Folder Stream

An interactive batch file that uses ffmpeg on Windows to perform rtmps streaming of files with a specified extension in a folder. And it adds an overlay layer to the video to show the current playing file name.

Tested on Telegram PC (Windows11 21H2, 4.8.10 x64) live stream. Very good audio quality compared to in-app streaming.

2. In version2, I made a new feature. The batch can save (in the same folder with the .bat file) and load last config, making more convenience. Download and place a NotoSansCJKsc-Regular.ttf in the same folder with the .bat file. Here is the download link: https://github.com/life888888/cjk-fonts-ttf/releases/download/v0.1.0/NotoSansCJKsc-Regular.ttf .

3. Follow the directions print out on the cmd.exe console. Type some information it requires. Press Enter. And it will run! (it works on my machine)

4. (if you want to) Configure the ffmpeg params.
