Live Stream Blocked at venue

[SunflowerGUY]

Hello,
I had a failed attempt to live stream to Youtube last weekend.
It turned out to be the Livestream protocol in the venue's router config did not allow it to pass through the router.

If in the future I need to put a question to an IT guy about live-streaming accessibility, how should I phrase the question to convey that certain IP ports need to be open?

(Apologies: I didn't capture the log file coz I was stressed).
Thanks.
SFG

Another case of Office IT being Gilligan with Live Media?

- YouTube

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

I've heard of gigs being done through the WiFi hotspot on one of the crew's phone, because the local Gilligan had an ego.

The hard "no" might have something to do with a hard requirement to directly see every individual device from their office and approve all of them individually, which is completely stupid for a rig that already works, has some wacky devices and requirements of its own compared to what an office IT guy is used to, and *only* needs a tunnel out to the internet.

For the RTMP(S) protocol, outbound ports 1935 and 443 need to be open (important: no HTTPS inspection should be active on port 443).

For the HLS protocol, outbound port 443 needs to be open (this should be compatible with HTTPS inspection since it's a regular HTTP request)
