broadcast-box

I work on WHIP support in https://obsproject.com I find it disappointing to see people still struggling with the things that I hoped it would solve. I also maintain a https://github.com/glimesh/broadcast-box as a demo server to run it against. Increasing user control/interoperability is best for users. I tried to show off even more use cases in https://webrtcforthestreamer.com/

I work on WHIP in OBS and an open source project Broadcast Box[0]. I made this site/video to talk about the reasons why https://webrtcforthestreamer.com I hope this site can convince more people to check this stuff out. If you are curious or have feedback I would love to hear. [0] https://github.com/glimesh/broadcast-box

Yes! I maintain https://github.com/glimesh/broadcast-box for this. You can try it out at https://b.siobud.com to see if you like it first. It if fits your needs then go for the self host :) I run my instance on Hetzner I want to add more features to it, but I have been focused on OBS mostly lately. If you have any ideas/needs that would make it work for you and your friends I would love to hear! Join the discord and would love to chat. What I want to do next is make a 're-broadcast feature'. So friends can stream to it + hang out. When they are ready they hit a button and then goes to Twitch/YouTube etc...

I have this[0] project. It allows people to have their own live streaming/broadcast servers. I provide docker images and some basic instructions. However it is still too hard for people to run. I get lots of questions on discord about how to run it. Do any services exist that would allow a user to run something/handle DNS/LetsEncrypts easily? [0] https://github.com/glimesh/broadcast-box

Thank you so much for the kind words and encouragement! > Would you be up for sending a PR to [0] to deprecate it and point to your repo? Absolutely, I’d be glad to submit a PR! I'll carve out some time soon to get that done. > If you are up for it you should join the Discord in https://github.com/glimesh/broadcast-box and maybe https://pion.ly/discord I would feel honored to have you in these communities. I’m already in the Discord server listed at the broadcast-box repo, and I’d be glad to join Pion's Discord as well! It would also be an honor for me to be part of both communities and contribute however I can. > Lastly have you posted this on X or LinkedIn? Could I share with others. So far, I’ve only shared the project on HN and r/rust subreddit, so I’d certainly appreciate you helping spread the word. Thanks again for your support!

I really love what you have built here. The future of video streaming I want to see is sending video to a small group of friends. It is a more connected/social future. I love what you have done with utsuru. Would you be up for sending a PR to [0] to deprecate it and point to your repo? If you are up for it you should join the Discord in https://github.com/glimesh/broadcast-box and maybe https://pion.ly/discord I would feel honored to have you in these communities. I think what you are doing is super innovative, and I would love for other people to see it :) Lastly have you posted this on X or LinkedIn? Could I share with others. I am constantly trying to show people 'this is the future of video' and you are making it happen. [0] https://github.com/Sean-Der/obs-into-discord

It's so exciting. Especially with Simulcast it will make it SO cheap/easy for people. I made https://github.com/Glimesh/broadcast-box in a hope to make self-hosting + WebRTC a lot easier :)

I am so incredibly excited for WebRTC broadcasting. I wrote up some reasons in the Broadcast Box[0] README and the OBS PR [1] Now that GStreamer, OBS and FFmpeg all have WHIP support we finally have a ubiquitous protocol for video broadcasting for all platforms (Mobile, Web, Embedded, Broadcasting Software etc...) I have been working on Open Source + WebRTC Broadcasting for years now. This is a huge milestone :) [0] https://github.com/Glimesh/broadcast-box?tab=readme-ov-file#...

I’m so excited for this. If we get better protocols I anticipate so many more projects will get built. Check out this [0] article to get more on what WHIP solves. https://github.com/Glimesh/broadcast-box is also a decent jumping off point [0] https://webrtchacks.com/webrtc-cracks-the-whip-on-obs/
