-Goals:
-- Reassure people that they're in the right stream for the talk that they're looking for
-- Direct them to the pad and Q&A for the talk
-
-What to show in between talks:
-- Previous talk: title, speaker, pronouns, talk page, Q&A information (if still live)
-- Next talk: title, speaker, pronouns, talk page, Q&A information, countdown

-
-- Good: Static image, maybe created with LaTeX
-- Better: Video with unobtrusive sound so people can doublecheck that their audio works
-- Best: Emacs thing so that we can have a dynamic timer and last-minute announcements, and so that it's Emacs =)
-- Even better than that: A compact view that can be overlaid on the Q&A session using OBS
-
-See break commercials
-https://www.collabmagazine.com/organizing-a-multi-track-virtual-conference-with-microsoft-teams-live-events-a-technical-playbook-and-lessons-learned/
-
-OBS scenes (maybe?):
-
-- splash-screen when we’re on break
-- scene when broadcasting a talk (where we might want a logo and a bar or surrounding to broadcast messages like time left in
- recording); and
-- Q&A scene with host-webcam, optional speaker-webcam, and pad with questions.
-- Q&A scene focusing on shared screen from speaker
-- Q&A scene with IRC and pad
-
-Nothing is urgent, blocking it, or being blocked by it, so you can
-play around with ideas.
-
-We're experimenting with two tracks this year, so we expect that some
-people will join midway through a talk or Q&A session and
-would like to reorient themselves. Some Q&A sessions may end
-early, so we would like to reassure people that they're in
-the right spot for the next talk. Most Q&As will be done
-live, but some Q&As will be done over IRC, so we need to
-point people to the right place.
-
-and if there's room for a little extra info like public e-mail
-addresses or pronouns, that can help people when they discuss
-things. That info will be in the pad and IRC, though, so it's
-also okay to omit it
-
-
-
-We can programmatically replace strings in
-SVG from Emacs, so we can easily use that as an overlay.
-
-
-<zaeph> …Or, if you just want to focus on the look of
-things, we can think of the content on our own.
-
-<sachac> oh yeah, totally, you can just focus on the design and use
-placeholder text
-
-Overlay considerations:
-- talk videos will likely have subtitles; no subtitles for Q&A
-- zaeph doesn't like vertical text

+ the username that you would like to log in with.
+2. Create and backup your certificate. (This is part of the wizard for
+ the desktop client, and it might be automatic on a phone client.)
+3. Connect to mumble.emacsconf.org with your desired username.
+4. Register your account on the server using the ~Self > Register~
+ command. This reserves your username using your certificate and
+ allows me to add you to ACLs.
+5. Let me know (sachac on #emacsconf-org in IRC or
+ sacha@sachachua.com) when you've registered so that I can add you
+ to the access control lists for the private channels. If I'm around
+ on mumble (sachac), you can say hi to me there and confirm that
+ it's working.
-Large and medium might do better on a system with a GPU. I'll default to the small model for now.
+You can enter a channel by double-clicking on it. (On Mumla for
+Android, entering a channel is instead done by clicking on the arrow
+to the right of the channel.) Then your audio will go to that channel,
+and you can hear audio from that channel. We can use the
+~emacsconf-gen~ and ~emacsconf-dev~ channels to speak on air, and we
+can use the ~backstage~ channel for coordination.

-Hi ${name}!
-
-Thank you for volunteering to help with the captions for ${conf-name}
-${year}! Last year, we were able to get almost all the talks captioned
-in time for streaming. Participants found them very useful for
-understanding different technical terms, names, accents, and so on.
-We'd love to be able to pull that off again this year, and it would be
-great to have you on board.
-
-We've set up ${backstage} as the backstage area where you can view the
-videos and resources uploaded so far. You can access it with the
-username "${backstage-user}" and the password "${backstage-password}".
-Please keep the backstage password and resources secret. If you see a
-talk that you'd like to caption, you can e-mail me at
-sacha@sachachua.com and I can reserve it for you. Then you can correct
-any misrecognized words, fix capitalizations, remove filler words as
-needed, and so on.
