Stream Sprout

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 👍️
