Question / Help Problem with streaming from OBS to VLC

[Simon Theodor Singer]

Hi all,

let me explain my setup and what I want to do:

PC 1 / Win10 (IP: 192.168.1.114):

OBS installed, with many sources, works like a charm =)​

​

PC 2 / Win10 (IP: 192.168.1.113):

VLC Installed, but can not view stream from OBS, because I don't know the URL, Protocol and port.​

​

What I want is to make PCs in my network able to view the "live/mixed output, result" of OBS.
I thought, couldn't be so hard ... but:

• What I understood is, that I need an rtpM server, so that I can view OBS stream with VLC player from that rtMp server which is "filled" from OBS.
• But I also read the article, the title was analogously " ... OBS Stream from one to another pc ..." where you can record and then watch with VLC
  I followed this tutorial, but VLC player seemed to play, but the screeen was black.

So generally,
I want any PC with VLC in my network (PC2 - PC n) to be able to watch the live stream from OBS.
I would prefer the solution without the rtmp server, which is PC1 (OBS) <-> PC2 (VLC player)

But could anyone enlighten me, what are the advantages and the disadvantages of:

• Viewing stream with VLC player from rtmp Server PC1 (OSB) -> PC ? (RTMP SRV) <- PC2 (VLC player)
• Viewing with Vlc, by not starting stream in OBS, but starting recording.

Please bear with me, I am just getting things sorted ... ;-)

BTW:
Windows firewall are OFF on both PCs.

I did not find posts or something on Google, that would help me for my specific setup,
maybe because I have a different understanding of how things (should) work,
or just because I am using the wrong terms.

Would appreciate, if somebody could point me into the right direction.
Thanks.

Regards,

OBS cannot stream directly from one PC to another. If you're just looking to get the video output from OBS to another PC on the same network, use NDI: https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/ndi-input-output-plugin-for-obs-studio.528/
