What are the requirements for Direct Streaming from the Mobile Server?

The requirement for Direct Streaming from the Mobile Server stipulates that the Mobile Client must support H.264/H.265 video. This is crucial because H.264 and H.265 are widely used video compression standards that allow for efficient streaming and storage of high-quality video. H.264, in particular, is prevalent in mobile applications due to its balance of compression efficiency and video quality, making it suitable for use in environments with varying bandwidth availability. H.265, or HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding), offers even better compression rates and is useful for delivering higher resolutions, such as 4K, effectively over mobile networks.

In mobile streaming situations, ensuring compatibility with these codecs is essential for smooth performance and minimal buffering. Without this support, the Mobile Client would be unable to decode the video streams correctly, leading to playback issues. This requirement underscores the importance of compatibility with modern video formats in providing a reliable streaming experience on mobile devices.
