I'm pretty excited for the upcoming release of Owncast, an open-source video streaming solution (think self-hosted Twitch)!
@gabek is testing the latest version in preparation for the next release, streaming some tunes on his Owncast instance at https://goth.land/ right now!
Drop by and say hello in the chat, if you want to see Owncast in action!
Just watched a pretty impressive demo of a #FOSS #livestream platform #OwnStream (nothing to do with ownCloud), already shipping with working chat.
It isn't #P2P, but takes an #RTMP stream (hello, #OBS) and shares it on a rather nice looking webpage, from what I can tell. Early days yet, but already working surprisingly well!
If #PeerTube is more #YouTube like, then this is more like #Twitch.
Seems to be developed by @fribbledom among others.
@Blort @fribbledom makes sense to not be P2P, any P2P implementation necessitates a delay to be able to spread data across peers, which is often an issue for chat interaction
For reference, the solution my employer uses for the large internal webcasts has a delay of 20 seconds after the live feed, so peers can download random chunks instead of sequential ones, as downloading sequentially would significantly limit the benefits of P2P
