Let's get testing! about owncast HOT 6 CLOSED

I’ll try it this weekend with an incoming stream from restream.

from owncast.

Did a simple test stream last night and it seemed to go well! Aside from the audio, but that was my fault for having bad audio. Next time I want to point to my other server to test out multiple bit rates, though. Last night just had passthrough audio and video to keep it simple. A couple people jumped in the chat, so I was glad to see that working for people for the first time.

This person https://mastodon.art/@controlfreak/104419948557737008 was interested in what we're up to and wanted to test the server, so I figure this week I'll tie up any of the "let's make sure this is in before we give it to anybody else" type things and then we can cut a 0.0.1 release to try out. It'll be nice to have somebody download a binary and just fire it up and see how that works for them.

We can look into using a packaging system such as packr2 (https://github.com/gobuffalo/packr) to include all of the built production items into a single binary instead of distributing a zip file. Any thoughts on that?

I did actually think about that at first, as it would be super convenient. But then I thought how nice it is for people to be able to edit the HTML files, swap out images, or edit the javascript right on disk in plain text. And since an on-disk webroot is required anyway, for serving the video, having the other actual web files there is fine. Though I'm still interested in packaging things up, as it's super handy, but maybe isn't the best fit here.

I'm this person. replying as requested

happy to do a server setup out on hetzner cloud and/or also in my studio
happy to test streaming as well on multiple builds of obs in multiple distros as well as maybe restream?

Hey @controlfreakstudio, thanks for joining the conversation, and thanks for volunteering!

@graywolf336 in testing today just discovered an incompatibility with Restream, so I'm currently looking into resolving that. But pointing OBS directly to Owncast should be fine.

I figured after I look at this Restream issue we can get our first release out this week for you to pull down and run.

On a side note, I don't know why I hadn't looked at your Bandcamp page until just now. I added a couple of your releases to my cart!
