You should know the OBS team plans on deprecating FTL since Mixer was the only major player who ever used it, not to mention the fact that the server side of the tech is closed. The FTL implementation in OBS is buggy, and keeping it maintained is not worth the effort for a non-standard transport protocol.

Yes I am aware however there is a new service called Glimesh that is utilizing FTL so I dont think it is going to disappear tomorrow. Also I have implemented the server side so it does not matter that it is closed.

Sure, but Glimesh are going to be looking at moving away from FTL themselves. See the discussion on this PR: https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/pull/3834

Well, I think it's possible FTL will be gone from OBS by the end of 2021 so I guess they need to figure out what they are doing sooner rather than later. There will probably be a post about it on the OBS Github soon.
