RTMP
Configuration
Providers ingests streams that come from a media source. OvenMediaEngine supports RTMP protocol. You can set it in the configuration as follows:
1
<Server>
2
	...
3
	<Bind>
4
		<Providers>
5
			<RTMP>
6
			  <Port>1935</Port>
7
			</RTMP>
8
		</Providers>
9
	</Bind>

When a live source inputs to the <Application>, a stream is automatically created in the <Application>. The created stream is passed to Encoder and Publisher.
RTMP live stream
If you set up a live stream using an RTMP-based encoder, you need to set the following in Server.xml:
1
<Application>
2
   <Providers>
3
      <RTMP>
4
         <BlockDuplicateStreamName>true</BlockDuplicateStreamName>
5
      </RTMP>
6
   </Providers>
7
<Application>

<BlockDuplicateStreamName> is a policy for streams that are inputted as overlaps.
<BlockDuplicateStreamName> works with the following rules:
Value
Description
true
Default Rejects the new stream inputted as overlap and maintains the existing stream.
false
Accepts a new stream inputted as overlap and disconnects the existing stream.
To allow the duplicated stream name feature can cause several problems. When a new stream is an input the player may be disconnected. Most encoders have the ability to automatically reconnect when it is disconnected from the server. As a result, two encoders compete and disconnect each other, which can cause serious problems in playback.
Publish
If you want to publish the source stream, you need to set the following in the Encoder:
URL        RTMP://<OvenMediaEngine IP>[:<RTMP Listen Port>]/<App Name]> 
Stream Key Stream Name                                                  
If you use the default configuration, the <RTMP><ListenPort> is 1935, which is the default port for RTMP. So it can be omitted. Also, since the Application named app is created by default in the default configuration, you can enter app in the [App Name]. You can define a Stream Key and use it in the Encoder, and the Streaming URL will change according to the Stream Key.
Moreover, some encoders can include a stream key in the URL, and if you use these encoders, you need to set it as follows:
URL RTMP://<OvenMediaEngine IP>[:<RTMP Listen Port>/<App Name>/<Stream Name>
Example with OvenLiveKit (OvenStreamEncoder)
If you are using the default configuration, press the URL button in the top right corner of OvenStreamEnoder, and enter the URL as shown below:
Also, <App name> and <Stream name> can be changed and used as desired in the configuration.
Example with OBS
If you use the default configuration, set the OBS as follows:
You can set the Stream Key to any name you like at any time.
Streaming URL
If you use the default configuration, you can stream with the following streaming URLs when you start broadcasting to OBS:
WebRTC   ws://192.168.0.1:3333/app/stream
HLS      http://192.168.0.1:8080/app/stream/playlist.m3u8
