RTMPS support for Facebook Live API's Upcoming Requirement #1397

Closed JosueAChavez closed 5 years ago

JosueAChavez commented 5 years ago

Facebook is planning to deprecate RTMP on May 1st.

Using the SSL option for my RTMP connection changes the Server URL from rtmp://live-api-s.facebook.com:80/rtmp/ to rtmps://live-api-s.facebook.com:443/rtmp/.

When I insert that URL paired with my streaming key in my nginx.conf file, I'm returned with an invalid port message that looks like

nginx: [emerg] invalid port in url "rtmps://live-api-s.facebook.com:443/rtmp/some_secret_key" in C:\nginx 1.7.11.3 Gryphon/conf/nginx.conf:187

I suspect that the port rtmps is unknown.

Are there any workarounds to use this module with RTMPS? This module is very efficient compared to alternatives solutions I found (ffmpeg).

I'm using nginx 1.7.11.3 Gryphon on Windows 10.

jwainwright87 commented 5 years ago

I've just seen the same @JosueAChavez and started panicking. I am using nginx on a raspberry pi to push streams to facebook live and wondering how to do this after 1st May 2019.

I understand at this time that nginx does not support RTMPS however from doing some searching, it looks like you can use stunnel somehow. This looks above my level so I am reluctant to try it on my raspberry pi server.

duoporcoduo commented 5 years ago

I'm on the same issue, I use a command today:

push rtmp://live-api-s.facebook.com:80/rtmp/KEY;

push rtmp://x.rtmp.youtube.com/live2/KEY;

When replacing the address with rtmps the server does not rise.

Can someone help?

ForrestScott commented 5 years ago

I have the same issue as I also use the RTMP module to stream to FaceBook live.

jwainwright87 commented 5 years ago

I am looking at nimble streamer as an alternative, apparently that supports RTMPS

ForrestScott commented 5 years ago

Nimble appears to require a subscription? If so, that's not for me.

Lax commented 5 years ago

I have a solution to run an stunnel and publish to the rtmps:// address.

I will write a brief into doc in a few days Here a link to the steps and key config "RTMP/RTMPS relay with stunnel"

Yes, you need to choose another port if nginx is listening on :1935

ForrestScott commented 5 years ago

Lax, I had been reading about stunnel but couldn't figure out how to configure it. Thank you so much for the tutorial!!! I'll give it a shot!

One question: Since nginx is listening on port 1935, doesn't stunnel need to be listening to a different port since they are running on the same machine?

I'm assuming it will be 443

ForrestScott commented 5 years ago

jwainwright87, Lax's tutorial has nginx and stunnel running on the same box so they both can't be listening to port 1935. For my testing, right or wrong, I chose port 207 (an unused AppleTalk port) for stunnel to listen on.

Initial testing shows that Lax's example works for me, however I did have to remove the "include = /etc/stunnel/conf.d" line though. It appears to me that right now FB will accept an RTMP or an RTMPS stream regardless of the SLL switch setting.

I use OBS to stream and nginx to relay to FB, YT and a private 3rd party web site. So here is how it works: obs -> nginx (port 1935) -> stunnel (port 207) -> FB. I run nginx and now stunnel on a ubuntu 18.04 server.

jwainwright87 commented 5 years ago

@ForrestScott That's ace I'll give that a go. I got a bit confused during one tutorial it was talking about setting up a certificate from the client side. Do you know it stunnel sorts all that out for you. Also, how do you sent the rtmps feed instead of the rtmp address?

Thanks in advanced

franMx commented 5 years ago

HI, I'm trying this on a windows machine. Any idea on the configuration to work properly on stunnel? Tried: [fb-live] client = yes accept = 127.0.0.1:1935 connect = live-api-s.facebook.com:443 verifyChain = no

but got: Service [fb-live] needs authentication to prevent MITM attacks

ForrestScott commented 5 years ago

@jwainwright87 I didn't have to do anything with security certificates. I think that is what the "verifyChain = no" line is about. But I do wonder about that.

I changed my nginx push to FB to this: "push rtmp://127.0.0.1:207/rtmp/;" Again, I am using port 207 for stunnel.

