[DATA EXPUNGED]
Mr. Funk E. Dude

@dansup 2 questions...
First, what's the resolution going to be?

Second, when's the release date?

dansup

@Mrfunkedude 720p.

Android - Will release APK tomorrow

iOS - Testflight next week

After a week of testing and bug fixes we'll publish on the app stores.

The :pixelfed: backend is ready and I have been testing on my staging instance all week!

Mr. Funk E. Dude

@dansup Will it allow you to auto post that you're live on services like Mastodon? It would be a great way to get Pixelfed more attention.

I'm really looking forward to this.

dansup

@Mrfunkedude Yeah! Also we'll support both public and private/follower-only broadcasts, so anyone will be able to view the public streams with a easy to remember url (ex: pixelfed.test/dansup/live )

Mr. Funk E. Dude

@dansup will there be access to rtmp settings or will this strictly be a stand alone app?

dansup

@Mrfunkedude Which settings do you have in mind? It is a stand alone app, do you mean broadcast from OBS or another non-app source?

Mr. Funk E. Dude

@dansup yes that.

Also, will there be a chat or comment viewable to the broadcaster?

Sorry if I'm getting ahead. Like I said, I'm just excited for this.

dansup

@Mrfunkedude Nope to OBS support, I explained it here mastodon.social/@dansup/108525

Yes, live comments are on the roadmap! As the broadcaster you'll be able to post/pin and moderate comments.

As Dansup notes, Owncast does desktop livestreaming really well, worth checking out if you want a Twitch style broadcast. (I think it supports OBS too).

You can follow Owncast accounts from Mastodon etc so they let you know in the timeline when they go live.

@dansup This looks really cool! Facebook should be scared =-O

Does it also have filters and an API for designers? This would be next level

dansup

@farshidhakimy Filters are on the roadmap, along with an api for user generated filters!

@dansup so excited for the app release. This is incredible. Is there a beta version we can install and test?

@dansup
I'm excited for the iOS app! I can finally get people to switch over from Instagram since most everyone I know has an apple device.
