Yes, I'm aware that this is a weird edge case scenario. What I'm trying to do is to get my OBS output to go to VLC player so I can then broadcast my OBS audio and video via Go Live on discord by sharing VLC, rather than rely on virtual audio cables to route them into a 'virtual mic' (you cannot capture desktop audio in Discord Go Live, only a selected app window's sound). With me so far?
I do know that guides exist for outputting from one computer to another and having the receiving computer view it in VLC, however this kinda thing is all totally new to me, RTMP, UDP, nginx, etc, this isn't stuff I'm experienced with. I do have an older, weaker laptop if I absolutely must run a second computer to host the video, but is there some way I can just have it stay in my local computer (sans bouncing off my router if it has to) so I don't have to boot up a second one to receive it? Or is it beyond the scope of those guides?
