MPEG-DASH is a technique for streaming video over the Internet. MPEG-DASH uses HTTP and can run on any web server.
| 15:04:53 |
| matthewcroughan | By "run on any web server" does it mean "be transported via" ? | 15:05:01 |
| matthewcroughan | it doesn't mean that the webserver is playing the role of ffmpeg | 15:05:11 |
| emily | it can do all but one of the protocols I named and several more besides | 15:05:10 |
| emily | none of this is really on-topic for this room btw… | 15:05:21 |
| matthewcroughan | So you're saying liquidsoap itself can act as the server? | 15:05:52 |
| matthewcroughan | So all I'd need is NGINX + Liquidsoap, rather than mpd + icecast + nginx for example | 15:06:32 |
| matthewcroughan | What, networking and protocols? | 15:06:44 |
| @n4ch723hr3r:nope.chat | https://github.com/mbugeia/srt2hls
this seems to do what you want | 15:07:39 |
| @n4ch723hr3r:nope.chat |
srt2hls use Liquidsoap to receive a stream and encode it in HLS, then it use [nginx] (https://www.nginx.com/) to serve HLS content.
| 15:07:47 |
| matthewcroughan | If the metadata is better supported by mpeg-dash, I'd rather be using that instead of hls | 15:09:53 |
| matthewcroughan | turns out BBC radio actually uses mpeg-dash for everything | 15:10:09 |
| @n4ch723hr3r:nope.chat | you can probably use the liquidsoap file and mod it from HLS to mpeg | 15:10:59 |
| @n4ch723hr3r:nope.chat | so you should probably read into liquidsoap config/scripting | 15:11:43 |

| emily | this is all application layer stuff | 15:18:32 |
 toonn | I do understand the assumption that there's an intersection of interests. Are there popular alternative venues where generallly knowledgeable networking nerds hang out? | 15:37:33 |
 hexa | #sysops:nixos.org | 15:39:49 |
| hexa | maybe | 15:39:51 |
| matthewcroughan | sadly no one in there | 15:57:55 |
