VBR="1500k"
FPS="24"
QUAL="superfast"

tee_muxer_output=""
i=0

for platform in "${PLATFORMS[@]}"
do
    if (( $i > 0 )); then
        tee_muxer_output+="|"
    fi
    tee_muxer_output+="[f=fifo:fifo_format=flv:queue_size=120:drop_pkts_on_overflow=1:attempt_recovery=1:recovery_wait_time=10:max_recovery_attempts=0:restart_with_keyframe=1]${platform}"
    i=$((i+1))
done

while true :
do
    ffmpeg -threads "${THREAD_COUNT}" -loglevel warning \
        -fflags "+autobsf+genpts+discardcorrupt" -avoid_negative_ts "make_zero" -copytb 1 \
        -re -stream_loop -1 -i "${BACKGROUND}" \

Hi there, never post your rtmp url publicly, it contains your streaming key. I removed it from your message.

That's not the intended way of using the script. If you're not using tee muxer, you should at the very least remove -f tee "${tee_muxer_output}" from your ffmpeg command. What error are you getting?

[christophersaebo]

I'm getting: cannot open audio device hw:Loopback, 1, 0 (no such device), using a oracle cloud vps with ubuntu

[NoniDOTio]

Please make sure you have done all of the below:

• Install alsa
• Use ffmpeg 4.1 or higher
• run modprobe snd-aloop pcm_substreams=1
• run nano ~/.asoundrc and add the line pcm.!default { type plug slave.pcm "hw:Loopback,0,0" }

Does it work when you revert stream.sh to its original state and add your rtmp url to config.sh instead?

[christophersaebo]

I'll try when I get home

[christophersaebo]

Im getting this now:

root@yt-streams:/home/ubuntu/LiveStreamRadio# sh ./lsr.sh --start ./lsr.sh: 4: ./config.sh: Bad substitution ./lsr.sh: 29: ./config.sh: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

[christophersaebo]

Got the errors away, but this the only things that display:

I have the ffmpeg version: 4.2.4

[NoniDOTio]

You are actually meant to run the script using ./lsr.sh --start. That way the audio player and ffmpeg are started in different screens and able to run simultaneously.

[christophersaebo]

Still, it wont send out

[christophersaebo]

[christophersaebo]

So did i do something wrong?

[NoniDOTio]

Can you please try to enter the streams' screen using screen -rS lsr_stream and see whether there is any error? To leave the screen, use Ctrl + A, Ctrl + D

[christophersaebo]

Ima try

[christophersaebo]

There is no screen to be resumed matching lsr_stream.

[christophersaebo]

same happens with lsr_player

[christophersaebo]

Ive tried redoing the lsr.sh file, still nothing, it wont start up the screens

[NoniDOTio]

Can you please make a backup of your files and try with freshly cloned files. As a first step, add your youtube rtmp url to PLATFORMS=() in config.sh and remove all other rtmp urls. Then try to execute the script in the way it's intended and see if it throws any errors.

[christophersaebo]

It wont open a screen, so it wont work, and ive tried with dooing what u said it wont start ffmpeg too

[christophersaebo]

Thats the config

[NoniDOTio]

That's odd. With the same basic setup, could you please try to run ./lsr.sh --start player (make sure it's working properly by going into the screen) and then run ./stream.sh and let me know what error comes up?

[christophersaebo]

Trying now

[christophersaebo]

There is no screen to be resumed

[NoniDOTio]

Oh so the player isn't running either. What do you get when running ./player.sh?

[christophersaebo]

it runs then, but not trough ./lsr.sh --start player only on bash ./player.sh
