Question / Help nginx rtmp server

[Quackerjack]

Hey All,

I setup a rtmp server using nginx on a Raspberry Pi 3 (running Raspbian)

I am able to connect to it via another computer on my network but my friend at a different location cannot.

When I say connect I am referencing using OBS. I'm able to stream to the server no issues.

The below is how I have my nginx.conf file setup:

rtmp {
server {
listen 1935;
chunk_size 4096;

application live {
live on;
record off;
}
}
}

Couple of questions:
Do I need to configure anything else on my side with nginx / server box?
Is it something with my modem blocking his traffic?
Or does he need to do something to be able to hit 1935 on his side?

Hi

your nginx-rtmp config is simple but looks Ok i think.

you mention 'modem' by which do you mean your home router, i'd imagine it would run a NAT firewall? you'd probably need to forward port 1935 to the ip of the server where nginx-rtmp lives and also configure firewalls to allow 1935 inbound?
