A youtube stream example? #21

Closed elieobeid7 closed 5 years ago

elieobeid7 commented 5 years ago

There's no tutorial for this library nor documentation, all I have is a readme, it's not clear to me where to put the file youtube.key, should I put it in the same directory of my project? Should I call it anything or just put the key in an empty file?

Is it possible to provide the simplest working example of how to stream to youtube, like a getting started script which one could use as a template?

Thank you, a tutorial is clearly needed.

The way I usually use PyLivestream is to have the Git repo cloned to a directory. By default, the scripts like Microphone.py look for *.key files like youtube.key in the same directory.

For example, if I have directory ~/pylivestream/ with Microphone.py et al there, then by default you should have ~/pylivestream/youtube.key and other key files you might use.

The names of the keyfiles can be arbitrary, they are set in stream.ini.

So if I was just getting started, I would create a file youtube.key under ~/pylivestream or wherever the top-level scripts are (Microphone.py, Webcam.py etc) that contains nothing more than the random string given to you by YouTube Live streaming interface.
