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

Danny! God, I remember your TV show, 404 Not Found. You should restart that. Did you film it at Capital? I was doing Chips with Everything for .tv at the same time in that tiny, tiny studio.

I was in court testifying about something technical recently and the prosecutor said "And where did you get that?" and I said "404 Not Found" and it was very confusing for them.

Is OBS packaged by your distro? On NixOS I just started up OBS and I could add the "Browser" input with no issues.

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

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.

> The Open Container Initiative (OCI) is a Linux Foundation project, started in June 2015 by Docker, CoreOS, and the maintainers of appc to design open standards for operating-system-level virtualization (software containers). At launch, OCI was focused on Linux containers and subsequent work has extended it to other operating systems.[1]

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.

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.
