OvenLiveKit-Web VS neko

I had great luck with setting up OvenMediaEngine with a custom OvenLiveKit player HTML. I stream to the server via RTMP and it publishes the stream over WebRTC. In the best case I got around 1 second latency, since there's a bit of overhead while converting audio channels (WebRTC only supports Opus, OBS only supports AAC (I think)). Also you can't use B-Frames, so you need to pay attention to that in OBS.

We also set WebRTC as input and output by applying OvenLiveKit for Web, which can send media stream to OvenMediaEngine's WebRTC Provider to direct broadcasting using a webcam/microphone on the desktop rather than an encoder as OvenStreamEncoder, OBS, or XSplit. Well, If you are interested in OvenLiveKit for Web, click HERE for more information.

I personally use neko-rooms with my friends for this purpose. Just let's all share a browser in a browser with plenty of options (Firefox, Chromium, Brave, etc.). You can also just use standard neko if you don't need multiple rooms.

Hey, you do you. It just sounds like an expensive way to avoid owning the hardware you want to debug to me.

Also, not to burst your bubble, but there are a few projects out there that do more-or-less what you're describing:

- https://store.steampowered.com/remoteplay/#together

- https://github.com/m1k1o/neko

If you're having fun, then continue by all means. I've just been nerd sniped by your cloud costs and I'm having flashbacks to seeing six-figure monthly AWS bills at startups that refused to buy their own GPU compute.

You could spin up something like Kasm Workspaces, Neko or Docker Webtop.

I ran into neko https://github.com/m1k1o/neko recently which has similar. It's more application centric than desktop centric, but both offer multi-player experiences & I just think that is the absolute coolest.
