streamer

• watches a directory (a) or sqs queue (b)
• streams the oldest video, then a) move it to an archive directory or b) delete it from the queue
• streams a idle loop if no video is found
• stops streaming after $IDLE_TIMEOUT seconds with no new video
• resumes stream when new video is found

This requires all videos to have the same codecs, resolution etc.

Usage

INPUT_DIR=input/ ARCHIVE_DIR=archive/ IDLE_VIDEO=idle.mp4 OUTPUT_URL='rtmp://live.twitch.tv/app/xx' ./streamer.sh

Or in Docker:

docker build -t streamer .
docker run --rm --net=host -v $PWD/input:/input -v $PWD/archive:/archive -v $PWD/idle.mp4:/assets/idle.mp4 \
    -e OUTPUT_URL='rtmp://live.twitch.tv/app/xx' -p 8080:8080 streamer
