I know, it's a very first-world problem. But in my house, we have a hard time deciding what to watch. Too many options! So I made this to recreate Cable TV for YouTube. I made it so it runs in the browser. Quickly import your subscriptions in the browser via a bookmarklet. No accounts, no sign-ins. Just quickly import your data locally.

I wanted to share the status with the Owncast project. If Wordpress is your self-hosted version of Medium, then this is your self-hosted version of Twitch. I've been little by little chipping away at building an easy to use and super useful live streaming server for individuals. It's still early days, but some recent updates include a dashboard where you can see some basic viewer metrics, configuration settings, and how your hardware is handling all that video crunching. We all know working with video can be intensive on the hardware side, so hopefully this helps people keep tabs on things.…

It might come down to taste, but I feel like a lot of the "features" Twitch has been adding have cluttered the interface while offering little of value for someone like me who just watches streams occasionally and isn't closely involved in community events. But most importantly, I'm bothered by the non-dismissable popups that now appear over the video feed. They seem to be for extensions, but what features they provide evades me. These two uBlock Origin rules (which you can add in the My Filters tab) will remove the main two modals that can pop up over the video:…

I love Streamlit but have run into many situation where taking it from PoC to MVP state is insurmountable. With all the recent HN hype around htmx and sematic html / classless css I decided to build a Streamlit alternative using these on top of FastAPI. This has a couple advantages: 1) easier to extend when you move past PoC since the FastAPI app is exposed (allowing adding more routes) and hstream acts more like a typical web stack 2) with htmx and html (plus MVP.css) doing the heavy lifting the package is alot less complex and easier to reason about - and hopefully more performant…

The open source, self-hosted alternative to Restream, StreamYard, and vMix. Self-hosted multistream studio. Ingest from any source -- OBS, hardware encoders, mobile, browser -- over RTMP, SRT, or WebRTC (WHIP coming soon). Switch between inputs live in a browser-based production switcher. Fan-out to every platform at once: YouTube, Twitch, Kick, Facebook, or any custom RTMP/RTMPS endpoint. One stream in, or many. Every destination, simultaneously. No cloud middleman, no per-channel fees, no limits.

Hi HN! I built SkipCut it’s like an ad-free, distraction-free YouTube with useful extras: background play, SponsorBlock, dark mode, playlist support, local history, download/share buttons… and it works on any device. No install. No login. Here’s the best part: It works just by replacing "youtube" with "skipcut" in the video link. You skip all the boring stuff — ads, sponsors, intros, silence, filler and just watch what matters. Why it’s different: No comments. No suggested videos. No clickbait. I made this for my kid, I create a playlist and just send a SkipCut link like:…

Hi there HN! I'm Matthias and I've been into video streaming for quite a while now. Over the years I've built plenty of small setups, often CLI tools to test and debug streaming video. About a month ago, during my annual holiday, I started working on a simple API on top of my CLI tools. It's time consuming to craft and run multiple ffmpeg jobs, get GOP / keyframes right, merge playlists, package to HLS, ... One thing led to another and I eventually started exploring HLS interstitials, VMAP / VAST and dynamic ad insertion, MSE / EME (HLS.js in general), React (perf) as a player…

GhostHub▲18I built GhostHub because I was tired of Plex/Jellyfin setups just to watch or share a few files. This lets you: - Run instantly (Python script, .exe, or Docker) - Browse media in a swipe-based UI (mobile + desktop) - Share online with built-in tunnel support (Cloudflare or Pinggy) - Set session passwords, live sync views, and even chat No logins. No setup. Just run it, point it to a folder, and go. Live demo (limited features): https://ghosthub.net Would love feedback, bug reports, or ideas!