-
-You'll probably want to work with either the VTT or the TXT versions
-(VTT is WebVTT format and has timestamps), but you can check the other
-talk resources in case the speaker has posted scripts or other useful
-things. Both VTT and TXT are plain text, so feel free to use your
-favourite text or subtitle editor. I've posted a brief demo of how I
-edit captions at
-https://media.emacsconf.org/2022/backstage/editing-captions.html , and
-you can find more captioning tips at https://emacsconf.org/captioning/
-. You can convert it to whatever format you like. If you prefer to
-work with plain text, we can figure out the timestamps afterwards.
-
-Let me know if you want to reserve a talk for captioning or if you have
-any questions or suggestions. We're also in the #emacsconf-org channel
-on the libera.chat IRC network, which you can connect to with your
-favourite IRC client or through the web-based interface at
-https://chat.emacsconf.org/ .

-
-Current status:
-
-- res.emacsconf.org seems to be able to handle 2x (OBS + TigerVNC + MPV, should test with Firefox as well)
-- corwin and jman will stream gen from OBS on res
-- bandali will stream dev from his laptop
-- let sachac know if you want manual control or more autopilot for the gen stream
-
-Goals:
-
-- [X] Be able to start a VNC server with OBS, MPV, and Firefox, connect to it, and stream
-- [X] Have another session with the sound isolated
-- [-] Split the audio so that we can join the Q&A room before the MPV ends - handled by automatic scene switcher detecting mpv, but we can't share just a window, so we might as well just wait
-- [X] Control MPV from the commandline: track-mpv appears in the correct display, and it can also be controlled via the socket like this: echo '{ "command": ["loadfile", "test2.webm"] }' | socat - ~/mpv-socket-emacsconf-dev
-- [ ] Share the window instead of the desktop?
-
-Prerequisites:
-
-- You need to be able to SSH out to res.emacsconf.org on port 46668
- and forward ports, so one of the main organizers needs to add your
- SSH public key to the authorized_keys file. Please e-mail your SSH
- public key to sacha@sachachua.com and test that port 46668 is not
- blocked.
-- For streaming from OBS in VNC, you will need a VNC viewer like
- tigervnc-viewer.
-- For streaming from your local computer, you will need OBS and FFmpeg.
-
-During the conference, you will:
-
-- play the talk video (unless it's automatically managed by the agenda) and update the overlays
-- display intro/intermission information as needed
-- open the Q&A windows, like the pad and the BBB room/IRC (unless it's automatically managed by the agenda)
-- adjust the volume if needed
-- arrange windows and focus the BBB room on the speaker's webcam if needed
-- if you like, you can be responsible for managing the track from conf.org on orga@res.emacsconf.org
-
-Dry run checklist:
-
-- [ ] Connect to the server
- ssh orga@res.emacsconf.org -p 46668
- emacsconf # runs emacsclient -c -a emacs
-- [ ] Forward ports and connect via VNC
-- [ ] Find the OBS or start it if it is not running
-- [ ] Start recording
-- [ ] Play a video
-- [ ] Open two Firefox windows and arrange them
-- [ ] Manage windows on the workspace
-- [ ] Adjust the volume in OBS
-- [ ] SSH to the server and play a video off-screen
-- [ ] SSH to the server with X forwarding and adjust the volume off-screen
-
-*** Broadcasting from local OBS (option A)
- - You can copy the profile from your track or look inside it for the icecast mount point details:
-
- - Gen: rsync -avze 'ssh -p 46668' emacsconf-gen@res.emacsconf.org:~/.config/obs-studio/basic/profiles/ ~/.config/obs-studio/basic/profiles/
- - Dev: rsync -avze 'ssh -p 46668' emacsconf-dev@res.emacsconf.org:~/.config/obs-studio/basic/profiles/ ~/.config/obs-studio/basic/profiles/
-
- - Sacha will turn off the OBS recordings on res so that you can test streaming from your computer
- - If you're doing this independently, you can jump ahead to "Connecting to VNC" in order to stop the recording yourself
-
- - Verify with MPV:
- #+begin_example
- mpv https://live0.emacsconf.org/emacsconf/gen.webm
- mpv https://live0.emacsconf.org/emacsconf/dev.webm
- #+end_example
-
- - With luck, the 480p streams will be up automatically as well
- #+begin_example
- mpv https://live0.emacsconf.org/emacsconf/gen-480p.webm
- mpv https://live0.emacsconf.org/emacsconf/dev-480p.webm
- #+end_example
-
-*** Connecting to VNC (option B)
-
- 1. Stop broadcasting locally if you were testing local OBS.
