Current capabilities:
- Boots up a full-stack Livepeer experience on your laptop with a single command.
- Facilitates easy development of various components of the Livepeer stack.
- Allows for development of applications against the Livepeer Studio API locally that can then transfer to the hosted version at livepeer.studio when you’re ready to go to production.
- Bundles a fully-local offchain go-livepeer broadcaster and orchestrator, so that you may test transcoding with no external dependencie.s
Current limitations:
- There is no way to allow for easy deployment to a server. There are presently
many hardcoded references to
localhost, and these things will break in any other environment. - No usage or billing data.
- No GPU transcoding support. We recommend using very low-bitrate test files, especially if running the box using Docker for Mac or Docker for Windows. The built-in profiles for livestream transcoding use a single 240p low-quality rendition.
- It is currently required to run the node as a Docker image. A single-binary fully-static build is in the works.
