Question / Help Help With RTMP Streaming

[Kakayto]

Hey Guys,

I'm completely new to the use of two pc streaming setup, but decided to try my hand. I used the guide written by Jack0r here. After setting up the server and starting to stream, I seem to have a problem with the transcoding the stream. The server is receiving my transmission, but is not sending it to twitch. Below, I've included my configuration code for the server, just in case I'm missing something. Any help you all could give me would be appreciated.

rtmp {
server {
listen 1935;
chunk_size 4096;
application transcode {
live on;
record off;
exec avconv -i rtmp://gaming machine ip:1935/transcode/test -c:v libx264 -profile:v main -preset faster -cbr_quality 10 -re -crf 23 -r 30 -g 60 -b:v 3500k -maxrate 3500k -minrate 3500k -bufsize 7000k -acodec copy -vf crop=1920:1080:0:0 -af "volume=10dB" -f flv rtmp://gaming machine ip:1935/live/test;
}
application live {
live on;
record off;
push rtmp://live-lhr.twitch.tv/app/YOUR_TWITCH_STREAM_KEY;
}
}
}

have you replaced "YOUR_TWITCH_STREAM_KEY" with your stream key?

Also, 1080@60fps with the faster preset is VERY demanding even for a dedicated stream PC. I mean Very demanding.

I played with this a few weeks ago, and also realized that my stream was not using CBR or padding, then installing ffmpeg (which was a pain btw) I believe fixed that.

Yes, I have the Your_twitch_stream_key replaced with my actual stream key. I just didn't want to post it in the forum. Are there any good guides to installing ffmpeg?

I had to fight every step of the way through old guides. I will play with it tonight and send you my config, but at least I got mine to stream so I can get you there.

as for ffmpeg, it was a pain since I had to get deps from several different sources which I havent quite figured out if I broke anything else doing this. Its a steamOS box with debian repos as well and I really didn't document my trials with ffmpeg

Cool! Thanks so much. I downloaded and installed ffmpeg on the linux server used for the transcoding and publishing from this website here. Seemed pretty straightforward. Maybe that will make a difference?

*Edit after trying the ffmpeg encoding method, nothing has changed. Still getting acknowledgement from the status page that there is an active connection feeding information into the server, but nothing coming out.
