Glob list of video files to stream. Suggest including a static -image (could be your logo):

python -m pylivestream.fglob path site -glob glob_pattern -image image

• path path to where video files are
• glob_pattern e.g. *.avi pattern matching video files

Example: stream all .mp3 audio under ~/music directory:

python -m pylivestream.fglob ~/music youtube -glob "*.mp3" -image mylogo.jpg

Example: stream all .mp3 audio in ~/music with an animated GIF or video clip repeating:

python -m pylivestream.fglob ~/music youtube -glob "*.mp3" -image myclip.avi

or

python -m pylivestream.fglob ~/music youtube -glob "*.mp3" -image animated.gif
