No Twitch Stream - No output errors #24

Closed MrJay84 closed 4 months ago

MrJay84 commented 4 months ago

I'm installing OTCS on a RPI 4B using the 64bit OS Bookworm

I've installed OTCS as per the instructions for the 64 bit OS and all the dependancies. Stream key has been checked and rechecked as well as settings in the playlist.txt

I can successfully start main.py with a successful output in the terminal windows, including both FFMPG processes running yet there's no stream to Twitch. Is there a way to check the stream locally?

Can you shed any light on this behaviour? Is there an error log i'm missing? Is there a way to check the stream locally?

Check your play history file in /home/admin/Documents/mr-otcs/GamesMaster/play_history.txt. Exceptions from the RTMP process are written there.

If the same video is appearing multiple times, the usual cause is that the RTMP process is failing to start. Check that the nginx service is started and that the rtmp block is in the nginx.conf file.

Gong, it seems i was pushing the stream to Twitch at 60fps, dropping this to 30fps as fixed the issue.

One last question, can I stream to Twitch and YouTube concurrently? Or would this have to done at the NGINX level?

If you're using a Raspberry Pi, its h264 hardware encoder is only capable of up to 1080p30. On other platforms, ffmpeg should be capable of transcoding well above that if you adjust the MEDIA_PLAYER_ARGUMENTS accordingly.

I haven't tried to push to multiple RTMP servers at once as that's out of scope for this project. You may need to create multiple nginx server blocks listening on different ports to each receive the concatenated videos, but I haven't tested this. See this Super User answer for more information on the ffmpeg command: https://superuser.com/a/1224820

I was a mistake on my part. FYI there's a project called restreamer which runs in a container for pushing RMTP to multiple sources.

Thanks for all your help mate!
