Just started testing around with it and i seem to have around 60 second or more delay. Is there anyway to lower this?

How to resolve this

I don't see any logs at all for connections on the 1935 port. It doesn't log it started/stopped/failed anything at all in the logs. Is it supposed to? Is there something I can add so it does log something? Right now it is disconnecting immediately and not saying why.

Hello. How do I can use adaptive streaming with HLS?

hls_variant _src BANDWIDTH=4096000; # Source bitrate, source resolution
hls_variant _hd720 BANDWIDTH=2048000; # High bitrate, HD 720p resolution
hls_variant _high BANDWIDTH=1152000; # High bitrate, higher-than-SD resolution
hls_variant _mid BANDWIDTH=448000; # Medium bitrate, SD resolution
hls_variant _low BANDWIDTH=288000; # Low bitrate, sub-SD resolution

Hello

Trying to set this up.
I'm sending from OBS in rtmp successully.
I can open the rtmp stream in VLC .

When loading the HLS player i'm getting audio only, black video.
in dash the spinner is just spinning endlessly.

/stats gives this ;
`

`

I'd dearly love to get this docker working correctly. However there are a couple of issues.

First, it will randomly drop the video or the entire stream. Looking at the stats, the video is not present. A stop start of the docker plugin resolves. This can happen frequently within an hour

Secondly, sometimes the stats page shows nothing.. even though the plugin is outputting a stream and I am viewing it on another device.

Another issue is when starting up the docker plugin, the syslog is flooded with these messages (eventually filling up all the log space). These messages continue until the docker plugin is stopped. This could be related to the above issue

Good afternoon, I'm trying to change the default stream key, and when I change it in loadsource it doesn't work for me, they say that you have to change it in the src tag of the video, but there is nothing there

I am changing the stream key in the loadSource

But when it comes to playing, it doesn't load the stream, and yes, I also put the new stream key in the obs

When I use dashjs or hls.js to embed hls/mpd url into a https webpage
eg.
http://localhost:8080/dash/test_src.mpd
http://localhost:8080/hls/test.m3u8

browser was blocked the file, and the error msg is:
"This request has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPS."

How to make http to https as browser blocked mix content

I was configured my OBS as custom streaming to rtmp://<ip>:<port>/stream and key test

As I understood, nginx will callback ffmpeg to block the stream into .ts for HLS, however it is not working.

And here's the nginx's log

im using your code and docker image it works in the default setup , so i changed little in nginx.conf

but i want to get live feed from rtsp cam so i tried to modify it but i cant to create the stream files for hls or dash
any hints?

Could you please help me to decrease EXTINF in converted with ffmpeg hls fragments?
I stream with 2 seconds per fragment, so _src.m3u8 have these strings (everything is great):

#EXTINF:2.000,
my_stream_src-8.ts
#EXTINF:2.000,
my_stream_src-9.ts
#EXTINF:2.000,
my_stream_src-10.ts
#EXTINF:2.000,
my_stream_src-11.ts
#EXTINF:2.000,
my_stream_src-12.ts
#EXTINF:2.000,
my_stream_src-13.ts

However hd720, mid and etc. parts seems to be 8 seconds long:

#EXTINF:8.334,
my_stream_hd720-22.ts
#EXTINF:8.333,
my_stream_hd720-23.ts
#EXTINF:8.333,
my_stream_hd720-24.ts
#EXTINF:8.334,
my_stream_hd720-25.ts
#EXTINF:8.333,
my_stream_hd720-26.ts
#EXTINF:8.333,
my_stream_hd720-27.ts

This increases the delay of stream, download speed and etc.
Any advice would be appreciated greatly.
Command for converting:

Hallo,

is there a possibility to integrate letsencrypt for https and rtmps into the docker image?
See here for an example:
https://serverfault.com/questions/1019317/receiving-rtmps-stream-on-nginx-rtmp

thx

Is it possible to have a HLS stream that auto starts when launched.

Also that doesn't have the headers and footers on the page?

Thanks

Clean install of OBS 25.0.8 on a clean windows 10 install. I setup the rtmp server with a docker on unraid. What's so weird is when I tell OBS to do a "test stream" from it's auto setup wizard, it actually works, for the duration of the test I can go into the status page and see it creating all the hls streams. But then using those same settings (on multiple systems, both using QSV and NVENC) it just disconnects the stream right away and the stat page is empty. When checking the docker logs I see the test was sucessful

But when trying to stream and getting the disconnect no errors show up in the docker log, where can I probe for a log file that might point out where the issue is?

