State of KVCMTV

We'll need to have much stricter content guidelines, especially when it comes to copyright due to automated takedown systems. I'd also like to have subtitles for the pre-recorded content, the computer can generate this but the submitter should go over them to make sure that everything is accurate and fix any mistakes. We should also have a content rating system.

I've started working on all of the above, but no clue how long it will take to get everything up.

As for software, I'm testing various playout systems: FFPlayout, Nebula Broadcast, Sofie, CasparCG, and whatever else I happen to come across.

OBS cannot handle this, as it's basically just a vision mixer. We can use it to send out the final feed though, just like we are with the radio.

In addition to the above, of course, we'll need to make a website. We'll also need to get a server because of residential bandwidth limitations. I don't know how powerful the server needs to be, because I cannot test something that I do not have access to.

There's a lot of infrastructure to build, and it's not purely technical. Certainly not something I can handle on my own.

I think it would be better to use what budget we have (if any) on perfecting the radio station, a new piece of software called Crazy Arms seems like it would be perfect for running kvcm.live.
