rtsp-simple-server VS livekit-server

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.

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

Check out livekit, have been working with it for 2 months and you can quite easily set up things. Really promising project: https://docs.livekit.io

Check out our docs on how the platform can support multiple (separate) rooms with 100s of members. We know how important good documentation is, so if there's any gaps you see lemme know and we will add to it asap!!

We are LiveKit (David, David, and Russ). We've been working on an open source project that lets you run your own WebRTC SFU instead of having to rely on hosted providers like Agora or Twilio. I'd love to get feedback from the Go community on Reddit.
