My bad, thanks for pointing out! The repo is now made public

#4What kind of video sources provide output via websockets to be proxied to RTMP? OBS and other streaming video tools usually support RTMP themselves and browsers only support WebRTC out of the box as far as I know. I'm curious what kind custom browser video streaming solution you're using on the client side.

I think the inverse of this (RTMP to Websockets) would be more interesting.

#6Can this be used as a web front end for say a raspberry pi camera ?

This appears to use the MediaStream Recording API (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/MediaStream...) to produce a WebM H.264 stream, which can be sent to the WebSocket. The server then transmuxes this to a FLV H.264 stream for RTMP output.

#8Cool project! I've done similar things with Kurento acting as a WebRTC peer to proxy WebRTC --> RTMP before but this is a lot more lightweight.
One thing I'd love to see at some point is a project that compiles FFMpeg's transmuxing code to WASM such that the WebM --> FLV conversion could be done client-side. That way the server-side portion would be as simple as proxying the WebSocket to a TCP socket for the outgoing RTMP traffic.

A...WebM H.264 stream? Again, with feeling. This time, try something that's a thing.

That's what I always assumed you got back when you create a MediaRecorder like so:
new MediaRecorder(stream, { mimeType: 'video/webm;codecs=h264' })
