Products that do what Uncompressed – Self-hosted Netflix alternative at 60 Mbps instead of 15 does

Netflix compresses 4K to 15 Mbps. A Blu-ray remux is 60 Mbps. Dark scenes, fast motion, grain. That's where you see it. I wanted my family to have Blu-ray quality with a streaming UX. They open Overseerr on their phone, request a movie, and it shows up in Infuse on Apple TV. Subtitles in three languages, hardware transcoding for mobile, full remux on the big screen. They have no idea what's behind it. What's behind it: Sonarr, Radarr, Prowlarr find and grab content. qBittorrent downloads through a WireGuard tunnel. Bazarr pulls subtitles. Jellyfin serves it all.

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.

CompressX, my FFmpeg wrapper for macOS▲170
Hey HN, just wanted to share my success story with CompressX, my FFmpeg wrapper for macOS. For those who may not be familiar, FFmpeg is a powerful tool for converting, streaming, and recording audio and video content. I started CompressX as a weekend project to serve my 9-5 jobs, primarily to compress demo videos for uploading to GitLab and sharing with my colleagues.
