Why VLC rather than youtube-dl or some other libre livestream program and then pipe it to MPV
Are there any ethical live streaming services that respect your freedom?

No. There's a digest server hosted by the live streaming service to handle that for you. You just stream to that one box and they stream it to everyone else.
Why don't you care about latency. Having a low latency I believe is more enjoyable since you can interact with your viewers in realtime.
Christopher James
Yeah but most people are OK with Twitch's 20-30 second delay, so it's not really that important.
Julian Wright
That's just OBS. I'm talking about the server infrastructure.
...and most people are OK with Windows.
That doesn't mean Windows is good.
Grayson Foster
Shouldn't it be possible to eliminate the need for this, using P2P? I remember tinkering with BitTorrent Live years ago, and it worked amazingly well.
Only downside I can think of is like says if you want ultra-low latency.
Brody Nelson
Most normalfags want to do everything in their browser, and I don't know if Javascript supports networking, which would be necessary for this.
Samuel Roberts
Faggot, I told you to check out GNU MediaGoblin.
I only used it to watch content, not publish it, so I'm not 100% sure about how it would work if someone wanted to livestream.
You should check GNU ABYSS too.
Nicholas Gray
You can with WebRTC. As an example, that's how webtorrent works.
You can not use mediagoblin for livestreaming purposes.
Camden Sullivan
I honestly could not check out mediagoblin, the site 500'd me. From what I remember though it was mostly just a webserver not a streaming server. FFserver was the only thing of that type I ever saw though the deprecation notes said something about mkv-something.
