Live streaming RTMP server written in Go.
This server accepts inbound RTMP connections (from apps like OBS), and then serves the uploaded media to viewers as HLS in realtime.
To develop this project locally, you'll need to have Go 1.16 or newer installed on your local machine.
In the root directory of the project, create a file named .env with the following contents:
API_PASSCODE=3454f56ygfdsertyuio076rseryui76These are just example values. The passcode can be any string, as long as it matches the passcode required by the livestream-api server you're running.
Once you've got a .env file, just run this to start the server:
go run .To stream into the RTMP server, you first need to have a stream ready-to-go on your livestream-api database. Then, take the stream key associated with your stream, and point your OBS stream to this URL:
rtmp://127.0.0.1/<STREAM-KEY-HERE>
When you created your stream on the livestream-api, your stream was given an identifier value. The identifier is public (unlike the stream key), and you'll need this to view your stream.
By default, in development mode, you can view your stream at this URL:
https://127.0.0.1:8081/play/<STREAM-IDENTIFIER-HERE>
You need a running livestream-api instance in order for this RTMP server to run correctly. Make sure you've set that up and it's working first.
