Support For Low Latency HLS

Description

Apple recently released LL-HLS that allows super low-latency HLS. I was wondering when support for LL-HLS will be provided. They claim to have sub 2-sec latency, which would be great feature to have with (non-WebRTC) live streaming.

Forgot to answer. We are aware of all the low latency HLS things but unfortunately we don't have the bandwidth (if you will) right now to work on it.

@SanatSharma Did you get any breakthrough for this LHLS support for Video JS ? or what is your workaround?

[gkatsev]

This is something we are likely going to be working in Q3.

@jitendracodehacker we ended up using webrtc

@gkatsev Have you been able to put any effort in it? Is there a planned release date on the LL HLS feature?
