C++ HLS streaming server built with oat++ zero-dependency framework. (about oat++ see: https://github.com/oatpp/oatpp)

Features:

- Serve embedded video

- Serve HLS stream

This looks great! Also, nice to see some modern Cmake in the wild ;)

This is actually pretty cool, very little boilerplate it seems. Nicely done.

Thank you, I appreciate your feedback!

will you be able to use OBS to point it to the server in the future?

Thank you for the question,

As far as I can see - it should be possible. In any case additional tweaks should be made to this example.

I did something similar as a proof-of-concept in Rust. Might be of interest to some people.

With C++ metaprogramming as powerful as it is, why are macros (or what I presume to be macros) in the class body still necessary? It reminds me a bit of 1990s MFC, and not in a good way.

Usually the reason is that there are still a few cases where macros win, hence the ongoing proposals for compile time reflection for code generation.

As for MFC, 2018s MFC looks pretty much like 1990s MFC, for those not willing to adopt .NET or UWP.

there is one thing that templates cannot do, and that is transform an identifier into a string.

Some kind of c++ conference happening today? Lots of c++ submissions!
