    Hardware Accelerated H.265 Streaming With FFmpeg

    As covered in a previous post, FFmpeg is used at our church to transcode an RTSP stream and send that stream to an RTMP(S) ingestion endpoint. H.264 was previously being used as RTMP didn’t support any other modern codecs. This however changed with the new Enhanced RTMP standard which added support for VP9, H.265 (HEVC), and AV1 in the FLV container. FFmpeg subsequently added support for this new standard starting with the 6.1 release.

    PulseAudio on a Headless Linux Server

    We regularly livestream services at my church for those that are unable to attend in person. The entire system is fully automated, muxing an RTSP stream from an IP camera with audio from the main mixer. This all runs on a headless Linux machine via a cron job using FFmpeg, using the pulse filter to pull audio from the machine’s mic/line-in jack. It’s possible ALSA could be used directly here, however I decided to stick with Pulse.
