fauxstream VS ffmpeg-streamcast

There is also the very useful project fauxstream which encapsulates this knowledge.

I was testing a stream over ipfs proof of concept. and the trickiest thing for me was figuring out what ffmpeg arcana was needed to grab the desktop and audio. And fauxstream proved very valuable in providing a known working config.

I was able to use fauxstream as a starting point for part of my streaming project.

My experiment was streaming via a ipfs transport layer.

fauxstream is a very thin wrapper around ffmpeg, it proved invaluable in providing a reference command I could iterate off of to get my stream working.

I had been doing Twitch streaming seven years ago (so, RTSP, if I recall correctly) with an ffmpeg script I wrote.

Also, seven years, and I eventually ended up moving to OBS instead of diving even further, but that was working at the time.

However, it won't give you any pointers for using AV1, and this is just the streaming source, you'll still need an RTSP server and clients to access them.
