Live Streaming games

[andy_5995]

I was able to stream a game pretty easily today. Using twitch and installing the OBS Studio flatpak. (OBS Studio was available from the Debian repo but I decided to try it with the flatpak instead.)

OBS Studio is also available for macOS and Windows.

I had to deselect 'hardware record' because I got the error "If you are using the NVENC or AMD encoders, make sure your video drivers are up to date". According to the log, it was because I didn't have nvenc support enabled in ffmpeg.

The way Jammy does it, without using OBS Studio and streaming directly to Youtube with ffmpeg, he gave me a few links

If you have an nvdia card
https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/HWAccelIntro

if you use pulseaudio you will need --enable-libpulse https://www.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-devices.html#pulse

My Twitch page; when I stream videos they will show up there.

I see that for regular twitch accounts, videos recorded from streaming are deleted after 14 days. I'll put some on my

PeerTube Channel for permanent storage.

Here is the first ever MG video on PeerTube (yay!).
