#### Restream a video source to multiple destinations such as Twitch, YouTube, Owncast and Peertube 📡

Stream Sprout 🌱 is a simple, self-contained, and easy-to-use solution for streaming to multiple destinations such as Twitch, YouTube, Owncast and Peertube 📡

It uses FFmpeg to receive the video stream from OBS Studio (or any encoder that can produce RTMP) and then restreams it to multiple destinations. This provides similar functionality as services like Restream.io and Livepush.io but without the need to pay 💸 for a third-party service or run something like Nginx with the RTMP module.

Stream Sprout is configured with a simple YAML file. It is designed to be run on the same computer as your OBS Studio instance (it can be run remotely, too) and does not require root privileges.

There is no transcoding or processing of the video stream 🎞️ The stream is received and then restreamed to the destinations you configure without modification. Optionally you can also archive the stream to disk 💾

While the restreaming process is lightweight, your bandwidth requirements will increase with each destination you add. 📈 Ensure you have sufficient bandwidth to support the number of destinations you intend to stream to ⤴️

Stream Sprout is developed on Linux 🐧 and should work on macOS 🍏 or any other platform that supports bash and ffmpeg 👍️

## Enable snaps on openSUSE and install Stream Sprout

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

Snap can be installed from the command line on openSUSE Leap 15.x and Tumbleweed.

You need first add the *snappy* repository from the terminal. Choose the appropriate command depending on your installed openSUSE flavor.

Tumbleweed:

```
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Tumbleweed snappy
```

Leap 15.x:

```
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Leap_15.6 snappy
```

If needed, Swap out `openSUSE_Leap_15.` for, `openSUSE_Leap_16.0` if you’re using a different version of openSUSE.

With the repository added, import its GPG key:

```
sudo zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys refresh
```

Finally, upgrade the package cache to include the new *snappy* repository:

```
sudo zypper dup --from snappy
```

Snap can now be installed with the following:

```
sudo zypper install snapd
```

You then need to either reboot, logout/login or `source /etc/profile` to have /snap/bin added to PATH.
Additionally, enable and start both the *snapd* and the *snapd.apparmor* services with the following commands:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor
```
