Thread - Nostr Hypermedia

Hey, I tested the new Shosho backend today. First off: it’s impressively fast, no buffering at all on my end, noticeably smoother than the other backends. I did notice a few things while testing though: The stream stopped after ~30 minutes on the Shosho side, even though OBS was still streaming and the stream continued to show normally on my LFL site. Not sure what triggered the stop, but it might be a timeout or session limit. In Zap Stream, the streamer name showed up as Shosho (overseer/host) instead of my pubkey, which looks like the same p-tag / overseer issue I’ve seen on my own backend as well. I'll have to ask the ZS dev about this issue. I couldn’t find any recording or VOD link published back to Nostr (no recording/url tag in the kind:30311 event), since recording is a core feature you mentioned, so I may be missing where that’s exposed. Overall though, performance-wise it’s excellent, and I’m happy to keep testing

Hi Mar, thanks, great feedback! I found the 30311 event for your stream and you're right. What should have happened was that the recording URL gets added to the Nostr event as a "recording" tag, but that tag is absent. That's a bug. I didn't test extensively with longer streams and so perhaps it relates to a) that disconnection you experienced after 30 minutes, or b) perhaps that longer recordings take more time to process and I need to expand some tolerances. I'll look into it! Meanwhile here's a link to your recording. https://customer-51tzzrmdygiq19h7.cloudflarestream.com/8e7d68bda62d52a74bcb9d16405835d4/manifest/video.m3u8

Hi Mar, the issue with "Sho Bot" showing instead of your username may be fixed now. Kieran has made a change to Zap Stream. Would you be interested to test it again?

I steamed this morning, and yes the problem is fixed. Didn't have any issues on your backend. It was fast as usual. I don't stream from zap stream, so I noticed I can't accept your TOS but I can still stream. I'll have to look into how to add a TOS button, but the TOS links to zap steam and not the backends website with their own TOS, because I didn't accept my own backend TOS. I'll have to put in a ticket in for backends administrators to have their own TOS. Another thing I have to test on yours as well, is the stream sats because I've noticed that in 2 backends my steaming sats went down faster then the time I steamed. Started off with 60 sats and by 20 minutes I was out of sats. The price was 1 sat per minute so I should've got 60 minutes. I'm trying to track that down if it's all the backends. The main zap stream backends are 0.01 per minute so hard to notice if that is happening there too. I'll have to put in a ticket for that too. Yours is free so can't test that yet. but other then that, my stream went well. I'll keep using it and others to see if I can find more bugs.
