project-management-only/home-tv-station#1: Initial Build

Issue Information

Issue Type: issue
Status: closed

Milestone: v0.1
Created: 03-Aug-24 13:45



Description

Build your own TV station (because why the fuck not)

I want to set up a live TV channel that I can subscribe the various TVs to.

That way, rather than figuring out what I want to watch, I can sometimes just switch to what's on.

The commits will appear here later, but I currently have this working in a locally run docker container, providing both RTMP and HLS:

That's triggered by running the following

docker run \
--name rtmp \
--rm \
-it \
-p 8080:80 \
-p 1935:1935 \
-v /home/ben/holly_mounts/kat-Series/:/media \
test

I'm just waiting for the episode to end to ensure that things switch over OK (I seem to remember there's a nginx-rtmp config option needed to prevent players closing, but we'll see)

Episode ended - HLS coped with it fine, the RTMP playback crapped itself (by the looks of it because timestamps are now out of order) - following up on that in project-management-only/home-tv-station#5

Message

feat: minimum viable product (project-management-only/home-tv-station#1)

When run in docker the container:

  • Spins up nginx-rtmp, preconfigured for an application called benstv (making this configurable is a TODO)
  • Looks for media in /media (configurable via env var) and publishes a random video
  • Exposes the played media as both a RTMP and a HLS Live stream
