Is there anyone who could point me to a way to get this running and served up via a stream that is consumable via VLC?
I have an hdhomreun and watch my antenna via IPTV apps and would love to have a personal “weather channel” on my TV.
I’ve looked in to this in the past, using a node program to take screenshots of the page and try to splice things together with ffmpeg but it was quite awful and didn't work well.
I also wasn’t sure how to have this all ‘spin up’ when the stream is accessed, vs running all the time…but I suppose that is less important.
I'll take any advice! Thank you!
You should be able to get this done with OBS.
Set OBS up so your streaming a window of this application.
Go into OBS settings and go to "Stream" and set it to custom.
For server use "srt://127.0.0.1:7777?mode=listener&timeout=50000&transtype=live"
Then in VLC, open a network stream for srt://127.0.0.1:7777.
