This is the official support thread for https://watch.8ch.moe/ What is this site? A place for anons to stream anything they'd like. You can stream any video you'd like, and users can join chat anonymously. Streams can also be embedded elsewhere for easy sharing. Chat is built around XMPP, so you can connect with any Jabber client. Streams are generic RTMP streams, so you can connect and view them directly. For example, you can watch a stream in VLC instead of on the website. What can't it do? So far, no emotes/images in the chat. This should be available soon. Theme support is poor. The site can have one global theme. User-selectable themes and channel-specific CSS coming soon. The site supports uploading videos and storing clips, but these features are currently disabled. If there's strong interest, I can make it available, but I'd need a way to pay for storage space. Why should I use this? The goal is to provide anons with an easy, convenient way to get a media stream. Other sites actively police uploads to enforce "community guidelines". It can be inconvenient to share some media as a result. The site isn't working well! Leave a reply here describing the problem. If you're having performance issues, I can help diagnose. If the site is being used heavily and begins to struggle, I can download more RAM to make it go faster. I'll be doing some streams myself in the coming weeks, so keep an eye out for announcements.

How do you stream?

Anonymous 11/21/2020 (Sat) 00:27:38 Id: 7c0bdc No. 1549

>>1548 Create an account, and then a channel. Each account can host multiple channels. Then, visit your channels page and select the channel you want to stream on. It should expand into a network graph. Look for the settings gear on the left. This page will provide a stream link and key. The format is rtmp://watch.8ch.moe/stream/[stream key]. You can drop that into anything that supports streaming media. OBS is the obvious example, but I've been doing my test streams just using FFMPEG. I believe the encoding must be H.264 MP4. It's recommended you set there to be 1 keyframe per second. Once you start streaming, it will automatically go live.

Streams don't seem to load over any tor connections.

Anonymous 11/24/2020 (Tue) 08:21:16 Id: 7c0bdc No. 1555

>>1551 I haven't done any testing with Tor and can't guarantee it will work. There's very little information on sending RTMP streams through Tor. What little I can find implies it is possible, but it might require streams sending at a lower bitrate. Enabling adaptive bitrates might solve this. I'll do some testing in the near future to see if I can identify the problem and get Tor working, but since streaming is high-bandwidth and requires low latency, I can't promise I'll ever get it working 100%.

>>1551 >>1555 I did a bunch of research into this a while back while considering a censorship-proof, tor-based youtube type site. The max average streaming bandwidth you have over tor is ~300kbps. It can be done, but its gonna be hard.

Can you stream vidya?

Anonymous 11/25/2020 (Wed) 16:49:06 Id: ee3e3f No. 1569

>>1559 Well I'm glad it's working. I still can't guarantee it'll always work, especially not for every stream, but I'm glad it's working sometimes. >>1567 You can stream anything you'd like. OBS works with it out of the box. It's recommended to set it to 1 keyframe every second because this is what the server is optimized for. It works just like any other streaming service. You're welcome to stream anything that doesn't violate US law.

Anonymous 11/26/2020 (Thu) 07:29:33 Id: 200d71 No. 1572

>>1569 How should the settings look exactly I'm still not sure if I'm doing it right. My stream looks a bit better than it did at first with these settings that i got to through some trial and error but i still don't know what I'm doing could be missing something obvious because i haven't really done much streaming. The most annoying thing was the color, in my preview the color looks perfect but in the stream itself the color was slightly off. In the game the red of some outfits looked orange and for anime the colors were a bit more saturated and maybe darker. Not sure if it was actually an issue or my eyes are playing tricks on me or it is the monitor i had the stream on.

Anonymous 11/26/2020 (Thu) 14:51:53 Id: ee3e3f No. 1580

>>1572 As far as I know, the server isn't doing anything to video streams. I'd compare the preview side-by-side with the stream on the same monitor to verify colors are different. If there's a difference from your source file, the issue is probably with OBS. I'd cap the bitrate at 3500 Kbps, which is what the server' is (supposed to be) capped at, and maybe disable Psycho Visual Tuning in case it's playing with color values. But changing the bitrate and keyframes really shouldn't affect color that much. It sounds a lot more like a difference between two monitors. My secondary monitor is washed out and has terrible color reproduction, but it's not obvious until I compare something on both.

