Ask HN: What's the minimum-friction way to stream audio from a handheld device?
I believe mediamtx can ingest the RTMP and present to a browser, via HLS or WebRTC.

Ask HN: IP cameras that don't require an app or internet
For my apartment, I run rtsp-simple-server[1] on my home server and use Raspberry Pis with generic USB webcams running ffmpeg to stream the audio/video to the RTSP server. Then I run camera.ui[2] separately for a nicer interface on top of all the cameras, HomeKit integration, etc.
The only downside hardware-wise is I don't get any indoor IR night vision with these, which some of the nicer "smart home" account-locked ones do.
It's honestly not too bad to set up if you run [1] and [2] in Docker. I've done disaster recovery scenarios of my home infra where I straight up disconnect the modem's uplink and everything works without any issues.

MediaMTX: Zero-dependency server for live video and audio streams
So you want the server to make an HTTP call to an endpoint to deliver when streams change their status?
https://github.com/bluenviron/mediamtx/issues/1462
Looks like there might be a work around.

Need a robust RTSP viewer for multi-user office
How low delay do you need? I'd recommend MediaMTX + VLC if you just want a live feed. motionEye could work too but it's very demanding on both the server and clients.

Youtube livestream to Frigate/RTSP stream?
Have MediaMTX configured with a path for publishing:
- 7 eufy indoor cam 2k, continuous recording and RTPS
-
Trying to use Frigate with eufy battery cameras (RTSP stream not always available)
so here's my next problem, to run ffmpeg from inline in mediamtx you have to build a new docker image that combines them. Aler9 gave instructions for the Dockerfile here: https://github.com/aler9/mediamtx/discussions/278

How to stream other games to friends while in VR chat?
The one Docteh brought up is a good one https://github.com/aler9/mediamtx, I just set it up and all I had to do was change one line in the yml config file in the rtsp section to get that to work.