-
- 2. Install a VNC viewer on your system (ex: tigervnc-viewer).
-
- 3. Set up your local environment:
-
- - gen: export TRACK=gen; export TRACK_PORT=5905; export SSH_PORT=46668
- - dev: export TRACK=dev; export TRACK_PORT=5906; export SSH_PORT=46668
-
- 4. Copy the password:
-
- scp emacsconf-$TRACK@res.emacsconf.org:~/.vnc/passwd vnc-passwd-$TRACK -p $SSH_PORT
-
- 5. Forward your local ports and connect via VNC viewer to the
- appropriate forwarded port from your laptop:
-
- #+begin_example
- ssh emacsconf-$TRACK@res.emacsconf.org -N -L $TRACK_PORT:127.0.0.1:$TRACK_PORT -p $SSH_PORT &
- sleep 5 # Give it time to establish the tunnels
- xvncviewer 127.0.0.1:$TRACK_PORT -shared -geometry 1280x720 -passwd vnc-passwd-$TRACK &
- #+end_example
-
- (If this doesn't find a VNC server to connect to, you can start it with ~ssh emacsconf-$TRACK@res.emacsconf.org -p $SSH_PORT /home/emacsconf-$TRACK/bin/track-vnc~)
-
- 6. Start *recording* (not streaming). If you don't see OBS when you connect, it's probably on workspace 2, so you can switch with Alt-2. If you still don't see it there, you can open a terminal with Alt-Enter and then run ~track-obs~. After you start recording, confirm that it is now broadcasting to the stream.
-
- 7. Verify with MPV on your local system:
- #+begin_example
- mpv https://live0.emacsconf.org/emacsconf/$TRACK.webm &
- #+end_example
-
- 8. With luck, the 480p streams will be up automatically as well. On your local system:
- #+begin_example
- mpv https://live0.emacsconf.org/emacsconf/$TRACK-480p.webm &
- #+end_example
-
- 9. Play a video. It should display the video and update the overlays. If you need to update the overlays manually, you can copy files from ~/data/emacsconf/overlays~ onto ~$HOME/other.png~ and ~$HOME/video.png~.
-
- You can play a video with ~play video-id~ (ex: ~play meetups~), or you can specify the filename (ex: ~play ~/stream/emacsconf-2022-meetups*.webm).
-
- termit: Ctrl-Shift-t makes a new tab
-
- i3 cheat sheet:
- - Alt-Enter creates a terminal
- - Alt-d runs a command
- - Alt-e toggles horizontal/vertical split
- - Alt-f toggles full-screen
- - Alt-w switches to tabbed view
- - Alt-1 switches to workspace 1, Alt-2 switches to workspace 2
- - Alt-Shift-2 moves things to workspace 2
- - Alt-Shift-Left moves the current window to the left
- - Alt-Shift-Right moves the current window to the right
-
- 10. Test Q&A. You can either wait for the video to finish or quit it with "q".
- You can paste in the URLs or use
- ~firefox /data/emacsconf/2022/index-$TRACK.html~
-
- 11. Test adjusting the audio
-
- - ~ssh emacsconf-$TRACK@res.emacsconf.org -p 46668~
- - Then use ~qa-louder~, ~qa-quieter~, or ~qa-vol vol%~ (ex: ~qa-vol 90%~)
-
- Other notes and tips:
-
- - You can use Emacs for emergency or ad-hoc announcements.
- - Use OBS or ~pavucontrol~ to adjust the volume of BBB as needed. You might be able to manage ~pavucontrol~ off-screen with ~ssh emacsconf-$TRACK@res.emacsconf.org -X -p $SSH_PORT pavucontrol~.
- - You can also ~ssh emacsconf-$TRACK@res.emasconf.org -p 46668~ and start new processes from the command-line, such as using ~track-mpv~. If you specify commands when you call SSH instead of using an interactive shell, you may need to also specify DISPLAY=:5 (for the gen track) or DISPLAY=:6 (for the dev track), since ssh won't pick up the variables from ~.bashrc~.
- - If you have a Wayland-only desktop without any X11 compatibility layer (example: [[https://swaywm.org][Sway]] with ~xwayland disable~) the suggested software (~tigervnc~) might no work. You can use instead for example ~gnome-remote-desktop~. The password for the VNC connection can be retrieved from the file ~vnc-passwd-$TRACK~ (3DES encrypted).
