I'm very familiar with the stack and the pain of trying to livestream video to a browser. If JPEG screenshots work for your clients, then I would just stick with that.

The problem with wolf, gstreamer, moonlight, $third party, is you need to be familiar with how the underlying stack handles backpressure and error propagation, or else things will just "not work" and you will have no idea why. I've worked on 3 projects in the last 3 years where I started with gstreamer, got up and running - and while things worked in the happy path, the unhappy path was incredibly brittle and painful to debug. All 3 times I opted to just use the lower level libraries myself.

Given all of OPs requirements, I think something like NVIDIA Video Codec SDK to a websocket to MediaSource Extensions.

However, given that even this post seems to be LLM generated, I don't think the author would care to learn about the actual internals. I don't think this is a solution that could be vibe coded.

This is where LLMs shine, where you need to dip your toes into really complex systems but basically just to do one thing with pretty straightforward requirements.

The peak of irony, because you know how these people arrived at their 40 Mbit bitrate H264 and their ineffective tinkering with the same in the first place is guaranteed to be some LLMs expert suggestions. As is often the case, because they had no understanding of the really complex system subject matter whatsoever, they were unable to guide the LLM and ended up with .. slop. Which then turned into a slop blog post.

God knows what process led them to do video streaming for showing their AI agent work in the first place. Some fool must have put "I want to see video of the agent working" in.. and well, the LLM obliged!

...and apparently waste 3 months doing it wrong thanks to it without doing anything as basic as "maybe fix your bitrate, it's far higher than any gameplay streaming site and that's for video game, stuff with more movement"

40Mbit is 1080p bluray bitrate level
