Description

An open-source (MIT) live encoder built on ffmpeg. Send RTMP from OBS and get a two-rendition HLS stream that plays in any browser. Run it yourself, or create it on Open Source Cloud, where the only required setting is a name and no code is needed.

Could you build this?

Partial Configuring basic FFmpeg commands is manageable, but building a reliable, low-latency live RTMP-to-HLS encoding pipeline with multi-bitrate ladder transcode requires streaming infrastructure expertise.

What it would actually take: The system requires an RTMP ingest server (e.g., NGINX-RTMP, Node-Media-Server, or SRS) feeding into an optimized FFmpeg transcode pipeline that generates HLS manifests (.m3u8) and segmented TS/fMP4 files. The critical challenges are CPU/GPU-accelerated encoding tuning, low-latency HLS (LL-HLS) segment timing, and high-bandwidth edge CDN distribution.
