Here's an ugly graph!

(This helps me figure out what I need. And also the order things should happen in. It might be the case that my server should be downstream from twitch* instead of upstream.)

* We almost certainly won't use twitch, but you know, something with that kind of functionality.

A badly drawn graph.

A stick figure on the left is labelled "musician" and has a line connecting them to a large box labelled "our server". The line continues inside the box to another box labelled "ffmpeg?".  A line coming  from the bottom of that goes to a database symbol labelled "record to disk".  There are two lines coming out the right and progressing to leave the server. The top line is labelled "video and audio" and connects to the word "twitch". The bottom line is labelled "audio only" and connects to "internet radio server".

My banner image is a fisher price music box disk, as seen in slicer software. I wrote a #SuperCollider quark to translate MIDI to fisher price disks when my youngest nephew was 2 or 3.

So it looks like what I want to do is:

Setup ffmpeg on my server such that:
* streamers can connect to it

it takes that stream and:

* records it
* relays the audio+video stream on to a service like getstreamhosting.com or twitch etc
* creates an output stream of audio only which also gets relayed on or somehow made available to listeners.

My server, on which I don't have root, has ffmpeg 3.4.7

Any documentation anyone knows of would be super appreciated. I'm 90% sure this is possible and not a nightmare.

Some year (not this one obviously), I want to see A Midsummer Night's Dream at the Globe on midsummer.

I also want to do the overnight London to Brighton bike ride, but I think it might not still be running even on normal years.

That sounds lovely, but the festival is entirely online because of covid, so whatever we do needs to be virtual. The tea house you describe is the kind of vibe we want to foster. Those pictures look so lovely.

If somebody is misbehaving so badly that you want to mute their ability to reply to people, why would you want them on your server?

Is this something admins are asking for? Some servers do give warnings, but these kinds of approaches were developed for walled-garden platforms, often with professional moderators.

Those of you going to conferences and festivals: what are some things that work well for creating a social space and a sense of community? Where there any group activities you found especially good? Did they have communication platforms that you enjoyed hanging around in?

@luka This looks very interesting. I hope to offer a low-fi stream, a high-fi stream, an audio-only stream and to make a recording. So I thought an ice cast server on our own server could manage the connections needed for this, but I haven't looked in to any details at all It looks like this could hook up to a hosted streaming service that could deal with potentially more viewers than my own server could manage.

I was just having trouble figuring out what search terms to use to find services like that.

I assume it's possible to relay on to something like the hosting you linked?

@luka Yeah, I should contact them to see if I can just buy one month instead of a year.
