HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) is a streaming protocol developed by Apple Inc. It is widely used for delivering live and on-demand multimedia content over the internet. HLS breaks the content into small, manageable chunks and segments them into files. These segments are then delivered to the client devices via HTTP. The media files in HLS are typically encoded in H.264 for video and AAC for audio.
