Remove streamid

[rejexy]

Due to problems in vlc is there a way to create a broadcast without a streamid? For example, if this parameter is not set create localhost:8080/live.

It would also be great if there was access to the broadcast via the http protocol.

We also need to send and receive a stream just on the UDP port, without any StreamID (well optionally with a passphrase).

This is very important because we also need to use SRT with VLC and many other products that DO NOT support Stream ID. And if one of them finally begins to support stream ID, many others still don't!

So it is a shame that must abandon using this great SRT server just because it requires StreamID. Or is there a way to not require stream ID?

VLC will be soon have support for stream ID as mentioned here:

• https://github.com/Haivision/srt/issues/1015
• https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&p=506009

but many solutions still don't.

vmix can receive.

I can't receive any SRT streams with nightly build 4.0 of VLC, though.

SLS output (numbers as X stand for my IP) when I try to connect with VLC:

Is there anything I did wrong?

vmix can receive.

That's true, but like I wrote the whole point is that many sollutions (SRT products) still can't.

I am sending and receiving with many people using various SRT products. So I need to connect SRT with more and more different SRT products and unfortunately it looks like the situation for many at least months is going to be that many SRT products will not support StreamID.

... so is there a way to not require stream ID? or is it in a roadmap?

It looks like you may have to get a coder to do this for you.

[tomasz-lasko]

I am asking is there a way within srt-live-server to make srt-live-server not require stream ID (for input and output, i.e. an app or config that has only a UDP port but no input output domain, stream ID, etc)? or is it in srt-live-server roadmap?

@Edward-Wu could you give any hints? Thanks in advance! Much appreciated!

[tomasz-lasko]

@Edward-Wu or anybody actually - is this feature (of not requiring StreamID) in any roadmap, or work?
