Owncast (10k GH stars) It's the most popular self hosted RTMP streaming server with chat integrated. You set it up to host your own stream with chat. Different chat protocols are supported, including Mastodon, but not Nostr. A Nostr integration would 1. Create a Nostr kind 30311 event on live stream starts, and update it as the stream runs/ends 2. Pick up kind 1311 events for the chat feed It would be a very good trojan horse to Nostr. The moment existing Owncast get defaulted into publishing 30311's, Zap Stream etc will be full of content.

I did not know of this. Yes exactly this. And submit it back up stream so every HLS URL ends up on Nostr. Tekkadan must be on Nostr? I haven't spotted him/this before now.
Hello! I am considering an implementation of IRC with nostr authentication for the integrated Owncast chat. I think it could be interesting to combine them in this way, as it would provide a bit more permanence to the integrated chat. When live, a new ephemeral chat can become active for the current session, while other channels could persists across streams. I don't intend to integrate nostr relay based chats but anyone is welcome to do so. I am mostly interested in the few functions listed in the oni repo. Live broadcast events, then authentication with IRC, and NWC + zaps for both users and the admin. Potentially from there NIP-25 reactions could also be worked into the IRC client (looking at Ergo) @cloud fodder has an instance running with nostr auth at noirc.net I'm usually hanging out in there as well if anyone wants to chat with us!
But chat doesn't work yet. And I didn't have a release candidate yet...
