Question / Help Failed to connect to server when streaming to facebook live

[wailord2700]

Hi , the problem for me is that i am able to stream to other sites such as YouTube and Twitch. When i try to stream to facebook live , the "Failed to connect to server" error always comes out. Is there anything or any steps I need to take to fix this? Attached is my logfile when I am trying to stream to facebook live. Thanks!

Check Advanced configuration options: Bind to IP.
Maybe....

Maybe you have to check if your firewall is not blocking that connection

Streaming key is not permanent like Twitch`s. You have to change every time you stream
Is that your case?

no because i always copy and paste the latest key everytime before i attempt to stream

Just to addon, I used http://www.therealtimeweb.com/index.cfm/2004/10/2/fms-port-tester?CFID=9141577&CFTOKEN=34345329 and i got the results below


WIN 24,0,0,186

RTMP DEFAULT Success
RTMP 80 TimeOut
RTMP 443 Success
RTMP 1935 Success
RTMPT DEFAULT Success
RTMPT 80 Success
RTMPT 443 Success
RTMPT 1935 Success

Might this be what is causing the problem? If so , does anyone know of a way to fix the timeout?

 

[wailord2700]

Is there anyone that can help with this error? :( continued to try and troubleshoot but to no results

@R1CH , @dodgepong , @Sapiens I think this issue needs a real guru like any of you.

 

[EBrito]

@Jim , can you (or any other expert) give some advice with this issue?
Thank you.

Hello:

https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/failed-to-connect-to-server-facebook-live.59608/#post-260042

Maybe this will give you the solution

 

[wailord2700]

Will try when I reach home. However from what I see now the error code is different from mine. Nevertheless if it's still not working I will update here again.

 

[wailord2700]

I just remembered I did the test and posted the results here. It says port 80 failed but the problem is I don't know where to start to fix that error :/

You have to open ports in your router. Google yor router for instructions
