As answered by people managing Codegres.org and Castreon.
Castreon's answer:
Cable and IPTV operators, broadcasters, OTT platforms, hotel TV providers and ISPs that run their own Linux servers and want to receive, transcode and deliver live channels without a cloud service or complex setup.
Castreon's answer:
Castreon grew out of years of hands-on work with live streaming infrastructure on Linux: DVB capture, SRT and RIST contribution, transcoding and delivery. Existing tools either covered only part of the chain or needed a lot of scripts around ffmpeg, and problems were hard to diagnose. Castreon was built to cover the whole chain in one product, with clear monitoring and alerts, and is tested on real DVB and IP sources before every release.
Castreon's answer:
Castreon puts a complete live TV headend on one Linux server: DVB capture, SRT/RIST/UDP/RTMP/camera inputs, CPU or GPU transcoding, HLS/DASH/WebRTC delivery, failover, monitoring, archive, playout, SCTE-35 and DRM, all managed from one web panel and installed with one command. No separate products to glue together.
Castreon's answer:
Cable and IPTV operators, broadcasters, OTT platforms, hotel TV providers and ISPs that run their own Linux servers and want to receive, transcode and deliver live channels without a cloud service or complex setup.
Castreon's answer:
Go for the server, React and TypeScript for the web panel, FFmpeg for decoding and encoding (NVIDIA NVENC, Intel Quick Sync, VA-API), SQLite for configuration, Shaka Packager for DRM packaging, Pion for WebRTC, and Prometheus metrics with a Grafana dashboard.
