We have used this for live performance streaming, discussions, video premiere parties, the new years fedi stream parade marathon and hopefully more you'd like to bring to the community!
If you have an idea for original programming live or recorded do DM. We have the venue and a global crew of rather friendly listeners if we're being honest 🥰
Super excited that with a handful of minor maintenance releases behind us, #owncast can start looking towards big features again. Lots of preparation work is going on now for all of that. Check out the roadmap, and say hi if you'd like to be involved! https://owncast.online/roadmap/
@owncast@mxks And hey...this is Kit, the person behind @mxks and the Owncast Newsletter! I'd love to have some friends along for the ride developing the #Owncast#Roku channel! DM me or email me if you're interested in helping!

@homeassistant
Any livestream link for an open platform, eg OwnCast, Peertube etc? Alternatively, can the recording be made available at a non #GAFAM source? @balloob
Owncast is awesome! I just played around a little with it and it just works! You genuinely can go in under a minute from not having ever heard of it to streaming over your own server! See https://owncast.online/quickstart/installer/ for how.
We really need more software that just works and is beautiful and user-(i.e. human)-respecting!
One thing I do miss from deleting my #Twitch account is the #Music section. There are some really talented people there streaming music. Are there any people out there streaming music via #Owncast?
Still mulling over my approach to live video here on the #fediverse while the build streams are on hold for a few weeks.
Put the #owncast server on pause for a bit to give them time to get a couple more milestones under their belt, and haven’t yet activated live streaming on our #peertube.
I want to get the Frankie Play #vtuber stuff going again but not sure there’s any audience for it here. Here’s a recent Twitch VoD.
Two years ago this week was my 1st federated stream with #Owncast and every boost and share since has been a vindication of the 85% viewer sacrifice I made when I quit Facebook. SUCK IT FACEBOOK
Event reminder, today Saturday 02 March, 2000 UTC.
Please join indie alt friends @allflowers for a watch party premiere of their new video for "Hey! This Way"
We'll go live with chat a bit ahead of the time with some Allflowers tunes as we assemble. We'll warm up at the top of the hour with a few of their other videos and roll into the premiere.
Hangout and chat with the band and RFF friends and artists if keen or just #joinIn and watch/listen.
I've been working for a while on this, so I decided I should share it with the intranet, world, whatever this is. I'm not expecting it to do a lot, since owncast is largely unknown in the sphere where this might be useful, but here goes, hopefully someone has some kind of use out of it
what is this?
This is a program that reads #owncast chats for you aloud, using your system's text to speech engine. For windows, that would be tolk, so your screenreader of choice, while for linux, that would be speech dispatcher.
is this scraping the page?
Well, no, not really. Instead, it's more like the owncast client itself. This works by joining the stream as a bot, viewing chat as it comes in, then forwarding it to your screenreader or speech dispatcher
how to use it?
compile it(no binaries this time, sorry!)
you run it once from the terminal, and it will tell you what to do
a new file, called settings.toml, will appear in your folder. The variable names are pretty self-explanatory, edit them and run the program again
enjoy!
to exit, do so with ctrl+c, don't mind the error exit code, it's fine, you're fine, the world is fine, blame cargo, tokio or something like that, ok?

sorry for no docs or anything, this was a codedump for a while now, so that's how it gotta be for a while longer. That being said, here's the thing
