Good morning, streamers!
Question: when you start a stream (say via Twitch), does it give you an m3u8 file URL you can share with other networks?
Trying to imagine how/where to generate the Nostr record for your live stream.
Discussion
Service providers will have to generate this, twitch wont give you m3u8 nor will youtube or any other streaming service.
Maybe the site im building can do this for you, for sats ofc

I don't know of any platform that does. Twitch, Trovo, YT, Kick, Theta...
The more infra style systems, Mux, api.video, daily.co all give you an m3u8 url but the consumer services all want you captured on their platforms.

Building Nostr for the streamers is a hell of a use case and I'm excited to test it out.
Look into integrating with yt-dl as a lib
They do not. That's how they keep you platform locked.
Ive done shows on CyTube instances with m3u8 links it was actually pretty easy to configure in the client side with OBS
We would need some place to host or distribute the stream file to make this easy, but it's still a totally valid approach
Any chance you can build a server to host these streaming for Nostriches? We need help.
I will say you should look into Podping and what stream stuffs is going on in the podcasting 2.0 space first to make sure you're not accidentally reinventing the wheel.
O dont know if it will be valid for your inquiry but...
you might find some inspiration or insights on Thetatoken.org
They are working on decentralised stream & data