Its be careful with how you do emotes/images, cytube has run into a bit of potential security concerns with whatever ranging file hosts. Maybe whitelist it outright to known legit hosts.

I don't know if it's possible to delist sites of your own accord from search engines but I'd consider doing it if possible. The DMCA sniffers corporations have are getting increasingly advanced and now scan livestreams in real time on (((twitch))) for any (((copyrighted))) music and take instantly submit takedown requests when they detect anything. At some point you could see them even submitting auto takedowns over copyrighted images and shit.

Its been brought up by some viewers a couple times that they'd like quality options since they have poo internet and can't always stream source. I think 2 options should probably do it. Source quality and 480p.

>>1779 >>1786 Adaptive streaming has been disabled once again. The server has enough horsepower for about 2 streams and that's it. 3 pushes it to 100% CPU. I need hardware with a dedicated GPU or a much beefier CPU. I'll see if I can tweak it to only generate one alternative bitrate per stream, which might keep things manageable.

Clicking the "my channels" leads to a 500 internal server error been like this since the whole site died a couple days ago and haven't been able to get to my settings to grab my stream key since i changed my settings in OBS for twitch and when i tried to switch back the settings for streaming here they had reset.

Is there a way to link 8ch streams to cytube?

Anonymous 01/17/2021 (Sun) 12:26:59 Id: 9c2494 No. 1891

>>1889 Yes. From a channel's page, find the "Share" option (can be in different places depending on if chat is enabled or not) and there should be an iFrame Embed option. Copy that. On Cytube, there is an "Embed iFrame" option next to the Embed Media button. Paste the HTML you copied earlier and it should embed. There are some issues with scrollbars. You can fix these with CSS by disabling overflow. Might also be able to reduce the size of the embedded object a little by playing with the width and height parameters. It seems like Cytube expects a particular size and the streaming platform defaults to one slightly too large.

Anonymous 03/19/2021 (Fri) 14:16:32 Id: c8ee96 No. 2138

Just tested this earlier, there's about half a minute of delay, which is the same thing I experience on peertube instances that allow live streaming... Is there any way this can be optimized for low latency? If not, are there any other services that are?

Is it possible to get some kind of support for people who don't use Javascript? Right now all of the pages are empty. I'm not expecting to get video streaming to work, but just having a list of videos / streams / channels available and being able to browse them would be good.

Anonymous 05/27/2021 (Thu) 05:30:06 Id: 5a489b No. 2901

>>2887 The site itself is pretty reliant on JavaScript and I don't think there's a way to change that. However, you can connect to video streams via RTMP. Here's an example: Take a stream URL: https://watch.8ch.moe/view/12345/ Swap HTTP to RTMP, "view" to "live", and add the port (1935) after the domain: rtmp://watch.8ch.moe:1935/live/12345 You can drop this into VLC or some other media players to view the content directly without ever visiting the web page.

Anonymous 09/07/2021 (Tue) 01:09:20 Id: 288f2a No. 3970

OSP is such hot dogshit, please switch to something else you freaking nerds. It's borderline unusable and the site seems to choke when there's more than a couple streams at the same time. I really want to use this but in its current state there's no way around it, users can't even set stream quality and everyone's on buffer limbo unless the stream has a really low bitrate. Here's a cute watermelon doggo to grab your attention

Anonymous 09/07/2021 (Tue) 01:13:01 Id: 98fd73 No. 3971

>>3970 I'm debating a switch to PeerTube. But the underlying problem is that the site runs on a toaster, and video processing is intensive. I was planning to build a server for it this year, but I will have to wait for CPU and GPU prices to return to normal. >>3969 That was never allowed because I don't have the disk space for it. >>3968 Yes. Click on the "share" button (it's the weird one with three connected dots" and it should provide you with embed options. It's a set size and doesn't always play nicely with resizing, though.

>>3971 I'll wait patiently then, thanks for taking your time and replying. The demand for a freer Twitch-esque site is definitely there. I'll keep using it on the meantime as is but streams will have to remain 400kbps 480p.

