCTV service on your own servers
- Works for teams with Linux admins
Who Flussonic is not for
- Skip it if you want published prices, as you must request a demo or quote
- Not for you if you want a webinar tool, since there is no registration or chat
- Watch out: the vendor steers most buyers to Watcher, Catena, Mcaster or Agora
- Too heavy for non-technical users, as it runs only on Linux
Why Flussonic gets a 1.2
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyNo price is published; the page points to a quote and mentions a developer license from $100.

Keep Flussonic, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Flussonic you would be making live video to hundreds of people at once. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 60 of the 60 other webinar and live streaming tools grade higher.
What you could not
- Live video to hundreds of people at once.
- Video calls.
- A real app for Linux. Something home-made would be a web page.
- It plugs into other products, AWS, Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure among them.
What this rests on. Flussonic’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is Flussonic?
Flussonic Media Server is the streaming core behind the vendor's IPTV, surveillance, broadcast and corporate TV products. It ingests, transcodes, records and delivers video over protocols including HLS, WebRTC and SRT. It is built for operators and developers rather than for hosting registered webinars.
Worth knowing
- Prices are not published: the page points to a demo and quote request and mentions a developer license 'from $100' sold at my.flussonic.com.
- It has no registration pages, attendee chat or webinar scheduling; it delivers the video only.
- The vendor steers most buyers to its specialized products (Watcher, Catena, Mcaster, Agora) instead of the bare media server.
Key features
- Ingest and delivery
- Takes in IP cameras, SDI, RTMP, SRT and more, and delivers over HLS, LL-HLS, DASH, WebRTC, SRT and MPEG-TS.
- Transcoding
- Multi-bitrate output with H.264, H.265 and AV1, and hardware acceleration on NVIDIA and Intel QuickSync.
- Archive and DVR
- Built-in recording with timeshift and storage on local disks, NAS or S3, with no stated limit on archive depth.
- Access protection
- DRM, token-based authentication and geo-based access control are listed for protecting streams.
- Clustering and deployment
