LiveStreamer

Broadcasting your Linux desktop to Twitch

A command-line live video/audio streamer

Preparation

  • You should install ffmpeg, libav-tools before streaming. The script auto_prepare.sh does the job for you.
  • Start video streaming only from one script file, mostly for linux platform. This works on ubuntu 14.04 very well.
  • For live video streaming on twitch, you should have a twitch account and the twitch key stored in a file twitch_key.txt under this folder.
  • Try $~ ./livestreamer.sh
