ffmpeg \
    -i "$SOURCE" -deinterlace \
    -vcodec libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p -preset $QUAL -r $FPS -g $(($FPS * 2)) -b:v $VBR \
    -acodec libmp3lame -ar 44100 -threads 6 -qscale 3 -b:a 712000 -bufsize 512k \
    -f flv "$YOUTUBE_URL/$KEY"

is it possible to set my source as another live video? eg: live video url from Facebook something like https://www.facebook.com/groupname/videos/590993838218530/

Interested by any answer too, I tried with piping from youtube-dl with no luck.

im here looking for answers too, im currently trying to write code using FFMPEG & youtube-dl, and i seem to have that part ok, but i really want to stream from a URL like @bentech4u wants to do also.. hopefully someone in this community can figure it out. best of luck all.

Please how can I stream a website URL (like an ongoing video conference url ) to youtube using FFmpeg

@faraamcode you could (if supported) first get the feed down via streamlink, then pipe it into ffmpeg.

@bentech4u Copy M3U8 from facebook live thats all also if both video , audio streams are libx264, aac respectively then no need for re-encoding stream to youtube rtmp

if not then you need to encode codecs suggested by youtube

damn man why the hell you reported my question 🤨🤨

It can be as simple as ffmpeg -i "<YOUR_SOURCE>" -f flv "rtmp://a.rtmp.youtube.com/live2/<YOUR_STREAM_KEY>"

The other stuff just adds extra control. You may or may not need it depending on your needs.
