A better streaming solution!
The code here is split into three different sections: forwarder, recorder and server. These are named for the different aspects of this program and how it can be distributed between multiple servers
At least one server that can store video files and one server that can accept RTMP streams, i.e. nginx rtmp module (theoretically one server could do all of this although for performance, it is recommended that you have different servers for everything).
A user that can ssh to the forwarder and the recorder and execute the start and stop for each, and the user needs to be able to save files in the recording directory. The forwarder and recorder will need a home directory that the files will be stored in.
Coming soon - wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ystv/streamer/master/build/build.sh
You need to build a total of 5 files in the correct locations, these include the main.go file in the server folder, the forwarder start and stop in the forwarder folder and the recorder start and stop in the recorder folder.
go build -o forwarder_start forwarder_start.go && go build -o forwarder_stop forwarder_stop.go
This must be done in the directory of the forwarder_start.go and forwarder_stop.go files.
go build -o recorder_start recorder_start.go && go build -o recorder_stop recorder_stop.go
This must be done in the directory of the recorder_start.go and recorder_stop.go files.
go build -o streamer main.go
This must be done in the directory of the main.go file.
In addition, a streams.db file will need to be created or use the given file. It's a SQLite schema and can be created with this statement:
create table stored
(
stream TEXT not null
unique,
input TEXT not null,
recording TEXT,
website TEXT,
streams TEXT not null
);
create table streams
(
stream TEXT not null
unique,
recording integer default true not null,
website integer default false not null,
streams integer default 1 not null
);
