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

  1. 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

  2. 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)

  3. Utilize dedicated buttons to allow easy switching

    Keyboard mapped

    USB keypad mapped

    External dock - andriod app

  4. 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