-
-*** Managing the stream from the agenda (option B2)
-
-ssh orga@res.emacsconf.org -p $SSH_PORT
-emacsconf # runs emacsclient -c -a emacs
-
-You can then use
-
-- emacsconf-stream-play-video
-- emacsconf-stream-open-qa-windows-on-change
-- emacsconf-agenda-by-track
-- emacsconf-agenda
-
-If things are going well, you can use C-c C-t on the agenda view to change a talk to PLAYING, CLOSED_Q, or OPEN_Q, and various things should happen in the background. If they don't happen in the background, use emacsconf-add-org-after-todo-state-change-hook to add the todo state change hook, then try again.
-
-Task state shortcuts for C-c C-t:
-
-- m (mpv) :: PLAYING - -stream-play-video, emacsconf-stream-set-talk-info, publish the files to the media directory
-- q (Q&A) :: CLOSED_Q
-- o (open) :: update the BBB redirect URLs to let people into the room
-- u (unstreamed)
-- r (to archive)
-
-You can leave the emacsclient with ~C-x 5 0~
-
-
-**** Do Q&A
-
-From the emacsclient on orga@res.emacsconf.org, you can open various talk-related things:
-- emacsconf-stream-open-pad
-- emacsconf-stream-join-qa
-- emacsconf-stream-join-chat
-
-Alternatively, you can switch to the VNC viewer and use the links in
-file:///data/emacsconf/2022/index-gen.html or
-file:///data/emacsconf/2022/index-dev.html .
-
-For Q&A, you may want to have the Etherpad on the left, the BBB Q&A or
-IRC chat on the right, and the terminal and OBS windows on
-workspace 2.
-
-*** Other tasks as needed
-
-**** Display emergency news / announcements
-
-M-x emacsconf-stream-broadcast to send a message to both streams
-or M-x emacsconf-stream-set-news to send a message to one stream.
-
-If that doesn't work, edit the news file directly with:
-~ssh emacsconf-$TRACK@res.emacsconf.org > ~/news.txt~
-
-If that doesn't work, use the VNC session to switch to an Emacs window
-and type your message in.
-
-**** Kill the VNC server:
-
-ssh emacsconf-$TRACK@res.emacsconf.org "vncserver -kill"

-**** Making OBS scenes
-
-Making OBS scenes is pretty straightforward as you can move the
-different blocks on your scene in the preview window. However, it’s
-important to make sure that your video-captures and your overlays are
-snapping properly to the edges of the view-port. To do this, make sure
-to right-click on the block inside the preview window, and try the
-different fitting options (fit by width, height, etc.) until you find
-one that works best.
-
-We’ll probably be streaming at 720p, but since we’re also considering
-a 1080p update, try to create your overlays in a format or a resolution
-that would support resizing.
-
-*** Other notes
-There are sockets in the home directory for MPV control if you want to keep that process.

-*** Other notes
-- bandali doesn't have much cognitive bandwidth at the moment, so we can keep things simple with OBS on laptops
-
-- Issue: zaeph was dropping frames and couldn’t pay attention to as many things as he wanted
-- Issue: corwin needs assistance to not be locked in his chair for the whole conf. Premptively, zaeph can do it by broadcasting OBS scenes via the rtmp (instead of just his webcam).
-- With a long day, we may want to be able to schedule hosts/streamers/publishers in shifts
-- Ideal: Easy reproducible setup to spin up an OBS VM with scenes set up, allowing multiple users to connect to it at the same time. Maybe x2go or vnc? VMs with 8 vCPUs and a vGPU cost more, so it would be good to figure out what's needed, spin it down, and then spin it up maybe the day before or something like that.
-- Plus points if we can control the OBS via password-protected websocket so we can tell it to switch scenes (and even more points if we do so from Emacs, maybe via that obs-websocket.el ;) ). MPV is also controllable via IPC, so we can use the same MPV player and then switch videos around. Maybe mpvc? https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/664728/how-can-i-control-mpv-in-command-line
-- Probably Linode's Dedicated 32 GB + RTX6000 GPU x1 at $1.50 an hour for 2-3 days + dev time, since live.emacsconf.org is in Linode as well
-- We should also look into normalization across the board, especially if we have BBB participants. pipewire + easyeffects on the box might be the easiest way to do it.