Thanks

In your Dockerfiles, you refers to:
wget https://github.com/arut/nginx-rtmp-module/archive/v${NGINX_RTMP_MODULE_VERSION}.tar.gz

That path do not exist anymore, since 'archive' has been removed.

I guess the correct path is now:
wget https://github.com/arut/nginx-rtmp-module/archive/refs/tags/v${NGINX_RTMP_MODULE_VERSION}.tar.gz

It might be time to update NGINX, FFMPEG and RTMP-module-versions and Debian-version as well :)

I streamed OBS to the standard install. From safari, I browse to the hls.html. The stream comes up lovely and clear but it’s about a minute behind what is on OBS. What are the main issues causing this? Is there a buffer setting that needs changing or something.

Can anyone advise how to get the HLS stream a lot closer to live please?

putting a .mpd in /mnt/dash and then going to the dash route, the playback does not work

I am unable to get this to build on Alpine versions above 3.8. I have also tested Debian buster with similar result; but would like to focus on Alpine.

It seems like a dependency might be missing; but I've checked and believe I have all the correct dependencies. At least, its consistent with other builds.

Note: Adding linux-headers did not make a difference; build still fails.

Does anyone know why RTMP would fail to build on newer versions of both Alpine and Debian?

Hi

Has somthing changed. I have tried two machines (Both Macs) running this. Whilst OBS seems to think its streaming to the server there is no output.

Any troubleshooting you would suggest?

Thanks

The aac code doesn't appear to be able to be configured to do more, can we have more audio codecs, such as libmp3lame or something else. I am new to this, but I hope my thoughts find you well. Thank you for this tool, I'm just hoping to really maximize my available bandwidth.

Thank you for putting this together. However, I'm still trying to get it to work with my GoPro cameras. I will ping you if I need assistance if you're okay with that.

Hi dear!
I need to set a user pass for my specific stream key to restrict others to access my stream key.
How can I enable authorization??

Ngix httpS support is important to integrate player in most of websites.

Hi,

Thanks for the package it is easy to install and works well.

The aim was to use this to just share my desktop to others using OBS. However when I watch the stream on the web players or on VLC it doesn't show the live stream but a slightly out of date one.

I don't want to save any video to the server. I just want a live stream that shows only the latest. Otherwise it won't make any sense to anyone. Is there any way to do that?

Hi,
your Docker container is exactly what I'm looking for 🤩 My project is to have a Raspberry Pi 4 as a wireless Accesspoint running a Streaming-Server so that I can stream a drone video live onto multiple devices.

For the Access Point I'm using OpenWRT (as Raspian was not reliable with an external wifi-antenna). I got docker set up for OpenWrt however when I try to run the container via
docker run --platform linux/arm64 -d -p 1935:1935 -p 8080:8080 alqutami/rtmp-hls
after the download I gt this message back:
WARNING: image with reference alqutami/rtmp-hls was found but does not match the specified platform: wanted linux/arm64, actual: linux/amd64 docker: Error response from daemon: image with reference alqutami/rtmp-hls was found but does not match the specified platform: wanted linux/arm64, actual: linux/amd64.

What must I do to get it up and running?

Thanks a lot in advance! :)

What is the best approach to get HLS working over HTTPS in Docker on AWS EC2?

Hi,

first of all its a really nice docker container you made! Thx anyway!

Should it be possible to get streams with vlc rtmp://localhost:1935/show/test_hd720 as well?
Its not working in my setup.

Or how can I use all this *_mid, *_hight, *_low ...etc?

How can I test this adaptive Streaming? Where are this _ streams used?

Thanks and have a nice day
Darian

I would recommend adding the drop_idle_publisher 10s; after the exec push to the nginx conf to prevent errors when the stream publisher has network issues.

How to reproduce:
Stream to nginx via OBS and pull network cable of your streaming device. When reconnecting you cannot stream to the same Streamkey. error_log says: live: already publishing.

The above directive fixes this problem.

Hi,

i got everything running for a while now and i used to use a IP whitelist who can access port 1935 in my firewall to have some control on who can use my stream server and who cant. Now we would also go "outside" our normal streaming environment and we will be using 4G/5G to stream. There is chance the WAN IP will change alot. So i wanted to generate unique stream keys for my users to allow them to stream from everywhere. I know there is a 'notify" option in nginx is could use for this, but this is also where my knowledge stops.

i hope someone has experience with this and could help me.

Kind regards,
Graxo
