A live broadcast open p2p protocol

I can’t remember the name now (and struggling to find it) but there was some packaging of VLC with I think a customised libtorrent, where someone would effectively broadcast with an infohash (sha hash like in a torrent) and people could stream and share with not much latency. Hashes were shared on sites/telegram/discord etc and it seemed to work ok.

Surprised it didn’t become more popular/standardised

I can only find links for acestream but it's not an open protocol. If you have other suggestions I'm all ears.

Thanks, think that’s the one I remember. Would be great if there was an open alternative

Edit: there are open source repositories but I’m not sure if part of it is closed source? https://github.com/acestream?tab=repositories
