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 👍️ ### Package name * stream-sprout --- ### License * Apache-2.0 --- ### Last updated * 26 July 2024 - latest/stable * 30 October 2026 - latest/edge --- ### Websites * [github.com/wimpysworld/stream-sprout](https://github.com/wimpysworld/stream-sprout "https://github.com/wimpysworld/stream-sprout") --- ### Donations * [github.com/sponsors/flexiondotorg](https://github.com/sponsors/flexiondotorg "https://github.com/sponsors/flexiondotorg") --- ### Source code * [github.com/wimpysworld/stream-sprout](https://github.com/wimpysworld/stream-sprout "https://github.com/wimpysworld/stream-sprout") --- ### Report a bug * [github.com/wimpysworld/stream-sprout/issues](https://github.com/wimpysworld/stream-sprout/issues "https://github.com/wimpysworld/stream-sprout/issues") --- ##### Report a Snap Store violation * [Report this Snap](https://snapcraft.io/install/stream-sprout/ubuntu#report-snap-modal) --- ## Enable snaps on Ubuntu 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 If you’re running [Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus)](https://www.ubuntu.com/) or later, including [Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver)](https://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/features) and [Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseNotes), 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)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes) and [15.10 (Wily Werewolf)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WilyWerewolf/ReleaseNotes), 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. ### Install Stream Sprout To install Stream Sprout, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install stream-sprout ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
