Mux, Fly, Wocket and RTMP

What's this blog post about?

Wocket is a proof-of-concept application that demonstrates how to stream live video from your browser to an RTMP server. It uses Next.js and a custom server with WebSockets. The project aims to showcase the possibility of streaming without using traditional encoder software like OBS or Ecamm Live. Wocket utilizes Mux's live streaming API, which provides an on-demand RTMP server for streaming purposes. To run the application locally, users need to install ffmpeg and have it in their $PATH. The project is a fun proof-of-concept and not intended for production use.
