Project-Lightspeed VS neko

Depending on how you want to achieve this, you could use a combination of OBS + Restreamer or OBS + Project-Lightspeed. Another solution would be to use more specific solutions like neko

I also used to use Project-Lightspeed, which worked great. I abandoned it because I wanted to get off of FTL based on the OBS thread above. It otherwise worked for me.

https://github.com/GRVYDEV/Project-Lightspeed is a 'Twitch like' server that does FTL input from OBS. You can run OBS on the Ubuntu desktop and do a desktop capture. Viewers can then watch on the 'Project Lightspeed' host.

I recommend Project-Lightspeed for this. It uses the FTL protocol (similar to the now defunct Mixer) with WebRTC for great latency. I've used it many times for streaming games, etc. and it works well.

Special thanks to the Ryujinx Discord for helping me test and to the Lightspeed Project (https://github.com/GRVYDEV/Project-Lightspeed)!

jellyfin can certainly do what you are looking for, but it seems like you probably don't have enough bandwidth to reliably host the service at home, and may be overkill for your usage... you could set up project lightspeed (https://github.com/GRVYDEV/Project-Lightspeed) on a $5/month VPS and use OBS to stream video with sub 1 second latency, you can install teamspeak or mumble or something on the same VPS for voice chat.

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.
