Streaming live video

architecture option 1 prototype overview:

this method was alluring because it seemed simple. but the mpeg1 audio was a bit choppy. could possibly be improved by de/muxing the audio from video stream.

• stream originates from ffmpeg (on OSX)
• ffmpeg publishes (over http) to goreplay (http multiplexer - https://github.com/buger/goreplay)
• goreplay sends to multiple ssh port forwards
• each site is running a jsmpeg websocket relay viewer thing (https://github.com/phoboslab/jsmpeg)

architecture option 2 prototype overview:

this method lets us use x264 encoder which means higher quality...

• use ffmpeg hls options to encode m3u8 playlist
• rsync every second or so to all sites
• use https://github.com/video-dev/hls.js to playback

architecture option 3:

• use nginx rtmp module
• OBS streams to nginx rtmp
• nginx serves HLS (sites setup ssh port forward)