-**** Template
-
-We plan to use Mumble as a virtual walkie-talkie during the conference
-so that we can quickly talk to each other as needed. It can also be a
-way for us to add our audio to the streams. Please set up your system
-as follows:
-
-1. Install a Mumble client on the device you want to use to connect to
- the voice channel. It can be your computer or phone. You can choose
- the username that you would like to log in with.
-2. Create and backup your certificate. (This is part of the wizard for
- the desktop client, and it might be automatic on a phone client.)
-3. Connect to mumble.emacsconf.org with your desired username.
-4. Register your account on the server using the ~Self > Register~
- command. This reserves your username using your certificate and
- allows me to add you to ACLs.
-5. Let me know (sachac on #emacsconf-org in IRC or
- sacha@sachachua.com) when you've registered so that I can add you
- to the access control lists for the private channels. If I'm around
- on mumble (sachac), you can say hi to me there and confirm that
- it's working.
-
-You can enter a channel by double-clicking on it. (On Mumla for
-Android, entering a channel is instead done by clicking on the arrow
-to the right of the channel.) Then your audio will go to that channel,
-and you can hear audio from that channel. We can use the
-~emacsconf-gen~ and ~emacsconf-dev~ channels to speak on air, and we
-can use the ~backstage~ channel for coordination.
-
-Looking forward to hearing from you!

+- Good: Static image, maybe created with LaTeX
+- Better: Video with unobtrusive sound so people can doublecheck that their audio works

+
+OBS scenes (maybe?):
+
+- splash-screen when we’re on break
+- scene when broadcasting a talk (where we might want a logo and a bar or surrounding to broadcast messages like time left in
+ recording); and
+- Q&A scene with host-webcam, optional speaker-webcam, and pad with questions.
+- Q&A scene focusing on shared screen from speaker
+- Q&A scene with IRC and pad
+
+Nothing is urgent, blocking it, or being blocked by it, so you can
+play around with ideas.
+
+We're experimenting with two tracks this year, so we expect that some
+people will join midway through a talk or Q&A session and
+would like to reorient themselves. Some Q&A sessions may end
+early, so we would like to reassure people that they're in
+the right spot for the next talk. Most Q&As will be done
+live, but some Q&As will be done over IRC, so we need to
+point people to the right place.
+
+and if there's room for a little extra info like public e-mail
+addresses or pronouns, that can help people when they discuss
+things. That info will be in the pad and IRC, though, so it's
+also okay to omit it
+
+
+
+We can programmatically replace strings in
+SVG from Emacs, so we can easily use that as an overlay.
+
+
+<zaeph> …Or, if you just want to focus on the look of
+things, we can think of the content on our own.
+
+<sachac> oh yeah, totally, you can just focus on the design and use
+placeholder text

+- talk videos will likely have subtitles; no subtitles for Q&A

+:CUSTOM_ID: streaming
+:END:
+
+Current status:
+
+- res.emacsconf.org seems to be able to handle 2x (OBS + TigerVNC + MPV, should test with Firefox as well)
+- corwin and jman will stream gen from OBS on res
+- bandali will stream dev from his laptop
+- let sachac know if you want manual control or more autopilot for the gen stream
+
+Goals:
+
+- [X] Be able to start a VNC server with OBS, MPV, and Firefox, connect to it, and stream
+- [X] Have another session with the sound isolated
+- [-] Split the audio so that we can join the Q&A room before the MPV ends - handled by automatic scene switcher detecting mpv, but we can't share just a window, so we might as well just wait
+- [X] Control MPV from the commandline: track-mpv appears in the correct display, and it can also be controlled via the socket like this: echo '{ "command": ["loadfile", "test2.webm"] }' | socat - ~/mpv-socket-emacsconf-dev
+- [ ] Share the window instead of the desktop?
+
+Prerequisites:
+
+- You need to be able to SSH out to res.emacsconf.org on port 46668
+ and forward ports, so one of the main organizers needs to add your
+ SSH public key to the authorized_keys file. Please e-mail your SSH
+ public key to sacha@sachachua.com and test that port 46668 is not
+ blocked.
+- For streaming from OBS in VNC, you will need a VNC viewer like
+ tigervnc-viewer.
+- For streaming from your local computer, you will need OBS and FFmpeg.
