# MP4 Streamer for Twitch, YouTube, and Kick
[](https://github.com/sponsors/simeononsecurity)
This Docker container allows you to stream MP4 and MKV files directly to Twitch.tv, YouTube, and Kick (or a similar platform) using `ffmpeg`. It supports streaming the files in the specified directory once or looping indefinitely.
## Usage
1. **Build the Docker image:**
```bash
docker build -t mp4-streamer .
```
2. **Run the Docker container with looping:**
To stream your MP4 files in a continuous loop, you can set the `LOOP_INDEFINITELY` environment variable to `true`.
```bash
docker run -td --restart unless-stopped -v /path/to/mp4/files:/videos -e TWITCH_STREAM_KEY= -e YOUTUBE_STREAM_KEY= -e KICK_STREAM_URL= -e KICK_STREAM_KEY= -e VIDEO_DIR=/videos -e LOOP_INDEFINITELY=true mp4-streamer
```
For a single run through your MP4 files without looping, omit the `LOOP_INDEFINITELY` variable or set it to `false`.
```bash
docker run -td --restart unless-stopped -v /path/to/mp4/files:/videos -e TWITCH_STREAM_KEY= -e YOUTUBE_STREAM_KEY= -e KICK_STREAM_URL= -e KICK_STREAM_KEY= -e VIDEO_DIR=/videos mp4-streamer
```
Replace `/path/to/mp4/files` with the directory path containing your MP4 files, ``, ``, ``, and `` with your respective streaming credentials.
3. **Streaming Options:**
- **MP4 Files:** Mount your directory containing MP4 files to `/videos` in the container.
- **Twitch Stream Key:** Set your Twitch stream key as an environment variable `TWITCH_STREAM_KEY`.
- **YouTube Stream Key:** Set your YouTube stream key as an environment variable `YOUTUBE_STREAM_KEY`.
- **Kick Stream URL and Key:** Set your Kick stream URL and key as environment variables `KICK_STREAM_URL` and `KICK_STREAM_KEY`, respectively.
- **Loop Indefinitely:** Optionally, set `LOOP_INDEFINITELY=true` to loop through the video files indefinitely. Default behavior is a single run without looping.
## Dockerfile Details
- Based on Ubuntu latest image.
- Installs `ffmpeg` and other necessary dependencies for streaming.
- Utilizes a custom script `stream_videos.sh` as the entrypoint to facilitate streaming to Twitch, YouTube, and Kick using `ffmpeg`. This script supports looping through the MP4 files indefinitely or streaming them once based on the `LOOP_INDEFINITELY` environment variable.
