SSTV Live Streaming Platform

Inspiration

My high school's student tv station (SSTV) needs a new live streaming system, which supports local area network, for broadcasting programs that made by school official and students. So I and my teammates decide to make one simple live streaming platform that usable and low cost that compatible with old computer in my high school.

What it does

It runs on a computer with windows system and high-speed network connection, receives rtmp stream that from broadcasting computer and provides a html website that play the stream.

How we built it

We used Nginx server for basis, then using Nginx-rtmp-module to make it compatible with live streamming. We built the home website and the play website, which using video.js player.

Challenges we ran into

Command line operation will be hard for high school student, so we need to make the operation of the platform backend simple. So we have to rebuild the server from ubuntu to Windows platform.
