• Video site with 800GB of >512MB videos and 900GB Cloudfront bandwidth costs too much ($800/mo). Cloudflare? R2?

  How are you storing/serving the videos? You might look at a service like mux.com which both hosts files behind a CDN but optimizes video delivery with adaptive bitrate streaming. If you are serving whole/raw video files off Cloudfront that could impact your costs. Source: 10 months ago

• Low cost live stream providers? My clients always request facebook, but as I branch out, I'd like to be able to offer something that looks more professional.

  Vimeo is a solid platform. Most alternatives you'll find searching for "vimeo vs." are just marketing / billing wrappers around the mux.com streaming platform. If you are somewhat technically inclined you can use mux.com directly and embed it on your website yourself. Source: about 1 year ago

• Curtain pulled back: Cover pdf on business methodology, growth opportunities and strategies into the future.

  Feels like there's no real alternative to Youtube since they have large enough capital to run the site to be barely able to break even. Feels like something like https://mux.com would meet the purpose jut feels like free streaming is way too costly. Source: about 1 year ago

• Need help with building a CEA/CTA-708 closed captions encoder for MPEG-TS video streams

  The repo is unmaintained, ever since Matt moved from Twitch to mux.com, so the library does need a maintainer. There are some bugs and PRs that could do with merging to head, but it is generally functional, with some quirks. The code is used in both OBS and Gstreamer Rust bindings. Source: about 1 year ago

• I built Senja, a tool to collect testimonials and turn them into marketing material with Sveltekit.

  So Senja uses Mux under the hood for video storage and streaming. It's an amazing solution! Source: over 1 year ago

• having crashing issues

  There's something called Golightstream: https://golightstream.com/ which is basically a cloud streaming service for your console and browser. It's sort of expensive ($20 / month for 720p 30fps annually) but it would remove the need for OBS and potentially save you more resources. There's a 7 day free trial. Source: 11 months ago

• Can I Stream Directly Off Of My Ps5 To Apps Like Twitch & TikTok?

  If you want to be able to stream to other locations and add things to your stream, LightStream might be the best option. Source: about 1 year ago

  Does anyone know of a self-hosted alternative to https://melonapp.com/ / https://golightstream.com/. Source: over 1 year ago

• Can you have a browser source when streaming using Xbox’s twitch app
