Can this do web RTC between servers? Can we construct a tree of OBS instances?
The numbers are purely illustrative. I don’t know what OPS can actually do but let’s say each OBS server can handle 50 connections that means if we had a two level deep tree, we could handle 2500 participants in a single call.
I don't have an idea on how to do cascading OBS instances. I should write some software to make this easy though. I want to make 'self hosting' as easy as possible. I think https://github.com/glimesh/broadcast-box will fill that gap for now.
What I would like to see is a Twitch like experience but within your own space, aka what a website is for the web, and the hoster is nothing more than a facilitator. So you pay for the basic tech and maybe bandwidth but the rest is up to the streamer. Would be great to have a real alternative to Twitch that’s completely your own. People could still federate, but there is also a mainhub (broadcastbox.com or whatever)
What if you create extra facilities on a unified website? I would pay for that. Maybe sub functions, chat functions and so on. You need that for more discoverability I think.
