h.264 Output

[haferweg18]

Hello!
I am new with OBS and have the following challenge:
I don't want my OBS Studio to send to a streaming platform; but I'm looking for a way that an IP phone, which only supports h.264, can access my video stream. So the OBS should (if I see it right) be RTSP server itself.
Is this possible ? possibly with a plugin ?
Finally I need to bring the mpeg stream from a mobotix IP camera to the phone. The mobotix can't do h.264 (but only mjpeg) and the phone can't do mjpeg (but only h.264).
Thanks for your ideas!
Br,
Dennis

What a phone model can't decode mjpeg ?
motion jpeg - every frame is one jpeg
h.264 - is codec, but you need protocol e.g. rtmp, mpeg-ts or mjpeg

If you need send from OBS to phone check NDI or use correct player like vlc or browser to get MJPEG stream.

So the OBS should (if I see it right) be RTSP server itself.

I don't think OBS does that. It needs an existing server to stream to. It's not a server itself.

But, there are several restreamers that you can install, either on the same machine or on a different machine on the same network. Doesn't really matter as long as OBS can see it, and it takes less computing power than OBS because it's not encoding. It only copies and distributes what already exists.

The restreamer provides the server that OBS wants, and everything else connects to that as well. Or the restreamer is also a client for several other servers.

Here's a free one to start with:

And like I said, there are others too, with varying prices from free to sell-your-house, and a range of capabilities that don't necessarily match the prices.
