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.

Probably big tech companies would fork it from an older version.

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.
