| Was awake all night trying to get the [https://github.com/ffplayout playout system] to work. Eventually got it working during testing, didn't realise Facebook had no audio, YouTube stream was being processed by ffmpeg instead of passing-through, playout server's ffmpeg config was incorrect and caused the playout server to be restarted many times. Resolved before the end though. Then exported a final version reaching about 39GB in size for VOD to replace the live-recorded version with it's many technical difficulties.
