This looks really nice with all the bundled plugins. I'm about to rebuild my streaming setup and move away from streamlabs. Some questions...

Can I dual stream to YouTube and twitch?

Could this work from a kvm setup, allowing me to capture windows from both nested, or windows from Linux?

Might also see what's possible via termina/chromeos

There's a great write up on how to proxy/multiplex rtmp streams with nginx on the OBS forums.

Edit: That one is newer and maybe more useful. Here's the one I had used before. https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/how-to-set-up-your-ow...

Is there a build of something like this for Windows? Would be nice to just get a plugin pre-configured build of OBS. Esp. if you are confident they are all compatible and on latest versions.

Wow! This is great! It was always such a struggle to get stuff like CEF (necessary to show rendered HTML/web pages and chat in a livestream) on Linux. I never even tried to tackle other plugins.

I might start up my livecoding again based on this -- thank you

Glad you like it :-)

I have an interest in Linux, so making a Windows build is not something I'm interested in but I see no reason why it couldn't be done.

But you raise a good point about compatibility, everything in this container is built from source so everything is API/ABI compatible since the same toolchain is used throughout.

Technically yes, but it's against Twitch's ToS as of June:

I've been streaming this way for a while now.

Yes, you can dual stream.

- I do this using livepush.io. So one stream out to livepush and they push to multiple services. - However you could run multiple instances of this container and have each stream to a different service. For example one container being the main streaming setup that streams to Twitch but also has NDI or Teleport output that can then be ingested via a second instance of this container that streams to YouTube.

Using this is KVM is technically possible but you'd lose a load of the benefits of running in a container, such as hardware acceleration and seamless integration with your host.

Can ChromeOS running Podman and Distrobox? If so, it should work fine.

I stream to Twitch and also to an unlisted YouTube stream., using livepush.io. I do this so I have an archive of my live stream on YouTube that I can easily publish after 24 hours :-)
