Dear Kalturaians,

Just wanted to make a shout out to the wonderful Jess!

Even on a French keyboard and not so obvious OS :wink: she managed to explain how to setup a complete live streaming setup.

Thanks Jess!!

Only thing to figure out now is how to use Open Broadcaster Software to live stream to Kaltura.
FFMpeg works great.

The fragments de appear in /var/tmp/hlsme as:
-54.ts -55.ts -56.ts -57.ts -58.ts -59.ts -60.ts -61.ts -62.ts
But no manifest and the name is missing from the files…

:confused:

Thanks again!

Hi @jdeproost,

I’ll also give https://github.com/jp9000/obs-studio/wiki/Install-Instructions#linux a try later today and let you know as to my findings.

Hi @jdeproost,

I just tried OBS [obs-studio 0.16.2.1-544~trust] and it worked well for me.
It has a LOT of nice options so I’ll provide the ones I used and then maybe you can provide yours so I can try to reproduce.
In the Live Stream entry, provided the following stream URL: http://jessex:88/hlsme/obs.m3u8
On OBS->Settings->Stream:
Stream Type: Custom Streaming Server
URL: rtmp://jessex:1935/kLive/
Stream Key: obs

For sources, I used both Media Source [providing a local video file] and Screen Capture (XSHM).
Both worked well.

Can you share the settings you used? Also, upon playback, I recommend you open the browser’s dev tools and take a look at the requests being made, in particular, the manifest request [in my case http://jessex:88/hlsme/obs.m3u8].

Also, just to make sure, when you say:

You mean /var/tmp/hlsme/$STREAM_NAME.m3u8 was not created?

Great that’s it, it works now!! :relieved:
I did not think of using the “file/streamname” as the “Stream key” :blush:

Thanks again Jess!!
