Devlog: Hacktoberfest 2024 (2/4)
I made sure to document every step of the way via screenshots to ensure I could test enabling and disabling certain features. The screenshot tool I use on Windows is called, ShareX, and I find it extremely useful with regards to pointing out certain elements in an image.

Flameshot – Powerful, yet simple to use open-source screenshot software
I've been using ShareX (https://getsharex.com/) for some years, which is also open-source, and very featureful while not feeling too bloated, though Windows only.
I'll have to have a look at this next time I'm on a Linux desktop, as I found the options lacking compared to ShareX last time I looked.

'Screen Apnea'
ShareX [1] is my other "must install" app. I never would have guessed how much my branch of engineering consists of "take a screenshot and draw lines, arrows and circles on it." Being able to customize my workflow to do all of that is really great.

How to Set Up a Free RTMP Server with Open Source Red5
./red5.sh # for Linux or Mac red5.bat # for Windows You should see console output indicating the server has started successfully, typically on `localhost:5080`. 2. To test if your RTMP server is live, open your web browser and go to `http://localhost:5080/`. You should see the Red5 landing page. ### Step 4: Configure RTMP Applications Red5 supports RTMP out of the box. You can now create and configure RTMP applications. In the `webapps` directory, add a new directory for your application (e.g., `live`), and use the default settings for simple RTMP streaming. ### Step 5: Test Your Stream As an easy way to test, you will want to create an RTMP stream. We recommend using OBS to publish a stream, and then use VLC to watch it. ## How to Generate an RTMP Stream in OBS and Watch It in VLC Once your Red5 RTMP server is up and running, you can create a live stream in OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) and view it using VLC Media Player. OBS is a free, open-source tool for streaming and recording, making it ideal for this purpose. Here’s how to set it up: ### Step 1: Configure the OBS Stream Settings 1. Download and Install OBS: If you haven’t already, download and install OBS from [obsproject.com](https://obsproject.com/). 2. Set Up the Stream: – Open OBS and go to Settings > Stream. – Set Service to “Custom…” – In the Server field, enter your Red5 server’s RTMP URL. By default, it’s usually `rtmp://localhost/live`. – In the Stream Key field, enter a stream key of your choice, such as `testStream`. This key will be used to identify the stream URL later in VLC. Your final RTMP URL will look something like this:
