I am using StreamYard services to do a live stream to multiple destinations like Facebook and youtube. I want to create a mobile app using flutter that can receive that stream and use it (i mean to display the live stream). Streamyard uses only RMTP for a custom destination.
My question is: is there a way to create and host a custom RMTP online that can be shared between the StreamYard platform and my mobile app. I want it to work whenever I do live stream from the StreamYard it will be shared to Facebook, youtube, and my mobile app as well. I have done a lot of research but i find out the only way is to use windows or linux as a host, which i want it online.
Also, alternative solutions are welcome like using webRTC.
Because you use StreamYard, I think you need to use the INVITE feature to start a Video Chat then convert to live streaming, it works like bellow:
UserA --WebRTC--->---+
+--->- StreamYeard -->-RTMP-->- YouTube/Twitch.tv
UserB --WebRTC---->--+
You need to buy a non-free plan to support Custom RTMP destinations to publish the RTMP to your media server like SRS or Nginx, then you could broadcast to multiple destination, like this:
+->-- YouTube/Twitch.tv
|
StreamYeard ->-RTMP-+->- Custom RTMP destinations --+--RTMP-> YouTube/Twitch.tv
(SRS/Nginx media server) |
+--HLS/FLV--> Flutter App
Note: Once streaming to your RTMP server or video cloud platform, you could covert to HLS/HTTP-FLV for your FlutterAPP to play it. About player and protocol, please read here. It depends on which part you want to build by yourself, and it's possible to build by open-source projects.
Note: Note that you could use StreamYeard to streaming to YouTube and Custom RTMP server, or use FFmpeg to pull stream from your custom server then publish to any other live streaming platform.
For this solution, the StreamYeard actually plays as Video Chat or video conference platform, like ZOOM. It will transcode each WebRTC stream and mix all the audio and videos to one RTMP stream.
So you could use WebRTC server to build your StreamYeard, then use FFmpeg to transcode and mix the streams, because it is off topic so let me stop here.

What direction should i look for Flutter camera audio/video stream to RTMP Media Server?
Developing a live broadcasting solution,
Our attempts so far;
I. PWA approach, Antmedia WebRTC SDK was used to establish WebRTC ICE candidate connection between web mobile and antmedia server.
Problem faced: seems connection too heavy for some phones. One of my phones was able to stream through.
II. Looked in the direction of hybrid, i have been searching internet for cordova/ionic SDK for live streaming to RTMP Media Server, no luck so far. Found bambuser https://www.npmjs.com/package/cordova-plugin-bambuser, seems the SDK is tied to their live streaming services.
Please, what do i need to know? Also need expert review on Flutter camera plugin Image-Bytes access + ffmpeg for encoding and transporting streams to RTMP url rtmp://SERVER_NAME/LiveApp/STREAM_ID
I am working on a live streaming project and came across many services like Wowza, Dacast, Ant etc. The one suits for my requirement uses RTMP protocol and so I will have to use an encoding software like OBS to publish the stream. I actually want to publish the stream from browser/iOS/Android.
I came across this FB presentation and seems like they are using RTMP protocol. FB is successfully doing the broadcast from the browser somehow.
Can I get an insight into how the things would be working with FB / similar RTMP based live streaming apps? Thanks in advance.
Facebook supports RTMP ingest of video (used by people who utilize the Live API), as well as WebRTC ingest for browser clients.
RTMP is not used as a distribution protocol. For that, there is DASH.
I am making an iPhone application which will send video to a server for live streaming and I wanted to know that do we require a media server for this?
Yeah, You need to create a media server. You can send your streams to server from mobile using one of the many SDKs available.
For media server:
There are many ways that you can setup a server. For now lets see RTMP server which could be used with nginx. You can use hls(HTTP Live Streaming) as stated in above with this package. Here, the RTMP Server will receive the stream and converts it into the hls recommended format and HTTP server will distribute the streaming.
This link will provide you more information.
To distribute your media content you can use an ordinary HTTP server. If you want to provide live content, you need a server component that encapsulates your content into a format that can be distributed over HTTP.
Apple provides a suite of command line utilities that allow you to prepare your content. Just search for "HTTP Live Streaming Tools" at https://developer.apple.com/downloads
The HTTP Live Streaming Overview also is a good starting point.
I'm looking for a way to create an app that will allow captured camera video to be streamed on a computer. For example, one person could be walking an iPhone around a room and another person could have that video streamed on their computer. Something kind of like a one-way Facetime except the receiver is on a computer. Also, I can't just use an existing app as later I would like to change the program to do some computer vision processing on the incoming data.
At the moment, I've found that AV Foundation should be the correct option for the video capture (from this question). However, I'm having difficulty finding the method by which I can actually stream this data. In particular, searching for how to create the apps on the iPhone frequently results in existing apps that do the task, but not how to create the app.
Can anyone give me a pointer to the information on how to stream the video capture from the iPhone? Thank you much.
You can use "Wowza media Server" for Streaming purpose
For wowza media server doenload :
Wowza Download
After installing wowza Now you need to set up live setting in wowza for that purpose you need:
Setting Up Live Application
For iOS side there is library is useful for video streaming using RTMP connection
You can get Library at
RTMP library for Streaming
Library example
RTMP library for Streaming example
In this good example of Streaming from iOS side
I had success with ANGL lib and Wowza media server. It gives smooths RTMP stream.
I am using Flash Media server 4.5 and i read the tutorial if i want to stream the live feed, i may need to use the media live encoder. but what i found in media encoder is i have to manually setup everything and it only support camera devices.
But in my case i have multiple video files keep received from another program, my goal is use the Flash Media server to perform a live boardcasting with these video file one by one.
That means when client watching the streaming, they will not notice the server is play mov1, then mov2, then mov4, then mov5... and so on.
Also can FMS dynamically create a new streaming session (invoke by code), so that when client A uploading some video files to the server, the FMS open a new streaming session only stream cilent A video files?
Can FMS achieve such purposes? any tutorial provided would be very helpful!
Edit for Open Bounty
I want to basically deliver a live stream of video where a list of videos are source. I am currently using Flash Media Server with Cloudfront CDN to deliver content. So if I have video1, video2, and video3. I want to play them back to back as a live stream (so no skipping ahead in video), is it possible to do this? Bounty goes to clever workaround. Think of this as a television channel.
i have been working on the live streaming technologies for the past 1and half year . There is no option in flash live encoder for any file encoding.
1.To encoder your file you can use your dvd player devices or some thing else which supports usb devices playback options.and use the dvd player output to broadcast using flash media live encoder.
2.And the another set is to setup windows media encoder that supports file encoding(no need od dvd player) but it supports only windows media services.
At present i live webcast video file in this way only for my company http://www.malar.tv/live.php
