@LoudLemur I think the answer is still to use Peertube, which is much more like "an Immich for videos" than Owncast is.

Owncast is designed specifically for live streams, not for what you are trying to do (if I've understood you correctly).

Note, Peertube also supports livestreaming. But it is specifically designed for uploading and sharing videos that people can watch at anytime.

Have a read of https://docs.joinpeertube.org/use-create-upload-video (that includes details about how to do either a one-off or recurrent/ permanent livestream and gives some examples of streamings using OBS or Jitsi)

How Much Data Will Stream?

There is a tool to help you calculate how much bandwidth will be used here:

https://www.omnicalculator.com/other/streaming-bitrate#upload-speed-for-streaming-live-content

Of course be careful that you don't confuse Mbps (megabits per second) with MBps (MegaBytes per second).

Your Host might distinguish between Ingress (data you send to the Cloudron) and Egress (data sent from your Cloudron to your audience.)

Here is a tough question: What do companies mean when they say they allot you 1TB of bandwidth? If you only stream once a month, for example, and from beginning to end of your recording is 1GB, could you have a maximum of 1024 viewers for your audience?

Or does it mean you could loop the recording and play it 1024 times to as many people as wanted to see it? Or what?

@robi said in What RTMP Ports to use if I want to use both PeerTube and Owncast?:

Then it may be time to ask for a message to not change the peertube port during install/config just like with jitsi, if you do, it won't work.

I think that is a good thing to suggest. It will work, if the default port is not selected, but not all of its functionality (namely the livestreaming ability) would be available, as far as I understand.

I think it would be worth mentioning upstream to frama too. I don't know why they hardcoded it. Maybe it is a temporary thing.

@timconsidine heh I’m good at abandonware. I guess it technically works but im not happy with it rn. But owncast let’s you embed anything and it opens in an iframe

@LoudLemur If you hit the error page, please post the last few lines of the app logs.
