In a similar vein, I've used VDO.ninja several times to easily stream an iOS device camera into OBS.
it just throws the camera stream onto a webpage, and then I load the page in OBS.
not zero latency but its "good enough" for me to use my phone as a simple extra webcam. works on basically anything that has a web browser + camera.
- kragen 2y agoooh, thanks! is vdo.ninja proprietary? if so, maybe something like mediasoup would enable a self-hosted version? i like the idea of joining half a dozen cellphones to a jitsi chat or similar, then recording all of the streams and allowing on-the-fly stream selection to change camera angles for the live stream
- snailmailman 2y agoIt’s self-hostable. Although im not seeing the link to their GitHub on the main vdo.ninja site. It’s linked to from their docs page though. https://github.com/steveseguin/vdo.ninja https://github.com/steveseguin/vdo.ninja I think the streaming happens P2P either way. So if you don’t self host it I don’t think you incur a latency hit. It should route the video straight from phone->PC. It doesn’t route through their server as far as I know. (Edit: I stand corrected. Their docs mention an encrypted TURN server may get used if a direct connection isn’t possible) I do use the self hosted version anyway. Was pretty easy to setup.
