I've been using OBS to stream a bit in discord among friends.
I wanted to add the desktop of the lab PC as a video source, while using my laptop to actually stream to discord.


For that you need nginx as well as the rtmp plugin on the receiving machine:

apt install nginx libnginx-mod-rtmp

Edit /etc/nginx/nginx.conf and add the following section:

rtmp {
        server {
                listen 1935;
                chunk_size 4096;
                allow publish all;               

                application live {
                        live on;
                        record off;
                }
        }
}

Restart nginx and check if it's running and listening to the assigned port:

systemctl restart nginx
ss -antpl | grep 1935

You can then stream your desktop with just ffmpeg

ffmpeg -f x11grab -s 1920x1080 -i :0.0 \
       -f flv rtmp://<Receiving_IP>/live/desktop

For OBS set up the stream as follows:

Settings -> Stream -> Custom
Server:       rtmp://<Receiving_IP>/live
Stream Key:   lab

Then set up your scene with XSHM or pipewire screenrecording and start the stream.

On the receiving end use VLC video source -> add -> path/url -> rtmp://localhost/live/lab

Does anyone know of a camera streaming solution for Android that is not DroidCam?

Been using my phone as web cam through USB. But bumping the cable ever so slightly causes a disconnect and the stack to hang until I either reboot the phone or plug it into a charger and out again. That only works half the time though.

On the Autobahn. See you in Hamburg

I'm in a group of 7 transfems and we're arguing about C. I'm with my people 😂

Edit: now we're 9 transfems

Shitty robot battle

Time to say goodbye

See you at GPN

Happy new year everyone!

The bf and I caught the con crud. Had to cancel our NYE plans, which I was really looking forward to. We spent the night in bed, didn't even leave the house to watch the local fireworks.

When the hyper focus kicks the days before you gotta leave for a couple days
