browserless mediamtx source support

[fragtion]

The mediamtx support is a really awesome feature

I'm just not sure how to send a stream from OBS directly to a room that is configured for mediamtx. It only seems to be possible using the virtual webcam approach (the way it seems to be working right now is that viewers can only see streams published by other users via the browser)?

This is obviously not a massivly big deal as it can be easily worked around using a virtual webcam, but that requires an extra layer of configuration, processing, etc

I tried using &view= , but vdo ninja didn't forward that request over to the mediamtx server... It only seems to forward requests for users who've started a webcam or desktop sharing session via the web browser

Is this just a limitation of the mediamtx integration at this time, or is there a special way to get this sort of streaming configuration working?

Also, a potential issue: vdoninja should be publishing and requesting the mediamtx streams via the channelID/streamID path, but seems to be disregarding the channelID prefix and is instead publishing straight to the streamID. This seems to be contrary to what the documentation states should be happening (channelID/streamID is arguably a better approach IMO)

If vdo ninja uses the proper path (channelID/streamID), then why not remove the restriction that only allows browser-initiated streams to be played back? We can assume that the whole channelID/* realm on mediamtx is dedicated for vdoninja, and then anyone who streams to that channelID path should be able to be viewed via the vdo ninja channel using &view=streamID, even if that whip stream is being fed directly from OBS to MediaMTX

Otherwise, a safer alternative could be if the director can define a custom streamable channelID(s), which can then be streamed to from OBS and seen by other viewers (in addition to the fully-automated way it is now)?

Thank you!

Update: I just found out about https://vdo.ninja/whip , particularly the "Play Stream" function. What a gem !! This basically solves my problem.
Could still be cool to be able to stream to a room directly from OBS, but I realize that may not be as simple as it seems
@steveseguin you are the 🐐!!😁
