Many streamers use platforms such as Twitch.tv to deliver their video content. While these platforms offer sufficient features for most regular streamers, tech-savvy professionals often require additional capabilities, such as more control over streams, the ability to provide other users to stream to them, or stream to multiple platforms. These scenarios involve the use of an RTMP server. Many streamers have switched to private RTMP servers for streaming, instead of common services such as YouTube that hold content behind advertisements. In this article, we will explore how to set up an RTMP server with NGINX for OBS streaming.<\/p>\n
NGINX is an open-source software that was designed as a web server, and now supports other applications such as reverse proxying, caching, load balancing, and media streaming, among others. The NGINX RTMP module can be used with the NGINX web server along with other open-source applications such as OBS for live streaming using HLS and RTMP protocols. Here are the system requirements for setting up the NGINX RTMP server for live streaming.<\/p>\n
While the exact procedure to set up NGINX can vary depending on the operating system, here is an overview of the process involved in setting up an RTMP Server with NGINX for OBS streaming<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n While setting up an RTMP server is possible on even a basic machine such as a Raspberry Pi, there could be dynamic IP issues with residential hosting. Additionally, there could be bandwidth issues when several streamers stream to the server. These challenges can be mitigated with dedicated OBS hosting.<\/p>\n As a Citrix and Microsoft Partner,<\/strong> Apps4Rent can host OBS and NGINX RTMP servers in the cloud on virtual machines in our top-tier SSAE-16 level datacenters or Azure.
