Improving DX and adoption of Membrane Framework
summary
Membrane is an Elixir pipeline framework with 60 plugins for live streaming; building an RTMP→HLS pipeline is explicit but has a steep entry cost. A new library, Boombox, sits on top and auto-creates pipelines with a simple CLI, producing working examples (RTMP, WebRTC, HLS, MP4) that handle H.264, AAC and Opus. Demos show a multi-client RTMP server, a style-transfer stream and a live “not hot dog” classifier; small apps run in 5–6 lines of code and the repo is on GitHub.
