At https://fosdem.org , we are using the nginx rtmp module intensively. It seems it is becoming a de facto standard when an in-house streaming server is preferred, as opposed to an external streaming platform. It combines excellently with ffmpeg, the recently pacakged voctomix and several components of the gstreamer framework, to create an excellent FOSS video streaming stack. Some debconf video people too seem to be interested... I've watched upstream nginx development for a bit. Dynamically loaded modules are supported since 1.9.11, but separate module compilation doesn't look like it is going to happen anytime soon. Would you be willing to temporarily reconsider the ban on the inclusion of a small set of new nginx modules into Debian until this situation changes? If it helps, it seems like at least the rtmp module could be done as a dynamically loaded module at least... https://www.nginx.com/resources/wiki/extending/converting/ https://www.nginx.com/blog/dynamic-modules-development/ Thank you for your work on Debian!
