Since we're on this topic, I want to ask a question:

How do I play video files stored in my VPS to Chromecast?

I want my mom to watch a video, from her TV, but I can't upload it to YouTube due to copyrighted content (yes, even if you set unlisted, YouTube will block it).

catt (Cast All The Things!) is your friend.

You might need a VPN as whatever is running catt must be able to connect to your chromecast and chromecast must be able to pull from whatever is running catt.

We watch all the movies this way - just cast an mp4 file. Works great on a local network.

Offtopic, are there any streaming gateway to automatically insert CC subtitles into the video container on the fly?

Plex and jellyfin are options if its a video that they might want to watch repeatedly at later times.

Both let you stream their videos to Chromecast last I checked.

Plex also has support for pictures which might be interesting in some related cases

Great work! This makes WebRTC much more accessible, it not being available in ffmpeg makes people default to worse alternatives.

hi, I dont intend to hijack this thread and I dont know if this is considered [OT].

I came across your post[0] about KVS from a while ago. Thank you for your work on pion and KVS.

A quick question on the KVS, C implementation. Is this in anyway tied to be used with AWS Kinesis? Can it be used with Wowza for instance?

Since there are probably some people experienced with ffmpeg here, is it possible to to image zooms with ffmpg that go deeper then zoom factor 10? I can zoom up to factor 10 like this: ffmpeg -i someimage.jpg -vf "zoompan=z='10-on/100':d=1000:x='iw/2-(iw/zoom/2)':y='ih/2-(ih/zoom/2)':s=1920x1437" zoom.mp4 But everything above a zoom of 10 seems to fail. Is there a hard limit in the code for some reason? Some way to o…

You could just crop then scale which should give you a lot more control.
