Streaming video over a local network using SplitCam’s built-in features

I really like SplitCam, but the lack of local network streaming forces me to use OBS instead.
It’d be awesome if SplitCam had built-in support for things like UDP, RTP, HLS, MPEG-DASH, RTMP, RTSP, WebRTC, or SRT right out of the box.
That way we wouldn’t need to mess around with extra workarounds. Thanks a lot

Can you please explain what functionality you need? You can stream anywhere you want with SplitCam...

Sorry for the long pause in my reply.
Of course — let me give you an example from my own experience; that’ll make it easier to understand what the user is asking for. =)

For instance, I want to stream a feed from my PC to my TV box. There are plenty of apps on it that can receive streaming broadcasts via unicast and multicast.

For example, I can’t send a stream from SplitCam over my local network to
udp://224.0.0.1:9999?pkt_size=1316
and then receive that stream on the TV box as
udp://@:9999.

Also, there are no settings to choose the audio/video codecs or output formats for this kind of stream.

Unfortunately, there’s been a trend lately where software developers seem to forget that local network streaming exists, not just online streaming.

For example, I need to use interactive demo materials for my students at school — and we all know how “well” public schools are funded. So, we make do with what we have. SplitCam actually has great tools, but because it lacks (or maybe I just don’t know how to use) the option to broadcast over the local network (unicast and multicast.), I have to first capture the SplitCam virtual camera in OBS, and then stream it from OBS to the local network… which ends up being a bit of an overcomplicated workaround. =)
