Subnostr

Cloudflare is a walled garden in network form. They have built their own Internet behind their reverse proxies. I use a VPS running nginx with rtmp. Posted a how-to yesterday in my note feed.

How are you doing HLS at various bitrates from a VPS?

HLS is adaptive bitrate. Performs very well on a test VPS on nostr:npub1rhaxmxxgs5jkw4zesrptnwd5nrknh5lkaxnlzzegz9vphlgfdlqsjmej47 2cpu 4GB ram unmetered.

Dope! But I hate that voice.

It's a very high quality public domain movie, lots of other content in feed. Wanted to test loads with quality.

I’m on super high bandwidth, but it looks amazing full screen on my phone.

Amazing.

HVEC wizardry?

I’m so behind on codecs these days. Currently troubleshooting minDV 🙃

That’s very interesting. I’ve streamed quite a lot, but on older stacks. Encoding was a nightmare. Providing different resolutions and different bitrates for viewers with vastly different downstream bandwidth meant using NVENC or something to accelerate. I’ll have to dig deeper into this. Thanks for sharing your experience with it.

I have been down that road too. Built many an infrastructure for large streaming apps/services. 👍

I’m running a PeerTube instance right now for video hosting. I wonder if there are good solutions for hosting recorded video correctly for HLS. Would reduce transcoding burden there too, which is the primary burden for running PeerTube.

I hit pleb.cloud up too. Looking forward to seeing if it’s an option for me.
