Nostr Web Client

I have tired it a few times over the days, and it's stable now, I made a simple webpage and it worked for a long time. I'm going to see if i can get it working with my streaming site. I'll let you know eventually how it went.

That's really great news! Thank you for doing doing all this testing.

That's great news. Thanks for the thorough update. I'll work on this soon.

I tried again and same issues. I didn't see any new network errors. This time tho, I did time it, I started my OBS, using my rtmp and key, and after 5 minutes it disconnects by itself. I'm not sure if that's normal since it didn't play on my player and I tired that website but just a black screen.

if I disable the API and stream forward to twitch it works right away. I wanted to try API & twitch but I don't have a NWC wallet to try both at the moment

Okay I hope this is the update that does it. If you want to make a coinos.io account for a nwc I'll happily fill it with some sats.

I'll check it again later. If you don't want to get a nwc it will probably connect for 59 seconds then disconnect when payment fails.

"hlsUrl": "https://simulcast.me/hls/8e4551823a23f584/index.m3u8?apiKey=-zlqHdG0KoqskMKLfnCfsH9zfKZ8oOe-",

I’m trying to play my stream from my domain using hls .js.

Your status endpoint returns:

{

"isLive": true,

"streamKeyLabel": "test",

"playbackToken": "8e4551823a23f584",

...

}

But when my browser (or hls.js) requests that URL, I get:

Status: 404 Not Found

Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8

Body: JSON error (not an .m3u8 playlist)

Hls . js reports:

type: "networkError"

details: "manifestLoadError"

fatal: true

url: "https://simulcast.me/hls/8e4551823a23f584/index.m3u8?apiKey=..."

So your API says isLive: true with that hlsUrl, but the manifest URL returns 404.

Can you check why that HLS path doesn’t exist or why it’s returning JSON instead of the .m3u8 file

mnpezz 3w ago 💬 1

just a note of how its expected to work

There's a 3–5 second delay after a stream starts before the HLS URL is available. hls.js should automatically retry and connect once the files are ready.

I made a little update. hopefully it fixed the issue. I have been using https://players.akamai.com/players/hlsjs to test the hls and it seems to work fine. let me know if you still have an error.

Replying to

"hlsUrl": "https://simulcast.me/hls/.../index.m3u8?apiKey=..."

yaa, that's good news. I've been working to get it going already, I’m integrating simulcast into a self-hosted web player using hls . js

The status API works correctly through my server proxy. When a stream is live, the API returns something like:

{

"isLive": true,

}

If I open the hlsUrl directly in a browser, I see a valid HLS manifest (#EXTM3U, segment_XXX.ts, etc.), so the HLS pipeline itself is working.

However, when hls . js inside my web player tries to load that same URL, I get:

HLS error: manifestLoadError

This usually happens when the HLS endpoint does not send CORS headers, preventing browsers from fetching the manifest via XHR/fetch.

Would it be possible to enable CORS on the HLS endpoints (for example, Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *)?

This would allow web players using hls . js to load the manifest and segments correctly.

Give it another try. Thanks for testing it and finding the errors I missed.

https://simulcast.me/api-docs

Do you have API docs? I am running my own self hosted front end stream software, my software connects to zap stream backends. I want to see if I can add your backend to it.

Looks like an interesting project, I like streaming to nostr and twitch sometimes

I think it's ready.

Replying to

that looks great. isLive + hlsUrl are exactly what external tools need to automatically embed streams. When isLive is true and hlsUrl is filled in, they can display the stream without any manual steps. Thanks for adding this, super useful.

Great thanks. I'll work on it a bit and have it available soonish.

Replying to

Yeah, one thing that would be cool in the future is some kind of public playback URL or HLS endpoint for each live stream.

Something simple like /stream/{id}.m3u8 that apps or websites could embed.

Not urgent, but it would open up a lot of integrations because Im also building a small streaming project for my own site, and having a simple public playback URL would make it easier to integrate external sources like yours. Nothing complex, just something that tools can read when a stream is live.

mnpezz 3w ago 💬 1

You should be able to embed the HLS Playback url that is available on the dashboard. Maybe I'm misunderstanding the request.

I tried Simulcast and it works great, I only tired one single stream because I don't have NWC, but my stream went well.

Super smooth sign up and setup. I understand now, it’s not a backend like Zap Stream but more like a bitcoin-friendly Restream. Really cool. Nice work

I'm glad you had such a good first experience. Thank you trying it out. Are there any features you would like to see added?

i am having a strange issue where i cant open Shosho app more than once without clearing storage, which resets everything. this is on a pixel 8a. My phone has a few quirks though so maybe its just this phone.

Hi! Users could create their own stream key in simulcast and then input that as a generic RTMP server in Shosho? And then anything they stream to that endpoint gets restreamed out to all the platforms that they set?

It's Restream(.)io but pay-as-you-go with sats?

Fun.

How do I help?

hey i noticed an issue with Shosho today but I'm not able to pinpoint the cause. Any suggestions? thanks for the help.

The global map view was a pretty damn nifty tool to use and see the Bitcoin/nostr events nearby 👀

I thought so too. Something i havent seen any nostr event client have for some reason.

Good luck. Let me know how it goes.

this looks cool, I want to try this, so it's basically a zap stream competitor? Are they on nostr? I can't find them and I wanna ask them questions

It's free for 1 hour, I'm gonna test it,

Btw it's free for 1 platform not just 1 hour. So if you wanted to use Shosho to stream to Rumble, for example, instead of nostr you could do that with simulcast.me for free. You get charged for any additional platforms but the first platform is free indefinitely.

ZAP.STREAM DIED FOR SOME REASON SO HERE IS THE SLOPTUBE LINK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkFSLucP40s

Hey thanks for your interest. This is not a zap stream competitor but a way to stream to multiple platforms, including nostr:nprofile1qqsv73dxhgfk8tt76gf6q788zrfyz9dwwgwfk3aar6l5gk82a76v9fgpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhszxthwden5te0wfjkccte9eekummjwsh8xmmrd9skctcppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0dutak6 , at the same time using OBS or nostr:nprofile1qqsgthcq5tm2jxz9x4xg6tvlh26qq2actdpztwh2kc86lvjc03gr36spzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgtcpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgtcpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgtckgrenr.

I think a better comparison would be that this is more like a nostr/Bitcoin focused version of restream io.

For the NWC I suggest using coinos.io and sending some sats from wallet of Satoshi to coinos. I like NWC for many reasons but the main one is simulcast.me does not custody your unspent sats. I'll make this more clear on the website.

Simulcast.me is looking better every day

mnpezz 1mo ago 💬 5

Simulcast.me progress update:

✔ RTMP ingest

✔ HLS playback

✔ Shosho compatibility

Simulcast.me now lets you multistream directly from your phone.

If you’ve ever wished nostr:npub1sh0spghk4yvy2d2v35kelw45qq4msk6zykaw4ds047e9slzs8r4qr7q2xa could broadcast to multiple platforms… now it can.

Ey Walker what do you use to multicast?

It works. You can now stream to multiple different platforms including zap.stream.
