Frameworks is full-stack video infrastructure from a Livepeer Special Purpose Entity (SPE). It combines full self-hosting with optional hosted processing, powered by MistServer: run the stack yourself, use Frameworks’ hosted services, or mix both. Frameworks connects to Livepeer’s decentralised GPU network for AI and transcoding workloads, giving operators a sovereign, unclouded alternative to managed video platforms.

​
Key Features

  • Full self-hosting - Run the complete video stack on your own infrastructure with no vendor lock-in.
  • Hosted processing - Use Frameworks’ hosted ingest and transcoding services where self-hosting is not practical.
  • StreamCrafter - Browser-based live production tool: mix sources, add graphics, and go live without desktop software.
  • Skipper - Routing and load-balancing layer for directing streams across ingest and processing nodes.
  • MistServer powered - Built on MistServer for flexible, open-source media server capabilities.
