Question / Help Backup Stream for YouTube LIVE

[verycherry]

Hi there,

I am running a Youtube LIVE Stream using OBS from my home computer which is connected to my home internet.

However, my home internet sucks and it disconnects frequently which kills my YouTube LIVE Stream.

How can I run a backup stream at the same time using OBS?

I have 2 computers and 2 internet connections, so here is what i am thinking:
- Computer 1 connected to home internet
- Computer 2 connected to mobile internet
- Both computers have OBS installed on them
- Computer 1 will be the primary stream, and if my home internet goes down then the backup stream on Computer 2 is used automatically, without breaking my Youtube LIVE stream.

Anyone know how I can set this up inside OBS?

Thanks

Hello

i hope this can help you

If you are a Windows user you can get a nginx prebuild here
https://github.com/illuspas/nginx-rtmp-win32
because nginx-win.ecsds.eu has only very old builds and you have to search

you did NOT need an extra server box you can it run on your pc

here are all config otions

note: (All exec functions only work with linux)

If you have solved your problem yourself, please let the others know how you did it If someone else has the same problem, he will find your post, read it through, is no step closer to solving it, and has wasted some time.

Hi thanks for your advice.

I was thinking of just getting a VPS as this would be easier for me.

Do you know if I can use OBS on Windows Server 2012 or Windows Server 2016, without issues?

Thanks

UPDATE:
I solved the issue. I bought a VPS Server and installed OBS on it and everything is working fine.
Thanks for your help :)

May I ask what VPS you are using?
