bring up the feature of receiving or calling video calls when live with the audience

[michelson]

save the videos somewhere in gallery ? this would be awesome , right now there is no way to keep them .

[haxzie]

@michelson You can achieve this directly from the streaming application right? Record the sessions? Or are you mentioning something else?

[michelson]

@haxzie oh yes, I guess you are right, I can record on OBS. My intention was that the live streamings will be save directly on instagram account. but I dont know if that's possible

[mattmaniego]

Can we add the feature to choose a fundraising event and search for the organization to donate to?

[RYNEQ]

is it possible go live with some one else by joining his live stream?

[haxzie]

@mattmaniego there are no available APIs to do this, so unfortunately untill these APIs are available we won't be able to launch this. Hope we can get those APIs anytime in near future 👍🏼

[haxzie]

@RYNEQ Currently the app doesn't support having other join your stream, if you really want to others to join your stream outside instagram you can do so through zoom, hangouts or whereby and streaming that to Instagram https://getstreamon.com/blog/live-stream-zoom-video-calls-meetings-instagram-live

Hi,

Currently all feeds that come into the app are in landscape and are then cropped(unless you are using obs and specifically adjust the view to Instagram dimensions etc

Is there a possibility to rotate the incoming rtmp feed so that a landscape stream can show properly(e.g from Zoom? before broadcasting, or changing its dimensions to fit within instagram standards

[haxzie]

@Phiziks, unfortunately there is no way to automatically scale the video output to fit the width in Instagram. Without a middle man (OBS, something else or a built in video encoder within streamon) this is not possible.

Releasing Pin/UnPin live comments in v0.1.7-beta #30

[adiagr]

Hey @haxzie , great project. I saw a lot of requests from people asking for auto scaling of the video. Can we make streamon automatically set up an ffmpeg rtmp listener with a filter to automatically scale the output and add black/blur padding? I'll be willing to do it

[haxzie]

@adiagr That'd be awesome but this might require the app to have it's own streaming listener/server to intercept, scale and then stream to Instagram. Currently Streamon doesn't stream anything, it just creates links and stops the streaming. But, having a custom rtmp listener and streamer within the app can open up a lot of possibilities like, same key and secret, streaming YT videos directly from Streamon without having a broadcasting software. We might need to discuss this further based on use-cases, most users use Streamon with OBS with scaled output for Instagram.

Hey, please let me know if we can discuss this further. I'd be happy to implement this feature using FFMPEG or other such application. I was recently working on a python script to stream to multiple locations simultaneously and that's where I realized that this is achievable quite simply using scale and pad filters in FFMPEG.

Please provide the android version,
This perfectly work with any rtmp-based broadcasting app in android platform (i used DU Recorder for this case) . But the only problem is copying the stream URL and stream key is kinda pain in the ass to manually type it.

Please add the report of the number of views during the live streaming

[vncastanheira]

Does the API support view counts? That is the only thing I missed.

The API used by the App support view counts, but this info is missing in the current version of the Haxzie App.

[leolobato]

It would be helpful to have the number of current viewers (if available through the API).

Also I haven't broadcast in a while, but Instagram used to offer to keep your livestream on your Stories after you're done. I used to use a script a couple of years ago that would do the same through OBS, so I assume it is available on the API (unless Instagram changed this). That is different than recording your own copy of the livestream as it would be available as an "archived live video" on your Stories.

[haxzie]

Hey @leolobato there has been a couple of changes in Instagram apis which prevents/stopped from adding lives to your stories. Now instagram automatically adds the live streams to live archive, the only problem is, this feature is not available to all and hopefully it will be rolled out soon.

[tokejuhoklee]

Any plans on porting this to Arm based Linux distributions, or have any resources to figure out how to compile on arm?

[haxzie]

Would love to know about the distributions you are looking to run the app in. If it's feasible then we can release a setup for that. If you want to try it out you can clone the repository and build from source. Streamon uses electron-builder to generate the packages you can refer the docs to check if it's supported and compile to your target system.

Why don't you make an app like this for TikTok.Will be useful for many streamers.

[ASchneiderBR]

Hello guys. I was wondering if there's a way to join a livestream on Instagram with two persons (like when you invite someone to join the livestream and start a conversation) using OBS only for both users? Not sure how it would work to start a livestream conversation with two different Instagram accounts... Thanks!
