Streaming to Youtube

[Aaron Street]

Hi, 

Can any one suggest a way to stream to youtube from araspberry pi also running motion eye? 

I am running a Pi Zero and already it seems to struggle (indeed so do my pi 3b) to capture at a decent frame rate. but i would like to be able to redirect the stream to youtube as well as inside my house. 

Thank you

Unfortunately, motionEye grabs control of the camera and doesn't share the actual camera nicely. You could possibly use the shared stream at port 8081 on something like

https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/live-stream-youtube-raspberry-pi/

using the URL: http://localhost:8081

but this is going to be very unsatisfactory on a PiZeroW, might be tolerable on a Pi3B+ or Pi4B with gigabit ethernet...

I was thinking if its possible to leverage the movie_extpipe part of the config 

This option specifies whether to send the output to a pipe for external encoding into a movie

           and examples are 

          movie_extpipe ffmpeg -y -f rawvideo -pix_fmt yuv420p -video_size %wx%h -framerate %fps -i pipe:0 -vcodec libx264 -preset ultrafast -f mp4 %f.mp4

Which is not far what you would use to stream to youtube which is something like this. 

ffmpeg -loglevel debug -threads:v 2 -threads:a 8 -filter_threads 2 -thread_queue_size 512 -f dshow -i video="HP Wide Vision HD" -f dshow -i audio="Microphone Array (Realtek Audio)" -pix_fmt yuv420p -c:v libx264 -qp:v 19 -profile:v high -rc:v cbr_ld_hq -level:v 4.2 -r:v 60 -g:v 120 -bf:v 3 -refs:v 16 -f flv rtmp://youtube_stream_url/stream_key

I not sure why this would not work. (apart from the resorces the zero has :) )

you could probably do it using a full linux distro (not motionOS).    Start streamyard in a browser and point it to youtube channel.

@Aaron Street

by using motion_extpipe you are basically talking to motion (https://github.com/Motion-Project/motion) directly, anyway.

One or the other is going to suffer ppor to unacceptable performance (especially on a Zero)
