AVShack (Alpha)

AVSHack is a Linux live streaming server that supports Ingesting, Mixing with Mix Minus, MultiMux, Multistreaming and Recording of RTMP, RTSP, SRT, and MP4 with LL-HLS, WebTransport, and WebSocket Viewing.

The ingested sources can be mixed together into a single stream. The mix can be multistreamed to custom RTMP and SRT destinations; pulled via multimux with rtmp, rtsp or srt; or viewed via LL-HLS or WebTransport.

Configuration is done via a web frontend or a REST api. The web frontend utilizes the REST api.

Currently, the datastore is SQLite.
