Decided to do this as a streaming stress test for my PeerTube server (and to learn more about live streaming setups and how OBS works), will probably lag behind updates in canvas size and such, as nothing like that is automated. Enjoy!

I completely forgot this was going on, there really needs to be a pinned post or something

There is on Lemmy.World.

It’s probably an instance thing. Either way, glad you made it.

Such a good idea!

Umm… Why would anyone watch the live stream as they can literally watch it live at canvas.fediverse.events

You actually make a great point. Really, for me it was mostly a quick idea because I had been musing about PeerTube’s streaming capabilities in a different comment thread, and about how it leverages the P2P mechanism, so it was fresh on my mind that I wanted to stress-test my own server somehow (and I wanted to learn how to set-up OBS with chat and stuff for PeerTube). Then, while “working” on the canvas, I had the sudden: “Hey, I’d love to set my pixels while zoomed in, while also watching the whole field zoomed out”-thought … but of course that would just as easily be possible by just having two browser windows open 🤷

If nothing else, I got some promising data showing my server can handle several people tuning in to live streams at the same time - and I am also using this to test how my server handles someone wanting to encode a 24h+ VOD from a stream, so that will be there, too - probably for another time-lapse in addition to the official ones.

That’s cool. I’m sorry if it came across like I was criticizing your live stream, that wasn’t my intention. I just wanted to add the link to the actual event since it was missing from your post.

And now that you mention it, it is cool to have the whole event (or at least most of it) available as a VOD, if someone wants to put together more timelapses for example.
