I'd like to show a Linux installation process in real-time, by broadcasting a video (a livestream like the ones you can see on twitch.tv and other similar sites).
I know it's possible to take screenshots and record videos of the framebuffer and event that there are existing tools for the former.
Now from what I understand it should be possible because it's just like broadcasting a video from X11 but with a different FFMPEG backend, but I may be wrong.
I'd like to know if:
- There's any reason why this shouldn't be possible
- There's an existing tool for this or any other solution that would not require me to drop down to a low-level language (for example, a way to do it using a shell script), so far I haven't found anything.
ffmpeg
can record and broadcast the framebuffer via fbdev, but how would you intend to run it on the same machine you are installing the OS to?
