HTTP Live Streaming (HLS): Apple's protocol, uses M3U8 playlist, -s chunks historically (now -s). Widest device support.
DASH (Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP): open standard, uses XML manifest (MPD), more flexible. Both work over standard HTTP/CDN infrastructure. Choose HLS for iOS compatibility, DASH for advanced features.
