hi, i was wondering if this can be done, i will use a rmtp server on lan and use obs to stream to that server rmtp with high bitrate and amd vce for better quality and want to redirect that stream from nginx directly to twitch.tv or hitbox or both, you guys can help me with that? i will do a rtmp server on a linux mint bytheway.

Could you please explain to me why you would want to do that? (I'm just curious :smile: )

guess he wants to offload encoding to a second pc without a capture card

Ok... Does that really make sense?

Once hardware encoding is implemented in OBS MP you can do a very high bitrate stream to nginx and then use the ffmpeg recoding to recode to something Twitch will accept.
Or you could use the old OBS.
BUT this will only work if you have hardware encoding on your laptop:
- Your i7 is recent enough and your laptop has the i7's Integrated GPU available. Sometimes, laptops with a dedicated Radeon/Geforce "hide" Intel's iGPU and then Quick Sync isn't available.
- You have a recent enough Geforce.
- If you have a Radeon, there is a build of the old OBS where you can use AMD's Video Coding Engine for hardware encoding (but I've had issues with it).
In the end, and if your encoding pc is close enough AND your laptop has a HDMI out, you can try and get a USB based capture card like the Elgato Game Capture HD(60) and hook that up to your encoding pc to capture the HDMI out.
If you could post the exact model of your laptop that'd help.

I currently do this using the old OBS to offload the encoding to my home server. I push 15,000 kbit to the server, then it adjusts it accordingly for twitch.
