You are able to stream from various inputs. This package supports files, URL's or existing RTMP streams.
For more info you can view the latest recorded presentation below, check the demo project at https://github.com/Martin1982/live-broadcast-demo or read on;
To test these prerequisites the Symfony command livebroadcaster:test:shell
can be used after the installation described below.

This bundle is available on Packagist. You can then install it using Composer:

Use Doctrine to update your database schema with the broadcasting entities, when upgrading it is recommended to use migrations.
To start the broadcast scheduler you can run the following command:
$ php bin/console livebroadcaster:broadcast
To run the scheduler as a long-running process it's recommended to use the messenger middleware to keep the database connection alive as described at https://symfony.com/doc/current/messenger.html
