We've built a custom protocol that fans out fMP4 directly to players via websockets. The latency is great, just around 1 second and no more concerns about CDN hit rates. It's been running smoothly in our tests with hundreds of viewers, but note that we haven't stress tested it at a large scale yet. If anyone wants to self-host it, I'd be happy to share.
