I want to stream with OBS to a service that let's me password protect my videos (by default) AND archive them for a while.
Twitch was like this.
I could put a channel password and it archived my videos. But that's gone.
> Why
I have a few cameras at home. But they all record the video through my machine. If there is a thief, the laptop will disappear with all the videos - making this crap entirely useless.
> Why not use Dropbox/whatever
Unless the file is written out just in time, it's useless. Dropbox starts to upload once you have the file ready for example. OBS does not even allow for this sort of "splitting"/"splicing".
> Why not save to network location
I don't think OBS would behave properly if I saved stuff on a network drive attached (remote location). What if my upload speed goes down? What if the file just gets corrupted?
tl;dr: Stream would have the latest moments - the most crucial ones.
You can segment live inputs using ffmpeg. So any file hosting service is usuable.

> repeating digits
Yeah but how small would I have to split it to have the time to upload before the thief yanks the laptop out of power/shuts it off?
That time window is tiny...
Web dev here, I can make one for you for 100$ in bitcoin

Can be as little as 1 second really. Probably even less.

Option "segment_time"
Can you just buy a raspi or something, that you can hide in the house and save the videos on that

quality.
how comes vfwcap simply needed a number for the device and the new dshow just sucks more?

well what if they have time to look around.
it's not that simple sadly.
a stream would simply end abruptly if they steal the machine/camera, whatever.

stream it publicly

>> have to use 1:1 name of webcam
The command get available devices is right there in the dshow guide
>ffmpeg -list_devices true -f dshow -i dummy

You can set up a streaming server pretty easily with nginx. Put it on a cheap vps or rasberry and you're good

The problem with that the stream would just go dead, and it would not archive it. Twitch basically kept your video files for 7 or 30 days, and it also just "finished" the video file when you stopped streaming.
Exactly what I would need.

Tried the alternative name, but gave me an error. Modified the "Friendly Name" in regedit, nothing changed in the list command.

You probably MAYBE could try Picarto
I know they have pw protected streams
but idk how you can classify the stream

Thanks, looks nice/promising.
Sad that there is no trial though.
