Streamwall

🚧 Early WIP release! 🚧

Streamwall makes it easy to compose multiple livestreams into a mosaic, with source attributions and audio control.

How it works

Under the hood, think of Streamwall as a specialized web browser for mosaicing video streams. It uses Electron to create a grid of web browser views, loading the specified webpages into them. Once the page loads, Streamwall finds the <video> tag and reformats the page so that the video fills the space. This works for a wide variety of web pages without specialized scrapers.

Prerequisites

Node.js and npm. Download the LTS release from here - https://nodejs.org/en/

Setup

Download streamwall. You can use git, or download and unzip https://github.com/chromakode/streamwall/archive/main.zip
Using a terminal/console window, go to the streamwall directory and install the dependencies: npm install

To Start Streamwall

Using a terminal/console window, go to the streamwall directory and run npm run start-local
This will open a black stream window and a browser window. The default username and password are 'woke'.
Use the browser window to load or control streams. The initial list will be populated from https://woke.net/#streams
If you enter the same stream code in multiple cells, it will merge them together for a larger stream.
