Features & Capabilities

Pinku's Lab provides a robust, self-hosted streaming pipeline for creators. Here is a look at what makes our looper unique.

24/7 Playlist Looping

Run your selected pre-recorded videos continuously in a seamless loop. Pinku's Lab maintains a continuous video timeline state, automatically cycling back to the start of the list.

Local FFmpeg Encoder

Compile and encode local video assets directly on your system using high-efficiency FFmpeg parameters. Utilizes local hardware acceleration (NVIDIA NVENC, QuickSync, or Apple Silicon) when available.

Direct YouTube Ingest

The local Helper sends FFmpeg output to YouTube over secure RTMPS and reports the actual process state, bitrate, FPS, speed, and errors back to the browser dashboard.

YouTube Stream Key Setup

Securely input your YouTube Studio stream key. Keys are handled strictly locally and masked from visual inspection to maintain absolute broadcast security.

Quality Control Configurations

Select the optimal resolution (720p, 1080p, 1440p, or 4K Ultra HD) based on your upload bandwidth to ensure a stable, crisp stream.

Upload Speed Test

Verify your network upload capability before launching. Checks real-time connection bandwidth to suggest the safest streaming resolution.

Live Dashboard Telemetry

Track critical runtime statistics in real time, including CPU encoding speed, stream duration, frames per second (FPS), bitrate, and GOP alignment status.

Automated Preflight Check

Before going live, the system validates the selected media files, ensures the stream key is loaded, and checks if FFmpeg is installed and accessible.