+
+During the conference, you will:
+
+- play the talk video (unless it's automatically managed by the agenda) and update the overlays
+- display intro/intermission information as needed
+- open the Q&A windows, like the pad and the BBB room/IRC (unless it's automatically managed by the agenda)
+- adjust the volume if needed
+- arrange windows and focus the BBB room on the speaker's webcam if needed
+- if you like, you can be responsible for managing the track from conf.org on orga@res.emacsconf.org
+
+Dry run checklist:
+
+- [ ] Connect to the server
+ ssh orga@res.emacsconf.org -p 46668
+ emacsconf # runs emacsclient -c -a emacs
+- [ ] Forward ports and connect via VNC
+- [ ] Find the OBS or start it if it is not running
+- [ ] Start recording
+- [ ] Play a video
+- [ ] Open two Firefox windows and arrange them
+- [ ] Manage windows on the workspace
+- [ ] Adjust the volume in OBS
+- [ ] SSH to the server and play a video off-screen
+- [ ] SSH to the server with X forwarding and adjust the volume off-screen
+
+*** Broadcasting from local OBS (option A)
+ - You can copy the profile from your track or look inside it for the icecast mount point details:
+
+ - Gen: rsync -avze 'ssh -p 46668' emacsconf-gen@res.emacsconf.org:~/.config/obs-studio/basic/profiles/ ~/.config/obs-studio/basic/profiles/
+ - Dev: rsync -avze 'ssh -p 46668' emacsconf-dev@res.emacsconf.org:~/.config/obs-studio/basic/profiles/ ~/.config/obs-studio/basic/profiles/
+
+ - Sacha will turn off the OBS recordings on res so that you can test streaming from your computer
+ - If you're doing this independently, you can jump ahead to "Connecting to VNC" in order to stop the recording yourself
+
+ - Verify with MPV:
+ #+begin_example
+ mpv https://live0.emacsconf.org/emacsconf/gen.webm
+ mpv https://live0.emacsconf.org/emacsconf/dev.webm
+ #+end_example
+
+ - With luck, the 480p streams will be up automatically as well
+ #+begin_example
+ mpv https://live0.emacsconf.org/emacsconf/gen-480p.webm
+ mpv https://live0.emacsconf.org/emacsconf/dev-480p.webm
+ #+end_example
+
+*** Connecting to VNC (option B)
+
+ 1. Stop broadcasting locally if you were testing local OBS.
+
+ 2. Install a VNC viewer on your system (ex: tigervnc-viewer).
+
+ 3. Set up your local environment:
+
+ - gen: export TRACK=gen; export TRACK_PORT=5905; export SSH_PORT=46668
+ - dev: export TRACK=dev; export TRACK_PORT=5906; export SSH_PORT=46668
+
+ 4. Copy the password:
+
+ scp emacsconf-$TRACK@res.emacsconf.org:~/.vnc/passwd vnc-passwd-$TRACK -p $SSH_PORT
+
+ 5. Forward your local ports and connect via VNC viewer to the
+ appropriate forwarded port from your laptop:
+
+ #+begin_example
+ ssh emacsconf-$TRACK@res.emacsconf.org -N -L $TRACK_PORT:127.0.0.1:$TRACK_PORT -p $SSH_PORT &
+ sleep 5 # Give it time to establish the tunnels
+ xvncviewer 127.0.0.1:$TRACK_PORT -shared -geometry 1280x720 -passwd vnc-passwd-$TRACK &
+ #+end_example
+
+ (If this doesn't find a VNC server to connect to, you can start it with ~ssh emacsconf-$TRACK@res.emacsconf.org -p $SSH_PORT /home/emacsconf-$TRACK/bin/track-vnc~)
+
+ 6. Start *recording* (not streaming). If you don't see OBS when you connect, it's probably on workspace 2, so you can switch with Alt-2. If you still don't see it there, you can open a terminal with Alt-Enter and then run ~track-obs~. After you start recording, confirm that it is now broadcasting to the stream.
+
+ 7. Verify with MPV on your local system:
+ #+begin_example
+ mpv https://live0.emacsconf.org/emacsconf/$TRACK.webm &
+ #+end_example
+
+ 8. With luck, the 480p streams will be up automatically as well. On your local system:
+ #+begin_example
+ mpv https://live0.emacsconf.org/emacsconf/$TRACK-480p.webm &
+ #+end_example
+
+ 9. Play a video. It should display the video and update the overlays. If you need to update the overlays manually, you can copy files from ~/data/emacsconf/overlays~ onto ~$HOME/other.png~ and ~$HOME/video.png~.
