HESP limitations

• Device compatibility — HESP requires support for streaming HTTP requests, which is not available on very old devices such as 2015 smart TVs. On those devices, the player automatically falls back to HLS, which plays on almost any device but with higher latency — typically around 10 seconds.
• Feature compatibility — Not all streaming protocol features (like liveoffset, ...), available in the OptiView Player, have been tested or verified with HESP streams. For guidance on compatibility, please reach out to the OptiView support team.
