Live streaming instead of on-demand possible? #357

Closed analyserdmz closed 2 years ago

analyserdmz commented 2 years ago

Hello, thank you for this project! I am wondering if it's possible to keep selected streams "alive", instead of making them "on demand". And I am explaining...

In some ffmpeg-based projects, there is an option to mark the selected streams as "live". Meaning, there is a FFMPEG process running permanently in the background, and when a new client requests that stream, it directs the client to that stream instead of creating a new process.

The meaning of this is to play live streams (HTTP) and re-stream them by using only one ffmpeg process, to multiple clients.

The following super artistic line explains: HTTP Source Stream is hosting a live stream -> Laravel-FFMPEG configured to get that stream -> One / Multiple client(s) can watch the stream [but even with no clients the stream remains alive, waiting for a client]
