webrtc-nuts-and-bolts VS ffplayout

I recommend WebRTC For The Curious too, as another comment. Personally, I didn't use WebRTC in C#, but the WebRTC concepts are nearly the same in every different language/platform. Also, you can check out my project and documentation on internals of WebRTC, written in Go and JavaScript: https://github.com/adalkiran/webrtc-nuts-and-bolts . It's not related directly, but another example of usage at my other project, written in Go, Python, and JavaScript: https://github.com/adalkiran/distributed-inference .

I am heavily biased toward WebRTC. Here is my take on it though!

> It's incredibly complex as a specification

What is complex about it? I can go and read the IETF drafts, webrtcforthecurious.com, https://github.com/adalkiran/webrtc-nuts-and-bolts and multiple implementations.

QUIC/WebTransport seems simple because it doesn't address all the things WebRTC does.

> has limitations and numerous issues that set limits in how scalable it can be

https://phenixrts.com/en-us/ does 500k viewers. I don't think anything about WebRTC makes it unscalable.

IMO the future is WebRTC.

* Diverse users makes the ecosystem rich. WebRTC supports Conferencing, embedded, P2P/NAT Traversal, remote control... Every group of users has the made the ecosystem a little better.

* Client code is minimal. For most users they just need to exchange Session Descriptions and they are done. You then additional APIs if you need to change behaviors.

* Lots of implementations. C, C++, Python, Go, Typescript

What a cool project idea! Owncast would be a great solution for you from the broadcasting end, and I'd be happy to answer any questions you have about it. From the programming/scheduling side you could do something super simple like this project https://github.com/owncast/playout-example that plays from a directory, or build something more custom with ffplayout https://github.com/ffplayout/ffplayout

I have a VPS running Ubuntu. Things generally run fine with it—I connect to it through Terminal on my Mac to run the Python script it's set up for, and I use Filezilla to manage its files. I am running the Python version of ffplayout on it, and it works as intended until a certain point, typically somewhere between 6-12 hours, at which point I get the "client_loop: send disconnect: Broken pipe" message in Terminal, and ffplayout stops running and Terminal's connection to the server is broken.

Hi, you wan try ffplayout. Work well with owncast for exemple.

Try https://github.com/ffplayout/ffplayout

I do something like this by using https://github.com/ffplayout/ffplayout-engine

ffplayout maybe?
