RevoStream

Introduction

RevoStream is a desktop application for streamers and live production teams. It helps you build scenes, manage sources, and run streaming or recording workflows in one place.

Powered by revo-project/revo-lib, RevoStream is built with Rust, Tauri, and Svelte.

Warning

RevoStream is officially supported on Linux. Windows and macOS can be run in experimental/dev mode (instructions below).

• Close to 50,000 lines of code

Streaming

• Supports streaming services available in recent OBS Studio builds
• Official support for Kick streaming
• Protocol support: RTMP, RTMPS, SRT, RIST, WHIP, WebRTC

Themes

• Use built-in themes or create your own custom theme for your mood
• Quickly import themes via .revotheme extension

Goals

• Worldwide language support
• Support for more operating systems (e.g. Windows, macOS, Android)

Usage

Stable release

Download the latest version from the Releases page.

Build from source

Install dependencies and build:

pnpm build

Run locally

• Development mode: ./run.sh
• Stable-release build: ./run-stable.sh

Windows (experimental)

Use this only for local/dev testing.

Prerequisites

• Rust toolchain (stable)
• Node.js 20+
• pnpm
• Visual Studio 2022 Build Tools (MSVC C++ toolchain)
• WebView2 runtime

Steps

# from revo-ui/
pnpm install

# frontend check
pnpm build

# tauri backend
cd src-tauri
cargo build --no-default-features
cd ..

# run app in dev mode
pnpm tauri dev

If OBS symbols/modules are missing at runtime, follow OBS bootstrapper (if needed).

macOS (experimental)

Use this only for local/dev testing.

Prerequisites

• Rust toolchain (stable)
• Node.js 20+
• pnpm
• Xcode + Command Line Tools

Steps

# from revo-ui/
pnpm install

# frontend check
pnpm build

# tauri backend
cd src-tauri
cargo build --no-default-features
cd ..

# run app in dev mode
pnpm tauri dev

If OBS symbols/modules are missing at runtime, follow OBS bootstrapper (if needed).

OBS bootstrapper (if needed)

Because this project is based on revo-lib + libobs-rs, you may need to bootstrap matching OBS binaries on non-Linux setups or when system OBS is incompatible.

Option A: Use local/system OBS (preferred on Linux)

Install/update OBS on the host system and ensure runtime can find libobs and plugins.

Option B: Use libobs-rs bootstrapper flow (recommended for Windows/macOS dev)

In the revo-lib crate (sibling repository), enable/use the libobs-bootstrapper path from libobs-rs so OBS binaries are downloaded at runtime.

Typical flow:

1. Add libobs-bootstrapper integration in revo-lib startup path.
2. On app startup, bootstrap OBS binaries into app-local directory.
3. Point runtime env paths (OBS_DATA_PATH, OBS_PLUGIN_PATH, and platform library path) to bootstrapped output.

If you want, a ready-to-use bootstrap implementation can be added directly to revo-lib startup code.

Tech stack

• Rust (via revo-lib based on libobs-rs)
• Tauri
• Svelte
• OBS/libobs via revo-lib

Other Scripts

• clean.sh - for cleanup all built code

Contributing

The project is currently in an early MVP stage Contributions are welcome

If you want to help:

• Open an issue with a bug report or feature request
• Discuss major changes before implementation
• Submit a pull request with a clear scope and summary

Pull requests for libobs bindings and performance optimizations are especially welcome

Let's build the future of streaming together
