Not sure what the requirements are but I do have a 170k views and
a couple of hundred subscribers...<br>
<br>
Historically I think you had to have a much larger
channel/following but I'm pretty sure it's available even to new
channels now...<br>

I thought that youtube required 5k subscribers to a
channel before they would consider broadcasting as you
are doing<br>

Will be most happy if I have this wrong, because this
could be a V useful service...<span class="HOEnZb"><font

<p>Other factors<br>
</p>
<ul>
<li>3 hours at 1.5 MBits/sec is 2 Gbytes.
Allowing for 25% streaming overhead gives 2.5
GBytes. Have to get a data addon: 2 degrees
charges 50c per MB for casual data usage (for
a total of $1200!), but offer a 3 GB data
addon for $50, or about 1.7c / MB<br>
</li>
<li>you standard USB data modem advertises 21
Mbits per sec, which should be enough to carry
2--2.5 Mbits per sec for the media stream</li>
</ul>
<p>OBS knows how to stream to other broadcasting
services, so now I have a few other alternative
to investigate:</p>
<ul>
<li>Twitch (apparently popular with gamers:
rather than playing, you can watch others
play)</li>

<p>Thank you for the pointer to broadcast

available, but was obviously searching for the
wrong thing.</p>

<div>We have a family celebration
coming up in January, and want
to be able to provide a live
audio and video stream from the
event for people who cannot be
there.<br>
<br>
</div>
I have the following available:<br>
<ul>
<li>Video camera with microphone
input, microphone, and AV
capture device that are
compatible with V4L2</li>
<li>Laptop running Ubuntu 14.04
desktop<br>
</li>
<li>Mobile data modem</li>
<li>Low-spec VPS (2 core, 4G
RAM, 1 Gbps network
connection, 5 TB bandwidth per
month) running Ubuntu 10.04
server<br>
</li>
</ul>
<p>The plan would be for the
laptop to capture the audio and
video which will send it to the
server. Absent family and
friends can then connect to the
server, preferably using a web
browser, to watch the
proceedings. There will probably
be 4 or 5 families watching from
around the world.<br>
</p>
<p>Some rationale:<br>
</p>
<ul>
<li>I prefer the video camera,
microphone and capture device
to a web cam because it should
give more control over the
picture and sound quality.</li>
<li>I prefer the video camera,
microphone and capture device
to an IP cam because I don't
want to spend the money.</li>
<li>I don't want all of the
guests connecting directly to
the laptop, as all their
traffic goes via the mobile
data modem -- I suspect costs
will mount up quickly, though
I should estimate what it will
cost.<br>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Now, VLC can capture the video
and stream it to another
instance of VLC using a few
different protocols. I have not
had success with the audio yet,
but it might just need to swear
at it a bit more.</p>
<p>Motion and ZoneMinder might be
appropriate, but ZoneMinder does
not support audio.</p>
Can anyone offer any advice,
before I spend days playing with
things: what software to use, what
to avoid, what have I not thought
of, will my low-spec VPS be
adequate to server 5 streams, any
other thoughts?</div>
