Everyone says you shouldn't stream video over nostr events, but has anyone actually tried it? Well, now I have at least.
nvid is a proof-of-concept video streaming site which sends everything over a single relay (hardcoded right now to bucket, so please forgive me for denial-of-servicing myself). Check out my stream here:
