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 👍️

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, an app store with an audience of millions.
If you’re running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) or later, including Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver) and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go.
For versions of Ubuntu between 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) and 15.10 (Wily Werewolf), as well as Ubuntu flavours that don’t include snap by default, snap can be installed from the Ubuntu Software Centre by searching for snapd.
Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
To install Stream Sprout, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install stream-sprout
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