@franMx I got the same message but in my case I think it can be ignored since nginx and stunnel are communicating on the same machine.

franMx commented 5 years ago

Thanks, @ForrestScott unfortunately got this one.

Would you mind sharing your conf?

ForrestScott commented 5 years ago

@franMx , that looks exactly what I see in my log.

Here is my conf:

setuid = stunnel4 setgid = stunnel4 pid = /tmp/stunnel.pid output = /var/log/stunnel4/stunnel.log ;include = /etc/stunnel/conf.d

[fb-live] client = yes accept = 127.0.0.1:207 connect = live-api-s.facebook.com:443 verifyChain = no

franMx commented 5 years ago

Thanks @ForrestScott, it's working now. On windows stunnel didn't modified the first part, just second block.

JosueAChavez commented 5 years ago

Thank you @Lax for the solution! I tried it and it works perfectly and with little to none performance hiccups 🙌

I wrote instructions for those who are using this on Windows. We are all not doomed after all!

Yes, you need to choose another port for stunnel if Nginx is already listening on :1935. (document updated)

I did have a issue when installing stunnel4. For some reason it would not let me create the stunnel.conf in bash, so I had to manually create the conf file using nano and input the code in there.

Any help would be much appreciated.

I am also getting this when entering the code for the config file: sudo cat < /etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf

@jwainwright87 , are you running your commands as sudo? It's required but not mentioned in Lax's guide.

jwainwright87 commented 5 years ago

@ForrestScott Yes, sorry forgot to mention that. I am also running on Debian Stretch

duoporcoduo commented 5 years ago

@Lax, you saved my day, it worked out right here, thank you!

jwainwright87 commented 5 years ago

@ForrestScott SOLVED my problem.

Issue I had was I needed to ENABLE=1 stunnel in /etc/default/stunnel4

When I ran the restart, it all worked.

Did you actually updated the document? It's still on port 1935 ;-) (and I can't get it to work)

nhalstead commented 5 years ago

Just a note as well, Facebook is closing the usage of RTMP and only allowing RTMPs starting November 1st 2019. Facebook has reset static/persistent stream keys and in addition the stream defaults for the user to use is RTMPs, you just need to uncheck the box that is "Use a secure connection (SSL)".

@Yesha052 You're trying to play a URL that you are supposed to send data TO in Exoplayer?

Yesha052 commented 5 years ago

@colleenkhenry No, Actually, I need to integrate facebook live in my app. I am getting this rtmps URL in the response from GraphAPI, now I need to play this as a live facebook video. How can I play this URL I am stuck.

nhalstead commented 5 years ago

@Yesha052 If you would look at the URL that you have posted, that is a Stream Key to Facebook's RTMP (with SSL) for Streaming TO Facebook.

This feed is ONE WAY. So feeding this into ExoPlayer will not work. Check for a different link in the the OG API. Chances are, Facebook will not give you a direct link to get the video feed FROM Facebook servers, you'll probability get a link to the post or something such as that.

In addition this Issue that you are having is NOT related to this issue, Either create a new Issue and work out of that or if you already have one work from that ticket.

Is there anyway to pass the Facebook streaming key as a dynamic parameter in push directive ? I have been banging my head for the past 2 days to do it. Any help is much appreciated ! Thanks in advance !

threehappypenguins commented 4 years ago

I tried Lax's instructions, and also tried ForrestScott's changes in the stunnel.conf file, and I still can't get my live stream to show up in Facebook. When I type in nano /var/log/stunnel4/stunnel.log the log is blank.

When I type in systemctl restart stunnel4 && systemctl status stunnel4 I get:

Is this normal? How do I even go about figuring out where its going wrong when the log is blank too?

threehappypenguins commented 4 years ago

I'm starting to think that maybe this is a port forwarding issue for me. So when I created my nginx server, I did so on my Odroid HC2. Because I need access to port 80 on it, in the nginx.conf file, I changed the listen address from 80 to 8725 (made up number). So then in port forward, I have external port 1935 forwarded to internal port 8725 (for my Odroid's internal IP address).

