Hi,

I would just like to use SSR to broadcast on a V4L2loopback device like /dev/videoX and not record on a file a all. is it possible to do it?

thanks

Try it, see what errors you get.

If you can't get it to work you can use mkfifo to make a pipe, and use ffmpeg on the other end of the pipe to convert it appropriately.

I would like to try, but your GUI offers to save to a file. so if I choose /dev/video0 it wants to override it. I can't see any video source selectable though....
