Going Live from your Browser without WebRTC
summary
Proposes a hacky pipeline that captures camera and mic with getUserMedia + MediaRecorder, sends recorded chunks over a WebSocket to ffmpeg on a server, and pushes RTMP to Mux or any RTMP endpoint for delivery as HLS. Notes server involvement is unavoidable, headless Chrome scaling is costly, and a Glitch demo shows the approach actually works pretty well despite being fragile. Claims: practical, simple to implement, but limited in scale.
