Question / Help OBS support ARM (Raspberry Pi/Banana Pi)

[Danubio]

Hi there I talk about this in the IRC chat, need a new support for ARM, need broadcast only audio do not need video, in the irc chat I see good news that is possible only with audio support

 

[Danubio]

I have Lubuntu 14.04 running on Banana Pi

Jim didn't say it was possible, he said it may be possible eventually. It is not currently possible and is not a very high priority.

If it's just audio this can easily be done with an FFMPEG command. The only reason OBS is so useful is the ability to manipulate multiple video sources in a scene and be able rescale them and put them where ever you want and of course having scene switching. If you only need to stream audio to an rtmp server than simple use a ffmpeg command and you'll be set.

depending what OS you installed on your Pi will depend if your version of ffmpeg has native support for streaming built in already. For example Rasbian's bundled ffmpeg doesn't come with streaming support so I foresee you asking how to get ffmpeg with streaming support on your raspberry Pi, here's instructions for building it on ARM. http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=67&t=47472

By the way, for a device like Raspberry, isn't video/audio enconding a bit to hard?

you can find out what version of ffmpeg you have in your lubuntu install by issuing this a terminal

ffmpeg --version

paste back what it says so we can see if you have to compile ffmpeg or not

like this step how to install ffmpeg

http://lumux.co.uk/2012/07/03/cross-compiling-ffmpeg-for-the-raspberry-pi/



but on the line:


./configure --host=arm-linux --cross-prefix=${CCPREFIX} --enable-static

I see

No working C compiler found.

I'm going to start working on something like this later this month but I think ill use ffmpeg and start from scratch rather than porting obs as all im using it for is capturing using a webcam or a capture card on my raspberry pi and live streaming it.

I know that arm isnt the best performance wise but it should be able to do something like 720p 30fps as ffmpeg has really good optimizations
