Live Streaming

[nightstryke]

Well I've followed the directions and I've gotten as far as I can connect and even send the stream signal to the server, but the Flash Live player shows rtmpconnectfailure error. What am I doing wrong, did I overlook a setting?

[DanielnetoDotCom]

hi there are some fine tunes to do. now we do not use flash player anymore , we use HTML5 player and hls protocol . the video tutorial show you how to use rtmp protocol and flash player . if you want to use it there are a release on git hub that uses rtmp. but I deeply recommend you to use the HTML5 player, because it is compatible with mobile devices . fell free to ask more details

[DanielnetoDotCom]

take a look on this https://github.com/DanielnetoDotCom/YouPHPTube/issues/115 there are some instructions how to make it work

[DanielnetoDotCom]

if you are still having a problem to configure fell free to ask help on https://www.Youphptube.com/services

[nightstryke]

There's one problem, your services page doesn't have any option for just paid support. I don't want to use your servers or vps, I have my own. If there was maybe a paid support option by the hour or something that might be something I'd be interested in.

Also I've got the base YoupPHPTube with Encoder working, RTMP Server, Live Chat works, but the Webcam and Live Player do not work. So maybe you're missing a configuration options/installation instructions in the wiki.

hi drop me an email and we can talk about this

Alright I think the live stream isn't working because of this configuration.

{"button_title":"LIVE","server":"rtmp://[nigix-server]/live","playerServer":"https://[nigix-server]:444/live","stats":"http://[nigix-server]:8080/stats"}

The part in bold is the problem I think. Is there a way to get it working without using SSL? What would i need to edit in the nginx.conf to achieve this?

[DanielnetoDotCom]

if your site is SSL, the player also must be SSL, but if is not, you can change it with no problem This must be your nginx url:port

[nightstryke]

Alright my site is not ssl, so what would bet the optimal nginx.conf setting for it without SSL?

[DanielnetoDotCom]

I do not have an non SSL nginx config sample, but should not be hard to configure (Actually should be easier), just remove the ssl section of it.

[nightstryke]

I've tried that, but the player won't play video, doesn't give me an error just no video.

I'll investigate further and get back to you on it.

[DanielnetoDotCom]

what is your URL, can you give me admin access to your youphptube?

[nightstryke]

No I'd like to try and figure this one out myself. Alright i've gotten far enough where I can stream to the rtmp server and it says live but apparently even using this configuration I get an error 403.

{"button_title":"LIVE","server":"rtmp://[nigix-server]/live","playerServer":"http://[nigix-server]:8080/live","stats":"http://[nigix-server]:8080/stats"}

The bold domain url gives me an error 403 and I can't figure out why. I can stream to the server, the website just can't connect and view the stream being played because of an error 403.

[nightstryke]

Alright so I've come to the conclusion that it's a problem with the webcam.swf and the live player.swf.

I fixed the error 403 by this setting in the nginx.conf under location /live: autoindex on;

While I know this is not the ideal situation, I needed to do so for testing. What I've come to the conclusion is that for some reason the live player just won't play the stream even through that so there's something broken not working in between.

I'm thinking it might be because I'm using the release.zip file and not cloning the github. Unfortunately I don't have anyway of changing it as I do not no which file is the config file for YouPHPTube that stores the database username and password.

nginx conf without SSL

                        index  index.html index.htm;
                }

very important to read the new configuration sudo /usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx -s reload

and in youPHPTube plugin {"button_title":"LIVE","server":"rtmp://[nigix-server]/live","playerServer":"http://[nigix-server]:8080/live","stats":"http://[nigix-server]:8080/stats"}

[nightstryke]

I've already tried that before, couldn't see the stream without autoindex on;

[DanielnetoDotCom]

@nightstryke I have few comments. At the first release of RTMP we had an webcam.swf. But after that we prefer to use HLS to play videos, as HLS is not necessary have a flash player to play. It works perfectly with HTML5 just as it does on mobile devices. the webcam.swf file has stopped working, so that in the most recent versions it has been removed. We do not know how to replace webcam capture yet, but professional Streamers use programs like OBS do not streamers directly from the site. On mobile devices just download some RTMP streamer app, I've used this one here successfully https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wmspanel.larix_broadcaster&hl=en

I hope make it clear now

[nightstryke]

Where is the database config file located? I want to try updating youphptube from the github master to see if that might be the issue.

do you mean this? https://github.com/DanielnetoDotCom/YouPHPTube/blob/master/install/database.sql

[nightstryke]

No the file that stores the dB user name password and dB name that allows youphptube to connect to mysql?

