Hello friends

I am streaming videos on Youtube. For this I use OBS. Not livestreams, but videos cut together.

Currently 4 are running on one server without any problems. So 4 OBS sessions are open at the same time.

But if I want to start OBS 12 times on one server, what do I have to consider for this?

What do I have to pay attention to so that it works?

What are the minimum requirements for this?
Internetconnection, GPU, CPU or Ram, what is important to run 12 OBS sessions at the same time?

Looking forward to the answers from the pros.

(Maybe someone can recommend me a server based on this?).

somewhere, the ceo of a computer company just got chills...

you are going to need a very very powerful computer to do what you are describing. I am not completely sure that it is even possible. not to mention the internet connection required to support such an undertaking. if you get this worked out, please, update this post, i want to know how this works out.

Hmm

So with Paperspace and the a4000 server it works fine. There you can run 6 streams at the same time. But when I start the 7 stream, the connection goes bad.

I use 2 such servers and can run 12 streams simultaneously. But both servers together cost me about 1000 dollars a month. And I wonder if it has to be that expensive.

For streaming pre-recorded video, OBS studio is the wrong tool. It's designed as a live production streaming client, not as a player of dead video files.

Use a command line tool like ffmpeg to stream existing video files. Can also be much better automated.
I didn't explore it further, but if the video files to stream are the same format, codec and resolution as the streaming service requirements, ffmpeg will probably not even need to recode the videos, so it's just moving data around and you don't need significant CPU resources. In this case, GPU isn't required at all.

Click to expand...
ffmpeg is the simplest tool.

All file is video h.264 max. 6500 kb/s, audio aac 128 kb/s

simple batch file:
ffmpeg -i mysourcefile -c copy -f flv rtmp://addressyoutubewithkey

in this scenarion you can run how many file you need, but less like network upload speed.
