I might start up my livecoding again based on this -- thank you
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.
I am a NixOS user and nixpkgs maintainer. I've been working on adding more OBS plugins to nixpkgs and fixing OBS Studio in nixpkgs, but it needs more work:
- For me, it is missing some plugins I rely on and some of the OBS plugins in nixpkgs do not work. I am actively working on this.
- FDK ACC doesn't work in OBS in nixpkgs and the ffmpeg version is not fully API compatible with OBS, meaning some presets do not work. On my list to fix.
- CEF in nixpkgs is not ABI compatible with OBS and cause OBS to segfault when authenticating Twitch. Again, on my list of things to fix.
I have a long history of building a custom OBS Studio on Ubuntu, so decided to make this OBS Studio container with my friends in the Universal Blue project, to get myself a complete OBS setup I can use on NixOS while I continue to work on OBS related fixes in nixpkgs :-)
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

Edit: That one is newer and maybe more useful. Here's the one I had used before. https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/how-to-set-up-your-ow...
Technically yes, but it's against Twitch's ToS as of June:

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.
Not understanding why this would hold true, kvm and containers are both virtualization like tools, just at different levels. I think the main hold up would be the lack of many typical OS features. Like not sure how you'd go about setting up GStreamer for this OBS setup

Pretty much any container, and more than one at a time. Better than WSL imho

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.
