Support for streaming to Twitch or Youtube

[hholst80]

Would it be possible to stream directly to a streaming service like Twitch or Youtube?

Would it be possible with just wl-screenrec or are there any additional tooling required on the client side?

It may already work with something like

wl-screenrec --ffmpeg-muxer flv rtmp://iad05.contribute.live-video.net/app/{stream_key}

Also be careful about bitrate settings

I could not get it to work. However, I still have my daytime job ;-) so I have not invested the right amount of time into this to say for sure if it works or not.

That won't work on my low-end computers. I cannot afford a live transcode. :-)

This works fine for me on YouTube with the following command:

wl-screenrec --ffmpeg-muxer flv -f rtmp://a.rtmp.youtube.com/live2/<stream key>

However it seems that flv encoding is not supported by my GPU and so wl-screenrec takes more CPU usage than I'd like. The following warning is shown:

So flv is a container not a codec. I let ffmpeg choose a default codec for a given container. All you should have to do to make this work with hw Accel is pass --codec avc

during my last live stream with wl-screenrec, I noticed that about 10 minutes in, the audio began to get ahead of the video. Maybe it's due to my bad internet because my ping was going haywire.
