I have installed Red5 on the media server and configured VideoWhisper RTMP Application there, which is accessed from the hosting demo. The application demo show/enable webcam, but when I click on record the application only take a snapshot but didn't push the video to media server.
Anybody experience this before?... here is my screenshot of the RTMP url on videowhisper test tool:

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.
Context
I have a Live-stream application implemented with AgoraWebSDK NG. The application streams to a RTMP server. The application uses setLiveTranscoding method of Agora client to set some configuration for the live streaming, including transcodingUsers, which setups the users layouts configuration in the live streaming. During the live streaming, the video is being recorded through the RTMP server, so it can be acceded later as a video asset
Problem
If the host has stopped their camera then the RTMP server will record the video with the last image of the host video at the moment they stopped their camera
So, I would like to know what is the necessary configuration to record the live streaming through the RTMP server with an image (user avatar) when the host has stopped their camera
I have multiple Raspberry Pi Devices with the native camera in my home and office (PUBLISHERS). - Publisher(Pi) they are on a local network behind a firewall/router and connected to the internet.
I have an EC2 webserver (BROKER). It is publicly accessible over a public IP Address.
I have an Android App on my phone. It has internet connectivity through a 4G Network. (SUBSCRIBER/CONSUMER/CLIENT)
I am trying to view the live feed of each of the raspberry cameras on my Android app. The problem is more conceptual than technical. I am unable to decide what should be the right approach and most efficient way to achieve this in terms of costs and latency.
Approaches, I have figured out based on my research on this:-
Approach 1:
1. Stream the camera in RTSP / RTMP in the pi device via raspvid/ffmpeg
2. Have a code in the pi device that reads the RTSP stream saves it to AWS S3
3. Have a middleware that transcodes the RTSP stream and saves it in a format accessible to mobile app via S3 url
Approach 2:
1. Stream the camera in RTSP / RTMP in the pi device via raspvid/ffmpeg
2. Have a code in the pi device that reads the RTSP stream pushes it to a remote frame gathering (ImageZMQ) server. EC2 can be used here.
3. Have a middleware that transcodes the frames to an RTSP stream and saves it in a format on S3 that is accessible to the mobile app via pubicly accessible S3 URL
Approach 3:
1. Stream the camera in WebRTC format by launching a web browser.
2. Send the stream to a media server like Kurento. EC2 can be used here.
3. Generate a unique webrtc pubicly accessible url to each stream
4. Access the webrtc video via mobile app
Approach 4:
1. Stream the camera in RTSP / RTMP in the pi device via raspvid/ffmpeg
2. Grab the stream via Amazon Kinesis client installed on the devices.
3. Publish the Kinesis stream to AWS Cloud
4. Have a Lambda store to transcode it and store it in S3
5. Have the mobile app access the video stream via publicly accessible S3 url
Approach 5: - (Fairly complex involving STUN/TURN Servers to bypass NAT)
1. Stream the camera in RTSP / RTMP in the pi device via raspvid/ffmpeg
2. Grab the stream and send it a to mediaserver like gstreamer. EC2 can be used here.
3. Use a live555 proxy or ngnix RTMP module. EC2 can be used here.
4. Generate a unique publicly accessible link for each device but running on the same port
5. Have the mobile app access the video stream via the device link
I am open to any video format as long as I am not using any third-party commercial solution like wowza, antmedia, dataplicity, aws kinesis. The most important constraint I have is all my devices are headless and I can only access them via ssh. As such I excluded any such option that involves manual setup or interacting with desktop interface of the PUBLISHERS(Pis). I can create scripts to automate all of this.
End goal is I wish to have public urls for each of Raspberry PI cams but all running on the same socket/port number like this:-
rtsp://cam1-frontdesk.mycompany.com:554/
rtsp://cam2-backoffice.mycompany.com:554/
rtsp://cam3-home.mycompany.com:554/
rtsp://cam4-club.mycompany.com:554/
Basically, with raspvid/ffmpeg you have a simple IP camera. So any architecture applicable in this case would work for you. As example, take a look at this architecture where you install Nimble Streamer on your AWS machine, then process that stream there and get URL for playback (HLS or any other suitable protocol). That URL can be played in any hardware/software player upon your choice and be inserted into any web player as well.
So it's your Approach 3 which HLS instead of WerRTC.
Which solution is appropriate depends mostly on whether you're viewing the video in a native application (e.g. VLC) and what you mean by "live" -- typically, "live streaming" uses HLS, which typically adds at least 5 and often closer to 30 seconds of latency as it downloads and plays sequences of short video files.
If you can tolerate the latency, HLS is the simplest solution.
If you want something real-time (< 0.300 seconds of latency) and are viewing the video via a native app, RTSP is the simplest solution.
If you would like something real-time and would like to view it in the web browser, Broadway.js, Media Source Extensions (MSE), and WebRTC are the three available solutions. Broadway.js is limited to H.264 Baseline, and only performs decently with GPU-accelerated canvas support -- not supported on all browsers. MSE is likewise not supported on all browsers. WebRTC has the best support, but is also the most complex of the three.
For real-time video from a Raspberry Pi that works in any browser, take a look at Alohacam.io (full disclosure: I am the author).
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.
I have one website say social network hosted on BlueHost. THen i need a RTMP hosting server to enable live video chat. Bluehost doesn't provide it. Is it possible i can host the video chat part on another service that runs RTMP and connect the two sites?
Yes, you can freely embed information from another server to your main site.
Depending on implementation, you probably have to host the Flash stream player on the same server that is hosting the RTMP. This is because the same origin policy controls what servers the Flash applet can connect to.
The easiest solution may be to use an iframe to embed the video chat.
