It's not just on BSDs that these breakages occur. The forums are full of reports, many of which occur on Linux.
And yes, I've actually considered starting a project of my own. The main thing that gives me pause is not writing the CRUD and server bits but learning ins and outs of the absolute beast that is FFMPEG.
- selectodude 3y agoIt’s enough of a beast that jellyfin actually created a custom spin of it.
- predictabl3 3y agoWith gstreamer and it's webrtcbin stuff, it's incredibly easy to hack something together that would get an MVP going. I'd love to see a modular, but integrated approach, and one that lets me treat the media server itself as fungible. I want a sqlite database that is easily syncable/backup/restorable, I want a small Rust component that does media scanning and writes metadata to the database, and another small server component that has "storage" plugins for accessing the actual media and then uses gstreamer to "simul-cast" it to any WebRTC capable client. Imagine being able to WHIP your media into an OBS session, or have it cast side-by-side with a webcam feed to an RPi hooked up to a TV. Etc. If I could clone myself, this is the project Clone #1 would work on.
