python-ffmpeg-youtube-live

Simple code to stream from a python program using opencv to Youtube Live using ffmpeg

• Run with: python capture.py <video path/camera device> <YOUTUBE_KEY>

• The python code streams to stdout buffer, which ffmpeg reads in as a pipe input.

• Change the ffmpeg parameters in the program to suit your requirements

• The -f lavfi -i anullsrc -acodec libmp3lame -ar 44100 adds dummy audio to be able to stream to YouTube Live.

• Pipe breaks without the cv2.imencode. I don't fully understand why