+
+ You can play a video with ~play video-id~ (ex: ~play meetups~), or you can specify the filename (ex: ~play ~/stream/emacsconf-2022-meetups*.webm).
+
+ termit: Ctrl-Shift-t makes a new tab
+
+ i3 cheat sheet:
+ - Alt-Enter creates a terminal
+ - Alt-d runs a command
+ - Alt-e toggles horizontal/vertical split
+ - Alt-f toggles full-screen
+ - Alt-w switches to tabbed view
+ - Alt-1 switches to workspace 1, Alt-2 switches to workspace 2
+ - Alt-Shift-2 moves things to workspace 2
+ - Alt-Shift-Left moves the current window to the left
+ - Alt-Shift-Right moves the current window to the right
+
+ 10. Test Q&A. You can either wait for the video to finish or quit it with "q".
+ You can paste in the URLs or use
+ ~firefox /data/emacsconf/2022/index-$TRACK.html~
+
+ 11. Test adjusting the audio
+
+ - ~ssh emacsconf-$TRACK@res.emacsconf.org -p 46668~
+ - Then use ~qa-louder~, ~qa-quieter~, or ~qa-vol vol%~ (ex: ~qa-vol 90%~)
+
+ Other notes and tips:
+
+ - You can use Emacs for emergency or ad-hoc announcements.
+ - Use OBS or ~pavucontrol~ to adjust the volume of BBB as needed. You might be able to manage ~pavucontrol~ off-screen with ~ssh emacsconf-$TRACK@res.emacsconf.org -X -p $SSH_PORT pavucontrol~.
+ - You can also ~ssh emacsconf-$TRACK@res.emasconf.org -p 46668~ and start new processes from the command-line, such as using ~track-mpv~. If you specify commands when you call SSH instead of using an interactive shell, you may need to also specify DISPLAY=:5 (for the gen track) or DISPLAY=:6 (for the dev track), since ssh won't pick up the variables from ~.bashrc~.
+ - If you have a Wayland-only desktop without any X11 compatibility layer (example: [[https://swaywm.org][Sway]] with ~xwayland disable~) the suggested software (~tigervnc~) might no work. You can use instead for example ~gnome-remote-desktop~. The password for the VNC connection can be retrieved from the file ~vnc-passwd-$TRACK~ (3DES encrypted).
+
+*** Managing the stream from the agenda (option B2)
+
+ssh orga@res.emacsconf.org -p $SSH_PORT
+emacsconf # runs emacsclient -c -a emacs
+
+You can then use
+
+- emacsconf-stream-play-video
+- emacsconf-stream-open-qa-windows-on-change
+- emacsconf-agenda-by-track
+- emacsconf-agenda
+
+If things are going well, you can use C-c C-t on the agenda view to change a talk to PLAYING, CLOSED_Q, or OPEN_Q, and various things should happen in the background. If they don't happen in the background, use emacsconf-add-org-after-todo-state-change-hook to add the todo state change hook, then try again.
+
+Task state shortcuts for C-c C-t:
+
+- m (mpv) :: PLAYING - -stream-play-video, emacsconf-stream-set-talk-info, publish the files to the media directory
+- q (Q&A) :: CLOSED_Q
+- o (open) :: update the BBB redirect URLs to let people into the room
+- u (unstreamed)
+- r (to archive)
+
+You can leave the emacsclient with ~C-x 5 0~
+
+
+**** Do Q&A
+
+From the emacsclient on orga@res.emacsconf.org, you can open various talk-related things:
+- emacsconf-stream-open-pad
+- emacsconf-stream-join-qa
+- emacsconf-stream-join-chat
+
+Alternatively, you can switch to the VNC viewer and use the links in
+file:///data/emacsconf/2022/index-gen.html or
+file:///data/emacsconf/2022/index-dev.html .
+
+For Q&A, you may want to have the Etherpad on the left, the BBB Q&A or
+IRC chat on the right, and the terminal and OBS windows on
+workspace 2.
