transcoding with ffmpeg.js (wasm) #9

Closed mpisat closed 2 years ago

mpisat commented 2 years ago

Is it possible to use ffmpeg.js on the frontend side and transcode, then send pre-processed video to FFmpeg for relay (-c copy) for the final destination?

This way it won't consume much server resources and also paves the way for sending video directly from a web browser via websockify (it's just an idea) or node app (similar approach)

no it is not - you cannot open a RTMP socket from the browser (yet...)
