Lots of people in here commenting about nginx plus, but can anyone recommend a free alternative to BITMOVIN?

ffmpeg can do that fairly easily. To adjust the command in the example, you need to to take the srt file and pass it as a second -i input file. There's some helpful guides on how to do that if you search around. e.g. https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/FFMPEG_An_Intermediate_Guide/s...
But I don't have a subtitles file. I would need it to read from a stream, not a static file.
I wish there was a decent HTML5 low latency (< 2s) solution. Nothing comes close to RTMP + Flash still.
The one thing I've always wanted from nginx-rtmp was the ability to pull from a source input instead of running a separate process with ffmpeg to push the stream over. If they could get that working my life would become less complicated quickly.

It would be nice to have the ability to set up an app block that looked kind of like this
application source1 { exec fffmpeg -f decklink -i 'DeckLink Quad (1)@8' -f flv rtmp://localhost/app/$name }
ffmpeg is still pushing the stream to nginx, but nginx is in charge of starting that process.

"but for ease of reading we refer to NGINX Plus throughout" Uhuh. Suuuure. :p

Currently to get the stream from ffmpeg into nginx you have to do the following: ffmpeg -re -i input_file -c copy -f flv rtmp://nginx_server_url:1935/app It would be nice to have the ability to set up an app block that looked kind of like this application source1 { exec fffmpeg -f decklink -i 'DeckLink Quad (1)@8' -f flv rtmp://localhost/app/$name } ffmpeg is still pushing the stream to nginx, but nginx is in charge…

I think you might be looking for the exec_pull (or exex_static) directive https://github.com/arut/nginx-rtmp-module/wiki/Directives#ex...
