Maybe I want to do an experiment when I will do the Prague presentation. What if we try to stream it to our Peertube via a mobile phone? :) Is there a FOSS app that allows us to directly stream RTMP to @PeerTube ? Anyone knows? Am curious.... #tromstuff

EDIT: Ok I can stream with the awesome Peertube Live app codeberg.org/Schoumi/PeerTubeL… but they need to update it to support the new Peertube API. If they do it in time and I can create permanent lives and with transcoding, we can give it a shot and stream the Prague presentation to our Peertube.

Rokosun reshared this.

Could this work for you? 🤔

Oh nice! But I see the fdroid version is not updated in a year.....despite the code being updated recently....we need to figure why

yeah I noticed that too, maybe you should report it and see what they say.

I tried out OBS Ninja (now called VDO Ninja) a few years for direct P2P streaming and video conferencing:
vdo.ninja/
youtube.com/watch?v=QaA_6aOP9z…

Basically it just sends video directly from browser to browser, and apparently works to stream from phone too. I remember having to tweak the advanced settings to get the best out of it, but maybe the defaults work better these days:

@BB Can it stream to #Peertube? I think Tio just wants to showcase Peertube on his live presentation that's gonna be in Prague.

I have no experience with PeerTube, but from a quick look at the docs for that I guess it should work with their "Import with URL" option?

@BB
I also don't have any experience streaming on Peertube, but Tio can probably take a look at it and see if it works. Thanks for your input :)

This might also be of interest for more advanced uses, but I don't think you should need anything extra to the above just to send a simple stream to Peertube:
github.com/steveseguin/social_…
docs.vdo.ninja/steves-helper-a…
" peertube (triggers on: https://*/plugins/livechat/router/webchat/room/) "

There are also native Android and iOS apps for it, but not sure if they are preferred over the browser version...

While the VDO.Ninja browser-based app version is suggested for most users, this native Android app version has a few key advantages:
- Can stream video while running in the background or with the screen off
- Screen sharing is supported, including the sharing of third-party apps
- Works on certain devices that won't support webRTC via the browser

I think Fedilab is just about watching streams and not you streaming to Peertube....
