Liquidsoap 2.1 Video Stream with HLS

video_stream.liq

# What is This Script?
# This script allows you to broadcast your AzuraCast radio signal to a remote video stream, using a 
# static video file that loops in the background and dynamically writing the currently playing track
# on top of that video file.
#
# This script replaces the previous "radio-video-stream" project, allowing you to manage files directly from
# within AzuraCast and not requiring any changes to your Docker configuration at all.
# 
# To use this script, you must be running at least AzuraCast 0.19.0 or a later Rolling Release version.
# 
# Before Using This Script:
#  - Upload a video file to a folder under your station's media library (in the example below, named "videostream")
#  - Choose a font to display Now Playing data and upload a TTF version of that font to the same folder
#
# How to Use This Script
#  - Copy the section below.
#  - Visit your station's "Edit Liquidsoap Configuration" section (under "Broadcasting" in newer versions)
#  - Paste the code into the bottom-most configuration section
#  - Customize as necessary with your station's media directory and font specifications
#  - Click "Save Changes" and then "Restart Broadcasting"
#  - Enjoy!

    video_track = ffmpeg.filter.video.input(graph, video_track)

# Output to YouTube
enc = %ffmpeg(
    format="mpegts", 
    %video.raw(codec="libx264", pixel_format="yuv420p", b="300k", preset="superfast", r=25, g=50),
    %audio(
        codec="aac",
        samplerate=44100,
        channels=2,
        b="96k",
        profile="aac_low"
    )
)

output.youtube.live.hls(key=youtube_key, fallible=true, encoder=enc, videostream)

This works perfect for me. But getting bit rate issue (Warning
The stream's current bitrate (597.48 Kbps) is lower than the recommended bitrate. We recommend that you use a stream bitrate of 2500 Kbps.) How can I set bit rate?

dude do you know how F* great is this ? thx so much for the script

@aryanbt... you see the b=300k? thats the video bitrate, and the audio is the b=96k... this is what I am using right now

Output to YouTube

enc = %ffmpeg(
format="mpegts",
%video.raw(codec="libx264", pixel_format="yuv420p", b="2000k", preset="superfast", r=25, g=50),
%audio(
codec="aac",
samplerate=44100,
channels=2,
b="192k",
profile="aac_low"
)
)

Hope it helps

Thanks a lot it works great.

Can someone please share a link to a live example? I'm planning to implement that this year some time.. Thanks.
