srs VS Node-Media-Server

With OBS supporting HEVC/H.265 (and AV1, VP9) as output codec in a recent beta, I've been testing VRChat support. Keeping eye on https://github.com/ossrs/srs/pull/3495 before I try HEVC livestreams into VRChat as I believe I can try RTSP and mpeg-ts.

For in-house hosting, a project like https://github.com/ossrs/srs or https://github.com/illuspas/Node-Media-Server may meet your needs. Ultimately though, you should be able to build whatever you need from scratch using an Nginx server with the RTMP module and an ffmpeg process

I don't know the answer to the WebRTC part, but as long as you have a server with not-outrageously-priced outbound bandwidth, you can install an open source RTMP server like SRS[1], and stream to that RTMP server from OBS. It's really easy, configure the RTMP server & stream key, then "Start Streaming" which is right next to "Start Recording". You can then hand your friends a link, and they can play it in any media player with RTMP/HLS/FLV stream support, or you can add a simple web UI with e.g. hls.js[2] (very easy to write, there might even be prepackaged solutions) so that they truly don't need to download anything.

not flask related but SRS is my go to when i think about media/video streaming

from the configure file, it looks like there should be a make destroy command which basically just removes everything in /objs: https://github.com/ossrs/srs/blob/4.0release/trunk/configure

I am currently building a home server and want to create my own audio book server and mobile application. On the mobile site I will use react native with react-native-track-player. The TrackPlayer supports DASH, HLS or SmoothStreaming. Now I am struggling to build a server and providing one of these formats. When I search for a solution there are many recommendations to create a stream like const stream = fs.createReadStream(filePath); and pipe it like stream.pipe(res);. This is working in the browser but seems not to be compatible with the TrackPlayer. When looking for solutions to create a stream based on DASH, HLS or SmoothStreaming I just find some complex solutions like the Node-Media-Server which seems a bit overkill for what I am trying to do. So my question is, do you know a simpler solution to send an mp3 file through an express endpoint in DASH, HLS or SmoothStreaming format? Or do you have any recommendations where I can have a look?
