DistroAV

DistroAV (formerly OBS-NDI): NDI integration for OBS Studio

DistroAV is an open-source integration plugin for OBS Studio that provides Network Device Interface (NDI) support so users can send and receive live audio and video over IP networks directly within OBS, formerly known as the OBS-NDI project before being renamed.

DistroAV’s development community focuses on maintaining compatibility with the latest OBS releases and NDI v6 tooling while addressing bugs and extending feature requests.

Stremio

Stremio - Freedom to Stream

Stremio is the browser application that delivers Stremio’s “Freedom to Stream” experience entirely on the web. It consumes stremio-core (compiled to WebAssembly) and renders the product surfaces you recognize: Board for personalized updates, Discover for browsing catalogs, and Meta Details for titles, seasons, and streams. The app is built with JavaScript/TypeScript and a conventional web toolchain, offering simple commands for local development, testing, and production builds. It manages add-on installation and configuration in-app, letting users combine official and community sources without leaving the UI. Playback hooks into the stream types exposed by add-ons and the core’s selection logic, with UI affordances for choosing sources, subtitles, and quality. Because the heavy business logic lives in the core, the web app stays focused on UX, routing, accessibility, localization, and smooth state transitions between pages.

PeerTube

Video streaming platform using P2P directly in your web browser

PeerTube, developed by Framasoft, is the free and decentralized alternative to video platforms, providing you over 400,000 videos published by 60,000 users and viewed over 15 million times. Our aim is not to replace them, but rather to simultaneously offer something else, with different values. PeerTube is not meant to become a huge platform that would centralize videos from all around the world. Rather, it is a network of inter-connected small videos hosters. Anyone with a modicum of technical skills can host a PeerTube server, aka an instance. Each instance hosts its users and their videos. In this way, every instance is created, moderated and maintained independently by various administrators. You can still watch from your account videos hosted by other instances though if the administrator of your instance had previously connected it with other instances. And there's more! PeerTube uses ActivityPub, a federating protocol that allows you to interact with other software.

Twitch Drops Miner

An app that allows you to AFK mine timed Twitch drops

TwitchDropsMiner is a desktop application that automates earning timed Twitch Drops by simulating “watch” activity without actually streaming video, letting users collect rewards while saving bandwidth and attention. It works by periodically fetching stream metadata to advance Drops progress, while maintaining a websocket connection to monitor which channels are online, offline, or changing status. The app is designed to reduce manual babysitting by switching channels automatically when a stream goes offline or when a higher-priority opportunity becomes available. It supports prioritisation logic, including game priority and exclusion lists, so users can focus on specific campaigns and avoid unwanted categories. The tool also discovers new drop campaigns based on linked accounts and validates streams using tags and campaign checks to avoid wasting time watching streams that cannot earn rewards.

Riemann

A network event stream processing system, in Clojure

Riemann aggregates events from your servers and applications with a powerful stream processing language. Send an email for every exception in your app. Track the latency distribution of your web app. See the top processes on any host, by memory and CPU. Combine statistics from every Riak node in your cluster and forward to Graphite. Track user activity from second to second. Riemann streams are just functions which accept an event. Events are just structs with some common fields like :host and :service You can use dozens of built-in streams for filtering, altering, and combining events, or write your own. Since Riemann's configuration is a Clojure program, its syntax is concise, regular, and extendable. Configuration-as-code minimizes boilerplate and gives you the flexibility to adapt to complex situations.

tv.js

Apple TV for Torrent Streaming in JS (Node/Chrome)

It was built as a 24-hour hackathon project and is designed to run as a server with a browser-based front end. The app can run on a Raspberry Pi connected to a television through HDMI. Its interface can be controlled from a smartphone, so users do not need a keyboard or mouse in the living room. The project originally combined movie lookup, torrent search, BitTorrent streaming, and video conversion into one prototype. Because it deals with torrent-based media access, it should only be used with content the user is legally allowed to stream.
