Reminder FFMPEG can execute simple edits all on it's own & has built-in automation

Does anyone stream directly from ffmpeg? I have a 24/7 music stream with a static background image and playlist, running headless off a raspberry pi, and I'd love to see what other people have come up with to expand the idea

I did a few times just to test it out on peertube, i wrote a script to broadcast all videos in a given folder in random order. I would like to eventually have something going 24/7 but i havent gotten to setting that up yet

Why don't they change the licence of FFMpeg to GPL so that everything uses it is open source? It'd be a win-win.

Then all these companies just wouldn't use it and would use something worse instead. Everything will be inferior and ffmpeg becomes less prominent and loses out on contributors and donations. It's a lose-lose.

Reality is complicated, GPL is awesome for a lot of things but in some cases it can hinder adoption.

Changing licence is harder then you would think.

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Yup. Just imagine them changing it the other way on a whim.

Funny story. You can stream to all platforms with RTMP but only piece of software that was able to play rtmp in browser (flashplayer) is dead.
