This was causing output files to have the extension .es, which was breaking loading in Windows (loading off the filesystem gave mime type text/plain, which is forbidden by the renderer for script type=module)
Streamwall
🚧 Streamwall v2.0 is a work-in-progress 🚧
Goals for the v2 branch:
- TypeScript
- Use Electron Forge to distribute packaged releases
- Split out control server; refactor for local-only use without a webserver
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.
Configuration
Streamwall has a growing number of configuration options. To get a summary run:
npm start -- --help
For long-term installations, it's recommended to put your options into a configuration file. To use a config file, run:
npm start -- --config="../streamwall.toml"
See example.config.toml for an example.
Data sources
Streamwall can load stream data from both JSON APIs and TOML files. Data sources can be specified in a config file (see example.config.toml for an example) or the command line:
npm start -- --data.json-url="https://your-site/api/streams.json" --data.toml-file="./streams.toml"
Hotkeys
The following hotkeys are available with the "control" webpage focused:
- alt+[1...9]: Listen to the numbered stream
- alt+shift+[1...9]: Toggle blur on the numbered stream
- alt+s: Select the currently focused stream box to be swapped
- alt+c: Activate Streamdelay censor mode
- alt+shift+c: Deactivate Streamdelay censor mode
