![]() Livestream Studio users can now send a stream from a third-party encoder via RTMP directly to Studio. Go to 'Settings,' then 'Inputs.' You can add up to 10 RTMP input sources; save your settings. ![]() Your RTMP inputs tab(s) will appear in the lower left corner of the interface; select one to continue. ![]() Your RTMP URL and Stream Name are displayed on the right side as well as further down in the left-hand side menu. ![]() By default, authentication is turned off. If you would prefer to have a username and password affiliated with your RTMP Server, click 'Change Settings.' ![]() This will open the 'RTMP Server' tab in Studio's settings. Check 'Authentication' and enter the desired username and password; then click 'Save.' ![]() To save time copying and pasting, Studio gives you the option to 'Download FMLE Settings,' which you can then import into your encoder. ![]() In your third-party encoder (e.g., Wirecast), open your RTMP settings and enter the RTMP URL and Stream Name from Studio into the corresponding fields. ![]() Enter your RTMP Input's username and password, if applicable; save these settings. ![]() Start streaming from your third-party encoder to your RTMP Input. ![]() In the Studio multi-view, you should see the video output from your third-party encoder appear in your RTMP Input. ![]() You can transition your RTMP Input into Program, just as you would with any other source. ![]() Stop the stream from your local encoder. This will allow you to access more advanced settings in the RTMP Input module. ![]() On the left side of the module, scroll down to find more options. ![]() Checking 'Transition to Program' will automatically switch the RTMP input into Program as soon as Studio receives the stream. ![]() 'Transition to program mode,' which allows you to choose whether your input will Cut or Auto-Transition into Program once the stream is received. ![]() Next is 'Start Stream,' which can prompt Studio to automatically start streaming to your selected provider in Studio (e.g. Livestream) as soon as it receives the RTMP input. ![]() 'When RTMP stream ends' allows you to select what Studio should do when you stop streaming from your third-party encoder. ![]() The options are: No Action: Studio will not react to the RTMP stream stopping Stop Streaming and Post: Studio will end its stream and post the video on demand. Stop Streaming Draft: Studio will end its stream and save the video as a draft post (Livestream only). Stop Streaming and Delete: Studio will end its stream and delete the video on demand (Livestream only). Switch to Preview and Keep Streaming: Studio will continue streaming, but transition the Preview source into Program. ![]() Now when you start your third-party encoder, your source will appear in Program and automatically stream to your chosen provider. ![]() When you stop your thirdparty encoder, Studio will take whatever action you chose automatically. |