>>3971 What about the site banner? The one you use to plug new boards and /vhs/ movie night? I see anons start streaming and not know where to advertise. There should be a script to auto advertise whoever is currently streaming. And the link to the streaming site itself is hidden. That is a common comment I get. That could be right on the front page. All in all if we aren't getting hardware support this year could we at least get some ad support? Help get the streams out there.

I've been debating getting some better hardware but was hoping prices would come down by now. I'll probably update the software as a stopgap. Maybe next year GPUs will be affordable again and I can really invest.

>>4260 If you use letsencrypt: 1. Find the certificate name, "sudo certbot certificates" (it will just be watch.8ch.moe unless you have the subdomain included with the main cert for 8ch.moe) 2. Create a renewal hook file in /etc/letsencrypt/renewal-hooks/deploy/watch.8ch.moe.pem:

#!/bin/bash
CERT_NAME="watch.8ch.moe" #certificate name
[[ $RENEWED_LINEAGE != "/etc/letsencrypt/live/$CERT_NAME" ]] && exit 0; #only continue for the specific certificate name
sudo systemctl restart nginx #or whatever your web server is

You can customize it to suit your needs quite easily.

>>4265 I already have a script covering it. Seems like the certs are renewing themselves just fine. The software relies on a custom build of nginx that sometimes requires fiddling with. I've hopefully got it working now. We'll see if the cronjob fails again in a few months.

Ok, none of this makes any sense to me. The address does nothing, not even with the stream key, and none of the options in the channel page, even on the gear tab, say "start streaming" or "go to room" or whatever. I don't understand how to start the stream, even get the room going, so I can't test to see if it works. A step by step guide would be appreciated. I got OBS up and running, but that's it.

>>4358 It might be anons streaming at more than 3500 bitrate. An anon was streaming at 10k and when he lowered it, it started working for me. It doesn't affect everyone but their was another anon in the stream that had the same issue as me. My internet should be good enough for that at least at this time of day I can watch 4k youtube. Just a uninformed guess but maybe streaming above the 3500 cap breaks something in some way. I've got the most recent updates for windows 10, browsers and everything needed for a PC.

>>4408 No, the toaster doesn't have enough disk space available for everyone to get an allocation. Additionally, having only streams means everything is ephemeral, which is probably more appropriate for an imageboard streaming service. I won't say it will never be an option, but it's going to require a massive hardware upgrade. I'm tentatively planning to throw money at it in the next year. Maybe when Zen 4 drops?

Software Upgrade Completed The site is now on the latest stable release. There have been a bunch of stability improvements, bug fixes, and changes that affect the API and server-side configuration. On the user-facing side, the two big features are Reactions/Emotes/"Stickers" in chat and guests can now name themselves similar to Cytube. I will accept submission for global reactions. Additionally, they can be set per-channel under Channels -> Select a channel -> Chat (speech bubble icon) -> Chat Stickers. You can also selectively disable guests joining, or picking their own names, from this menu.

I know the update has been mega-delayed. Fixing it turned into a bigger ordeal than expected. I've opted to scrap it (for now) since there's a 0.9 release coming soon. Additionally, I'm looking at options for a server upgrade, and expect to launch within the next six months. I might hold out for a 1.0 release and a hardware refresh, which should occur within the next six months.

Two suggestions. Hyperlinks for links posted in chat so we don't need to highlight and open in new tab, and highlighting your username if someone says it so its easier to see if someone is trying to get your attention.

News about Ryzen 7000 dropped today. They're still targeting Fall 2022, but there's no specific date. Hardware upgrade is on schedule. >>5480 Same as above, I'd like to see these features. My first priority is the hardware (and software) upgrade and then I will look into UI improvements.

Another suggestion. When the streams buffer the selected volume is reset to max, often this can be deafening. I'd like for it to save the last set volume if it buffers.

Some one, whether themselves or a bot, was spamming the chat during the Xbox stream: https://watch.8ch.moe/view/26985367-f948-4c5a-8da9-bc85a4cdb21d/ Could there be better tolls to prevent this?

Can we have private mode? unindexed streams?
