In short, this doesn't actually have anything to do with Owncast. I can't speak to the specifics of your setup, but as long as you can get RTMP in some way you can stream. It sounds like you'll need to find a way to ingest WebRTC and send out RTMP. You'll need to do this outside of Owncast, from the broadcasting side. Not from the Owncast side. |

You shouldn't need Owncast for this, unless your goal is to either have the webcam image be a part of the owncast webpage or for it to be the actual stream you are serving. Documentation from mainsail Once you have your cams setup in mainsail to have an RTMP url all you would need to do is get NGINX to reverse proxy either a port or url to the cam stream as opposed to the Owncast port. |

Hello!
I've been searching around for a while now and not finding anyone with a similar use-case. I have a 3D printer and occasionally print things for friends, sometimes they like to check on the status of their print or whatnot. I currently have the printer running Mainsail with Crowsnest displaying a USB cam using webrtc. I wanted to use Owncast to simply host/pass-through the existing webrtc stream and then pass it through nginx to expose it.
I feel like I'm misunderstanding the fundamentals on how owncast works. I know I could use obs but I'm running the printer off a headless rpi, so I have no UI to work with. I've tried with ffmpeg but alas the camera is busy since its already being used by crowsnest. Is there any way I could make this work? Am I barking up the wrong tree?
Thanks!
