Project-Lightspeed VS rtsp-simple-server

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.

If you want to stream your webcam as an H264 encoded rtsp stream, it can be done with either rtsp-simple-server or V4l2rtspserver And it is possible to stream a linux desktop (and any program that might be open, like your web browser with the gcode viewer running on it) with the V4l2Loopback device and either of the two prgrams above. It is quite an involved process, but it is do-able.

rtsp-simple-server

I've tried using ffmpeg and rtsp simple server:

Ok, you need a NAS or their Cloud, a simple USB drive won't do it. The important thing is you need the receiving device to offer a transfer protocol named 'RTSP'. Modern Synology, QNAP, and MyCloud (by WD) devices support RTSP, although different methods to connect. Eufy Cloud would be the easiest method, next is Synology NAS is simple to setup with Eufy instruction, but since you have some hardware you can run things like this: https://github.com/aler9/rtsp-simple-server but obviously that will take more time and effort.

Very cool - going to try this out later. I had something similar on my todo list, but figured I would use: https://github.com/aler9/rtsp-simple-server

I had a nightmare setting this up for my streams. I ended up going with rtsp-simple-server as it seems to work a little quicker and is much better documented. There is an option to toggle between always having a stream "live" or stop when there are no viewers

Here is one example that I found (there are more). https://github.com/aler9/rtsp-simple-server
