I don't have an idea on how to do cascading OBS instances. I should write some software to make this easy though. I want to make 'self hosting' as easy as possible. I think https://github.com/glimesh/broadcast-box https://github.com/glimesh/broadcast-box will fill that gap for now.
For my own usage I run WebRTC servers and have them 'replicate' the video traffic. LiveKit did a write up on this with some good graphics https://blog.livekit.io/scaling-webrtc-with-distributed-mesh/ https://blog.livekit.io/scaling-webrtc-with-distributed-mesh...
- prox 3y agoWhat I would like to see is a Twitch like experience but within your own space, aka what a website is for the web, and the hoster is nothing more than a facilitator. So you pay for the basic tech and maybe bandwidth but the rest is up to the streamer. Would be great to have a real alternative to Twitch that’s completely your own. People could still federate, but there is also a mainhub (broadcastbox.com or whatever) Anyway it’s super exciting stuff! Great work!
- bluefirebrand 3y agoI have been thinking about this a bit, kind of like a "what if you could set up a streaming website as easily as a wordpress blog"
- Sean-Der 3y agoThat was my hope for Broadcast Box! Mind checking it out and telling me what you think? It has a docker image so you should be able to run a 'streaming site' with just a few commands :)
- prox 3y agoWhat if you create extra facilities on a unified website? I would pay for that. Maybe sub functions, chat functions and so on. You need that for more discoverability I think.
- sitkack 3y agoThanks for the response, I’ll take a look. I really appreciate how much focus you put into this project. I think it does good for the world.
