Streaming directly from OBS to HTML browser on local network.

So I've done some research on this but nothing conclusive as of yet. What I'm trying to achieve is to stream directly to HTML browser as player on a local network, so that way as users join the network they will be faced with a link or open the stream automatically on their devices.
Any suggestion is welcome.

Do I understand correctly, that you want to give people a link to a browser that you interface to with obs. ie. IPTV? Do you want chat?

No I don't but I guess I can host one on my Mac mini to serve the webpage.

I've been "flirting: with owncast.. I'm sure there are lots of ways to do iptv, but owncast worked out pretty well for me. I decided to self host and and brought a raspberry pi to do the streaming (linux - denian 12). I actually reserved a domain name and added to it to point to my owncast server. It's designed to act like a webserver if you us a browse (with chat) or a IPTV service if using VLC. It can be embedded in a website if desired.
Anyway , take a look at this and see if it's anything near what you want

It's not streaming all the time, but handles "no streaming" smoothly.

Many thanks for this, I will look into Owncast. NDI was another way I thought I could do it. I have one of those TBS 2603SE NDI Encoder laying around I could try to experiment with.

Thanks. A feature of casttor ai is that it can generate a schedule, months ahead and generate a tv guide, up to 2 weeks in length. Here is the forum blog I started about this, flirting with owncast and self hosting.

Owncast is an environment similar to youtube etc, just not as well known. There is no censorship and you are pretty much allowed to have you own channel with your own stuff. But, You should still pay attention to copyright laws. Owncast has a central directory where other people have their...
