Question / Help Seamless Stream-overtake possible?

[M1notaur]

Hey, guys!

I have authorized another broadcaster for my stream - so he has received an individual stream-key. I've read somewhere that normally he will kick me out when he tries connecting - this is what I want. Right now it doesn't work like that - I have to disconnect first. Is it because he uses another stremkey than me (I'm using the original one) - should we use the same?

Beside that maybe someone can help me on another problem as well regarding Teeboard. I'm hoping! :)

We both are using Teeboard. When I've streamed he always has to relogg into my Twitch account on his Teeboard. Same for me after he streamed. Is there any way I can work around this, so it still does an auto login (after one successful login) when we start Teeboard for each of us? Maybe with multiple access tokens or something?
Teeboard gets for him the original streamkey as well - while he uses the alternate one for OBS. Is this affecting the situation somehow?

Risky enough that I enter my password on the PC from others - but a complete work around is probably not available, right?


A lot of questions. Hope you can help me out!


Thanks a bunch!


Best,
Tim

This used to work on twitch a long time ago but nowadays the only way to stop a stream is stopping it on your end or twitch side (force shutdown by admin or staff).
Its not possible to takeover anymore.

You may be able to do this with a custom nginx repeater machine handling the changeover, or possibly even serving 'stock videos' while no active person is connected and livestreaming. Would need to look into that more though, and probably run it on a Linode or something like that.

I forgot about that.
Yea nginx is able to accomplish that but its pretty complex, we did some research into that for a charity marathon a while back.

Yes, the nginx method sounds too complex for me. The "stock videos" you imagined to be played with that too, right?

I've ended up renting a box, having Ubuntu, nginx and an RMTP server up and running. The forwarding to Twitch works pretty fine, but how to handle the "stock video"-streaming from the box in the meantime when noone is streaming?

Thanks,
