How connect OBS with VPS which has ffmpeg for live streaming? - apache

Helo I've a VPS on Centos 7 with Apache and ffmpeg.
How can I do live streaming on this server using OBS on my local PC to encode and publish to this server and after embed this live video in my wordpress website to allow every device to watch the live video?
Thank you all

OBS is using RTMP protocol. You would need a server that can serve RTMP, Nginx web server has a plugin that let's you do that. There is no need to use Apache or FFMPEG, Nginx would be alot easier.

Apache + Nginx Server With RTMP Live Streaming

I am using CWP Pro (Control Web Panel)
I have selected webserver = Apache + Nginx
I want to install RTMP and want to live stream on my website with obs studio.
My queries are =
Do I need to install NGINX even if I am using Apache+Nginx server ?
Maximum tutorials / search results are showing NGINX + RTMP installation guide. Do I need to install NGINX too ? Or only RTMP module ?
After installing RTMP, I have created url for streaming (e.g. rtmp://my_ip_address/live/stream_key), and added it in OBS studio. Started OBS streaming. But I am stuck at Code To Embed this live streaming in my html page of my website. How Can I EMbed it with video player lie video.js or other suggestions ?
Please consider about this solution in two parts:
CWP, the admin control dashboard, to manage your system and live streams.
Media System, the live streaming system, to publish by OBS, to play the live stream by some proper protocols.
Generally, there are some HTTP Callback and HTTP-API between the two system, so it's better to deploy and build them separately.
For Media System, the generally workflow is:
Generate the live stream URL by your CWP system, like the RTMP url you mentioned.
Use encoder, OBS as such, to publish the RTMP stream. RTMP is the widely used protocol by encoder, SRT is an optional, WebRTC is also able to publish live stream now, see this post.
Depends on your scenarios, H5 or Mobile, use some players to play the live stream. Well, it's complex, but RTMP definitely doesn't work, please use HLS/HTTP-FLV/DASH/WebRTC, see this post.
There are some commercial solutions too, which does the same things.

Can I host JITSI Meet streaming from own server?

I'm looking for streaming of audio and Video call using JITSI Meet. But I do not want the streaming server to be hosted on JITSI. Can I host on own server?
yes you can host it on your own server. follow this guide.
For that thing, you have to set up a Jibri server. After that, you can stream your video and audio into a custom RTMP server. The default you can stream into Facebook and Youtube.

RTSP over SSL (RTSPS)

We have a video streaming (video on demand) server implemented using wowza streaming engine. Clients (android application, web browser) access the stream using RTMP (web browser) and RTSP (android application). As we have requirement that the streaming should be over SSL, as web browser's player (jw player) supports RTMPS, I have configured wowza to support RTMPS and tested the functionality. But we also need to support RTSP over SSL (RTSPS). I have read that wowza doesn't support RTSPS (ref: https://www.wowza.com/forums/showthread.php?34002-RTP-RTSP-over-SSL). Then we need to terminate the SSL on ELB itself(our video streaming server is behind an ELB).
We are using ffmpeg player in android player. Under this link there is nothing mentioned regarding RTSPS or RTSP over SSL. Just I am wondering whether such a protocol exists ?. If so, is there any android player or any other player I can use for testing RTSPS ?
Please go through the below link to configure your server to accept secured connection
[https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-get-ssl-certificates-from-the-streamlock-service#rtmpsPlayback][1]
Cross compile your ffmpeg to support openssl library.
Push your video stream to wowza using "rtsps"
eg:
ffmpeg -re -i -acodec copy -vcodec copy -f rtsp
rtsps://username:password#:443/live/myStream
I was recommend place a LB infront of my Wowza for SSL offloading so you can load the m3u8 over SSL. I was also told you can do that quite easily using HA Proxy for example. It is explained how to accomplish this here for RTMP but the same can obviously done with HTTP:
https://github.com/arut/nginx-rtmp-module/issues/457#issuecomment-250783255
Note, I have not tried this yet and I am unclear on exactly the proper use scenario. Hope this is helpful.
You can add a hostport to enable Streaming RTP/RTSP over SSL
<HostPort>
<Name>Default Secure Streaming</Name>
<Type>Streaming</Type>
<ProcessorCount>${com.wowza.wms.TuningAuto}</ProcessorCount>
<IpAddress>*</IpAddress>
<Port>1937</Port>
<HTTPIdent2Response></HTTPIdent2Response>
<SSLConfig>
<KeyStorePath>${com.wowza.wms.context.VHostConfigHome}/conf/keystore.jks</KeyStorePath>
<KeyStorePassword>somePassword</KeyStorePassword>
</SSLConfig>
...
</HostPort>
You can playback over RTSPS with Wowza Streaming Engine.
With your SSL certificate in place, try this to test playback using the sample file provided in [install-dir]/content/sample.mp4 and the provided vod application.
ffplay rtsps://[your-wowza/cert-domain]:443/vod/mp4:sample.mp4

Able to run live stream on wowza on my local,but not able to see the live streaming on other system in LAN

i getting a problem. on my localhost live stream is working properly with wowza media server and using live encoder but when i run on client LAN Network it gives==
server not found: rtmp://localhost:80/live not found
what is the problem ...
firewall issue or some other
my wowza ip address is rtmp://localhost:1935/live
stream:livestream
"localhost" points to own computer.
If you install a rtmp server on your own computer, that setting will allow you to test but nobody else will be able to access from a different computer because setting will point to their own computers.
You need to setup Red5 on a server (accessible by all clients) and rtmp address based on a publicly accessible IP or domain.

http streaming using vlc, apache web server

I was wondering if you could help me in the following scenario.
Currently I am receiving a udp stream in H.264 format and would like to use vlc to transcode it to a mobile device format and turn it into a stream file which I can then serve using an apache web server.
Does anyone have a tutorial on how to accomplish this?
Thank you.
