Not sure if I broke something, but i'm having issues registering users.

➜ boltstream git:(master) ✗ python3 manage.py createsuperuser Username: Error: This field cannot be blank. Username: admin
CommandError: “admin” is not a valid UUID. ➜ boltstream git:(master) ✗

Is there something special missing?

One of the tasks for setup is to copy ansible/roles/app/files/app.env to /.env, however this file has been excluded in gitignore and isn't present in the repo.

I'm guessing this file interpolates the variables from the terraform config for the app (e.g. database host).

Can you please provide this file?

I tried to reverse engineer it, and ended up with the below but I might have missed stuff (in mine I've changed from MariaDB to Postgres):

SECRET_KEY=debug
DATABASE_URL=postgresql://{{ database_user }}:{{ database_password }}@{{ database_host }}:{{ database_port }}/{{ database_name }}
CACHE_URL={{ cache_url }}
BROKER_URL={{ broker_url }}
AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME={{ aws_storage_bucket_name }}
AWS_S3_CUSTOM_DOMAIN={{ aws_s3_custom_domain }}
AWS_S3_REGION_NAME={{ aws_s3_region_name }}
AWS_S3_ENDPOINT_URL={{ aws_s3_endpoint_url }}
RTMP_SECRET={{ rtmp_secret }}
RTMP_ENDPOINT={{ rtmp_endpoint }}
EXPIRE_VIEWER_SECONDS=60
SESSION_COOKIE_DOMAIN=domain
CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS=domain
PORT=8083

Is there a sign-up? I can't "stream now" on demo or my local installation because it keeps going into a sign-in loop. The superuser admin account doesn't work (loop) and I can't create a regular user (missing sign-up).

Pretty self explanatory. I haven't seen any self-hosted streaming solutions that could take $-contributions from the audience. Do you know of any or have plans on payment gateway connections for boltstream? Thanks! :)

Hey Ben!

Love what you're doing here. I tried to reach out on Twitter and never heard back, so I'm trying here instead.

I recently started a newsletter about open source software and I like to put an interview with one of the developers in each email if I can get it. Would you be interested in answering a few questions about software development and boltstream?

This might be an question with an obvious answer, but over the whole pandemic I’ve been searching for video sharing services with one goal:

To get the viewers as in-sync as possible.

Vynchronize has been really decent, as has BigScreen on the Quest. There have been dozens and dozens of potential solutions that have ended up in the nevermind pile just due to not getting this right (even Plex, which was stunning to me).

One of the bigger issues of course is how wildly latency can vary from server to client. Linear video is uniquely suited to this since you can have a large buffer and just sync periodically (say, at key frames), but it also clearly requires specific thought and work around making that happen.

Functionality like: -Watching video without echo while also being on a phone call together (or video chat on a separate device) -Pausing the video to talk about it -Rewinding to review (normally less than 60s) -Rewinding to let someone catch up (they lost the video, or had something come up) (5-20 min normally, but could be arbitrarily anywhere in the video)

Are all things that come up across social usage scenarios like virtual classrooms, study sessions, movie watching, or even business presentations

• Fix looking up by natural key when creating a Django superuser
• Add instructions to the README on how to run the Django app locally
• Add default initial data with a django superuser (boltstream/boltstream) for testing

Not sure if it's because I'm using the development server but after I create a live stream I get the following message when I try to view test the stream, "The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported."

I get the following error in the terminal:

Hello , Would it be possible to redo the installation tutorial but with the new update. After installation it seems to have a lot of information that have changed or even missing. I also can't run the docker version.

Thanks :D
