Priorities
OBS Studio is the platform Facebook Live and video hosting
Platform - Windows Laptop
Cameras / Video sources GoPro streaming https://gopro.com/help/articles/block/getting-started-with-live-streaming Live streaming currently supports RTMP and RTMPS URLs only. RTSP, HLS and other URLs are not supported.
Drone streaming - should be RMTP
HDMI output cameras - old gopro, pro cams - need HDMI video capture
web cams - USB - "Garbage" - Larry
Priorities
-
Stream Video with Graphics layers
Can place images and web page elements in each scene
Lowerthirds plugins seem to be the way to go - still investigating which ones are any good
-
Have multiple video sources and switch between them while keeping graphic layers
Having an RTMP server is a huge win for multiple RTMP streaming cameras - using NGINX for windows
http://nginx-win.ecsds.eu/download/nginx%201.7.12.1%20Lizard.zip
Sample nginx.conf on this site setup for 4 cameras on 4 seperate ports (same port had some issues, but should work)
-
Utilize dedicated buttons to allow easy switching
Keyboard mapped
USB keypad mapped
External dock - andriod app
-
Scoring - ability to update scores or leaderboard - part of the lower thirds from 1
something like soorecounter.com
Ideas being tested
RTMP - server local or remote, maybe run RTMP server on laptop or PI, remote run it on Amazon instance or private youtube/facebook local eliminates lots of up and down bandwidth, but may require local wifi gear that can use a seperate wifi connection to cell service. Cell service may solve the wifi issue, but range may be limited.

Scoreboards - web page, executable or python window capture, some text based solution
Web pages do not auto refresh in OBS - you have to do some fancy web page refresh on the web site side
Window sources need chroma/green screen work
Video feed switching - need a press 1 for cam 1, 2 for cam 2, etc
Manual way - Each scene has all the video feeds - cons is not flexible and whole deck needs to be prebuilt
Some lower third plugin - need to find one you like - 90% are garbage or cost money