So then I thought that I should forward internal port 19350 (for stunnel) to 8725 as well. But I still can't receive the Facebook stream. Thoughts?

threehappypenguins commented 4 years ago

I had to give up on my Odroid. I ended up signing up for Amazon AWS EC2 and installed nginx and stunnel on Ubuntu. I used ForrestScott's setup for stunnel.conf but with port 19350 instead:

setuid = stunnel4
setgid = stunnel4
pid = /tmp/stunnel.pid
output = /var/log/stunnel4/stunnel.log
;include = /etc/stunnel/conf.d

[fb-live]
client = yes
accept = 127.0.0.1:19350
connect = live-api-s.facebook.com:443
verifyChain = no

Apparently, what is supposed to show when I restart stunnel with systemctl restart stunnel4 && systemctl status stunnel4 is

I really don't know why this bug report is full of so much prattle.

stunnel works fine.

siniztr commented 4 years ago

OK so I have the RTMP server running, and can do live streams to a website. I have set up the stunnel4 as done in the instructions and am not getting any error, however Facebook is not seeing an incoming stream, and checking netstat does not show a connection outbound to facebook. I do see the stream listening but not too sure if the RTMP server is connecting to the tunnel.

that solved my errors in the setup made with these instructions: https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/facebook-to-deprecate-rtmp-from-live-api-on-5-1-2019.84978/

on Ubuntu 16.04.6:

sudo apt install stunnel4

Edit file stunnel.conf

sudo nano /etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf

setuid = stunnel4 setgid = stunnel4 pid=/tmp/stunnel.pid output = /var/log/stunnel4/stunnel.log include = /etc/stunnel/conf.d

Change in stunnel4 ENABLED=0 to ENABLED=1

sudo nano /etc/default/stunnel4

ENABLED=1

Make dir

sudo mkdir /etc/stunnel/conf.d

Edit /create file

sudo nano /etc/stunnel/conf.d/fb.conf

[fb-live] client = yes accept = 127.0.0.1:19350 connect = live-api-s.facebook.com:443

restart

sudo systemctl restart stunnel4 && systemctl status stunnel4

Edit file /usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf

from push rtmp:///; to push rtmp://127.0.0.1:19350/rtmp/;

by the way: this solution (stunnel) is using way less cpu than forwarding via FFMPEG...

shelomito12 commented 4 years ago

Hey guys, quick question:

Has anyone tried using 2 different Facebook streams on nginx and stunnel?

I'm a little bit more curious about how the stunnel config would be since both streams would use the same destination domain live-api-s.facebook.com:443

So the following would work?:

[fb-live1] client = yes accept = 127.0.0.1:19350 connect = live-api-s.facebook.com:443 verifyChain = no

[fb-live2] client = yes accept = 127.0.0.1:19360 connect = live-api-s.facebook.com:443 verifyChain = no

TheRealMattLear commented 4 years ago

It is not necessary because the hostname and port do not change, only the stream name changes. You only need a single point in stunnel.

shelomito12 commented 4 years ago

Hey guys sorry for posting this issue here but today, there was a tragedy during streaming.

A friend (DJ) connected to my nginx server via Virtual Dj and reported the following errors:

Below is my Nginx config:

# RTMP configuration

    server {
        listen 1935; # Listen on standard RTMP port

            allow publish all;
            allow play all;

            hls_playlist_length 60;

            push rtmp://127.0.0.1:1936/rtmp/FBKEY1;
            push rtmp://127.0.0.1:1936/rtmp/FBKEY2;

        }
    }
}

I want to know whether the issue was on my friends side (maybe a bad internet connection), or an issue on the Nginx server side (see below)

I saw the following lines in the nginx error log:

Same here. Happened at least 3 times in the last 3 months, soo quite annoying... stream was pushed to YouTube without any problem, so nginx worked fine, stunnel showed connection from nginx, but Facebook did not get ANY data. I suspect stunnel not connecting correctly to FB, but cannot prove it yet...

ForrestScott commented 4 years ago

I may have the same problem. Once in a great while, as in perhaps once every 3 months or so, my FB feed won't start but YT is fine. We start streaming 10 min early before the event so we catch this situation and fix it by restarting the stream.

@ForrestScott you restart the stream only or the tools too?