[DanielnetoDotCom]

ho sorry, look for Youphptube-dir/videos/configuration.php

[nightstryke]

Alright, so good news bad news time. I've got live streaming working to the player from nginx, but it when i stream to the nginx rtmp server, it does not show up as live in youphptube. What did I do wrong? The streaming player works, the nginx rtmp server works, but the site isn't showing any live streams at the top.

[DanielnetoDotCom]

How is your stats?

{"button_title":"LIVE","server":"rtmp://[nigix-server]/live","playerServer":"http://[nigix-server]:8080/live"**,"stats":"http://[nigix-server]:8080/stats"**}

Is that working?

[DanielnetoDotCom]

Look at demo site: https://demo.youphptube.com:444/stat

[nightstryke]

No this is my problem now, just when I'm so close to having a fully functional website.

I may have not mentioned it, but I'm an American and while I see nothing wrong with the site i'm working on and using youphptube for (Nothing bad.) I understand that not everyone is American and will not agree with my content or understand it so that's why i haven't listed my url and what not. It's not that I don't trust you, I'd rather not have you freak out because you're not American and do not understand.

[mikweb2017]

I had the same problem trying to rescue the plugin configuration again and try to clear the browser cache

[DanielnetoDotCom]

@mikweb2017 how is your stats? Is it working

and @nightstryke do not worry :)

[mikweb2017]

yes for me Working fine

[nightstryke]

Yup everything is working great for me, aside from the live indication option not registering on the site. :(

[DanielnetoDotCom]

I guess I know what is wrong. You have to mark listed transmition to make it appear

[nightstryke]

I had that checked like that, should it not have been?

[DanielnetoDotCom]

If is not checked will not appear the connection on the top bar

[nightstryke]

Alright I will try again, but I am sure it was checked.

Tried both settings, still not listing it as live. Is there another setting I'm missing?

[mikweb2017]

try browser cache and save configuration plugin

[nightstryke]

Tried that too.

[DanielnetoDotCom]

Try to check the ajax answer of top menu (use developer tool bar)

[pcmcis]

Hi,

First let me say a big THANK YOU for making this project possible!!

@nightstryke Please try the following. It worked for me. Copy the code from the Wiki page https://github.com/DanielnetoDotCom/YouPHPTube/wiki/Set-up-my-own-Stream-Server

{"button_title":"LIVE","server":"rtmp://[nigix-server]/live","playerServer":"https://[nigix-server]:444/live","stats":"http://[nigix-server]:8080/stats"}

update the code as needed to match your configuration, press “EDIT” to see the LIVE “Plugin Form”, delete the existing code, paste the new code and save.

I do not remember if I pressed the “Run Database Script “ button again.

After that, the “LIVE” was enabled and I could stream without problems. I hope this helps!

[DanielnetoDotCom]

@pcmcis thanks for your help, but "Run Database script" button is needed just once ever.

[nightstryke]

Alright I've tried reinstalling the script/site several times and still nothing. I can stream, but the Live indicator says I'm offline even though I'm connected with OBS and streaming to nginx and the webplayer for the stream plays working video.

[nightstryke]

@DanielnetoDotCom I don't know what you did, but the Live Stream works now that I've downloaded the latest Github version!

[DanielnetoDotCom]

I do not know what was wrong, but I am glad it is working now.

[ldgv]

Hi guys.

Is or no possible enable SSL for rtmp?

[DanielnetoDotCom]

it is, I use port 444 for it

there are many threads regarding it https://github.com/DanielnetoDotCom/YouPHPTube/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=444
