owncast VS mediacms

The Owncast project is planning the early stages of some re-architecting in our Go codebase to prepare for future features. I’d love to chat with you about the project! https://github.com/owncast/owncast

Owncast is what you want.

You can use OwnCast https://owncast.online/ if you host it on your own domain.

The main stage of talks are planned to be live streamed on the Monero Community Workgroup YouTube channel and to an Owncast self-hosted server (URL TBA).

it is, but OwnCast and OpenStreamingPlatform are probably closer to what Twitch does.

I always recommend people to contribute to software they use themselves. For me that is self-hosted servers like Mealie (Python+Vue) and Owncast (Go+React). Especially Owncast is a project that imo is comparatively easy to get into because the setup is kept really simple, documentation is good and the maintainers are super nice :) There are some good first issues, but in addition to that there are also often "debug problem X" issues that imo help one get into a project quick because you'll read a lot of code for them.

I've heard of owncast have not used it myself but might be worth a try

Last, host something like https://github.com/mediacms-io/mediacms to serve the optimized files. As long as your clients are not halfway across the world, they should be able to watch the videos with relative ease.

MediaCMS might just be what you are looking for

https://mediacms.io/ is the link.

Sounds like a self hosted youtube could do that. Haven’t tried this yet but someone mentioned it a couple days ago here. https://github.com/mediacms-io/mediacms

Hey, Paul, the only thing I've seen for this on this subreddit or similar places is Media CMS. I don't believe that there is a way to add an ad banner, but I don't know how that works at all, so perhaps there is. Otherwise, videos are rendered in different resolutions to save bandwidth (pre-transcoded when you upload); users indeed are able to upload photos, videos, documents even; download is possible of the content in original, is a Docker compose stack; rendering via GPU can indeed be done via Docker.

I am looking for an app for a similar problem and the best solution I found was mediacms. Unfortunately the setup is not really easy and I couldn't get it to work.
