srs VS ffmpeg-streamcast

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 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.
