What about SRS:

We are using it as a vimeo replacement using OBS studio to stream to it
and transcode to FLV and MP4..
That seems to be what I'm looking for. Its packaging, though, appears to be
quite ...interesting, with a handwritten configure script, rather than a
stock autoconf or cmake script. The handwritten configure script is
sprinkled with hardcoded callouts for Ubuntu and, apparently, CentOS, but it
appears to be horribly broken on Fedora. This is what passes for a
"configure" script in that package, a small sample:
rm -rf ${SRS_OBJS}/st-1.9 && cd ${SRS_OBJS} &&
unzip -q ../3rdparty/st-1.9.zip && cd st-1.9 && chmod +w * &&
patch -p0 < ../../3rdparty/patches/1.st.arm.patch &&
// [ a bunch of patch commands ]
make ${_ST_MAKE} EXTRA_CFLAGS="${_ST_EXTRA_CFLAGS}" &&
It actually unzips a bundled package, applies some patches to it, and runs
make for it. And the unzipped+patched Makefile is broken on Fedora.
Looking at what's in the source tree:
https://github.com/ossrs/srs/tree/master/trunk/3rdparty
That's what gets bundled inside this beast.
I'll bet it statically links everything.
Not sure exactly how exactly one goes about preparing a standard RPM out of
something like that.
Oh, and the icing on the cake is that after I managed to figure out a
standard patch to work around the configure script's compilation problem,
the configure script then tried to run sudo:
http_parser.c:1952:5: note: here
http_parser.c:1960:10: warning: this statement may fall through [-Wimplicit-
fallthrough=]
http_parser.c:1965:5: note: here

After examining what exactly it was trying to sudo, I determined that it was
completely unnecessary; so I patched it out. That made the alleged configure
step work. But the (real) make build bombed out because, apparently, it's
broken with OpenSSL 1.1.0, and the configure script decided to compile
against the system openssl, instead of unpacking and statically-building the
bundled version. After a closer look, I found nothing in this package's
build system that actually unpacks and builds the bundled openssl. The
package appears to bundle an older version of OpenSSL, but the mechanism to
unbundle it correctly appears to be missing. I gave up at this point.
Somehow, I doubt that this will be packaged in Fedora at any time in the
foreseeable future.
That's really unfortunate, because this seems to be what I'm looking for.
Presuming, of course, it doesn't include a built-in crypto miner, or a spam
server, or something of a similar nature. If you built this yourself, on
Fedora, I'd be interested in seeing the steps you followed. If you just
installed the CentOS tarball that this Chinese-developed software package
apparently provides for your convenience, you might want to consider
reformatting all your machines and reinstalling CentOS. Just saying...