+
+*** Other tasks as needed
+
+**** Display emergency news / announcements
+
+M-x emacsconf-stream-broadcast to send a message to both streams
+or M-x emacsconf-stream-set-news to send a message to one stream.
+
+If that doesn't work, edit the news file directly with:
+~ssh emacsconf-$TRACK@res.emacsconf.org > ~/news.txt~
+
+If that doesn't work, use the VNC session to switch to an Emacs window
+and type your message in.
+
+**** Kill the VNC server:
+
+ssh emacsconf-$TRACK@res.emacsconf.org "vncserver -kill"
+
+| ~/bin/track-obs | start OBS with the track's profile and scene collection |
+| ~/bin/track-mpv file.webm | play the file using the track's sink |
+
+**** Making OBS scenes
+
+Making OBS scenes is pretty straightforward as you can move the
+different blocks on your scene in the preview window. However, it’s
+important to make sure that your video-captures and your overlays are
+snapping properly to the edges of the view-port. To do this, make sure
+to right-click on the block inside the preview window, and try the
+different fitting options (fit by width, height, etc.) until you find
+one that works best.
+
+We’ll probably be streaming at 720p, but since we’re also considering
+a 1080p update, try to create your overlays in a format or a resolution
+that would support resizing.
+
+*** Other notes
+There are sockets in the home directory for MPV control if you want to keep that process.

+*** Other notes
+- bandali doesn't have much cognitive bandwidth at the moment, so we can keep things simple with OBS on laptops
+
+- Issue: zaeph was dropping frames and couldn’t pay attention to as many things as he wanted
+- Issue: corwin needs assistance to not be locked in his chair for the whole conf. Premptively, zaeph can do it by broadcasting OBS scenes via the rtmp (instead of just his webcam).
+- With a long day, we may want to be able to schedule hosts/streamers/publishers in shifts
+- Ideal: Easy reproducible setup to spin up an OBS VM with scenes set up, allowing multiple users to connect to it at the same time. Maybe x2go or vnc? VMs with 8 vCPUs and a vGPU cost more, so it would be good to figure out what's needed, spin it down, and then spin it up maybe the day before or something like that.
+- Plus points if we can control the OBS via password-protected websocket so we can tell it to switch scenes (and even more points if we do so from Emacs, maybe via that obs-websocket.el ;) ). MPV is also controllable via IPC, so we can use the same MPV player and then switch videos around. Maybe mpvc? https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/664728/how-can-i-control-mpv-in-command-line
+- Probably Linode's Dedicated 32 GB + RTX6000 GPU x1 at $1.50 an hour for 2-3 days + dev time, since live.emacsconf.org is in Linode as well
+- We should also look into normalization across the board, especially if we have BBB participants. pipewire + easyeffects on the box might be the easiest way to do it.

+:END:
+
+Hi ${name}!
+
+Thank you for volunteering to help with the captions for ${conf-name}
+${year}! Last year, we were able to get almost all the talks captioned
+in time for streaming. Participants found them very useful for
+understanding different technical terms, names, accents, and so on.
+We'd love to be able to pull that off again this year, and it would be
+great to have you on board.
+
+We've set up ${backstage} as the backstage area where you can view the
+videos and resources uploaded so far. You can access it with the
+username "${backstage-user}" and the password "${backstage-password}".
+Please keep the backstage password and resources secret. If you see a
+talk that you'd like to caption, you can e-mail me at
+sacha@sachachua.com and I can reserve it for you. Then you can correct
+any misrecognized words, fix capitalizations, remove filler words as
+needed, and so on.
+
+You'll probably want to work with either the VTT or the TXT versions
+(VTT is WebVTT format and has timestamps), but you can check the other
+talk resources in case the speaker has posted scripts or other useful
+things. Both VTT and TXT are plain text, so feel free to use your
+favourite text or subtitle editor. I've posted a brief demo of how I
+edit captions at
+https://media.emacsconf.org/2022/backstage/editing-captions.html , and
+you can find more captioning tips at https://emacsconf.org/captioning/
+. You can convert it to whatever format you like. If you prefer to
+work with plain text, we can figure out the timestamps afterwards.
+
+Let me know if you want to reserve a talk for captioning or if you have
+any questions or suggestions. We're also in the #emacsconf-org channel
+on the libera.chat IRC network, which you can connect to with your
+favourite IRC client or through the web-based interface at
+https://chat.emacsconf.org/ .
