Live stream doesn’t work

[barrunning]

I have looked at the past issues and still can’t get the live stream to work. Changed from https to http and from 444 to 8080.

post the logs, configuration, etc, so someone can help you

[barrunning]

Logs I have no idea about.

Player url http:// website:8080/live/ long number.m3u8 Live url https://website/plugin/Live/?c=torque+athletics Server url rtmp ://website/live?p=

First disable/unckeck the adaptive mode. If you want to use it check this first https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo/wiki/Adaptive-Bitrates-on-Livestream

them if your site is https your player and server URLs must be https as well, usually we use port 444 for it

[barrunning]

Ok will do. It was set up with https and 444. It didn’t work that way either. I switched it after reading previous issues.

check your nginx log file

[barrunning]

I have no idea how to check that. What would I be looking for when checking it?

tail -f /usr/local/nginx/logs/error.log

Post a more complete log here

also post your nginx.conf

also uncheck the useAdaptive mode. I am pretty sure you did not configure it.

that is how to configure the adaptive https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo/wiki/Adaptive-Bitrates-on-Livestream

This was my bad. Not sure why it wasn't obvious to me but I did not have the HLS plugin. Once I got that installed everything worked.

[jjacobs1]

Has anyone modified one of the ffmpeg streams to 1080? Not sure what value to use for -bufsize and hls_variant_hi BANDWIDTH.

-c:a aac -strict -2 -b:a 128k -c:v libx264 -vf scale=-2:1080 -g 48 -keyint_min 48 -sc_threshold 0 -bf 3 -b_strategy 2 -b:v 4200k -maxrate 6000k -bufsize 100000k -b:a 128k -f hls -hls_time 6 -hls_list_size 0 -f flv rtmp://localhost/adaptive/$name_hi;

@jjacobs1 -bufsize should be the double of the targeted bitrate . In your case -b:v 4200k , then -bufsize should be around 8400k . Putting this value too low , will be rechecking the bitrate so often and you'll stress the encoder and resulting in very poor quality when the encoder could have done a better job . Same happens if this value is too high , the encoder will not check if your bitrate is the correct one , and you may end up with very high bitrate then indicated .
