Forgive me for asking what may seem to some very stupid or simple question. I no nothing really about OBS. I am looking for some that will allow me to stream live content on the internet to a media server. The solution needs to be able to transcode rtmp into hls. I have been looking at alot of ideas but can't seem to get one to work. I can use rtmpdump to get me stream but it doesn't transcode to hls. I have attempted to get ffmpeg to stream rtmp to hls but have not been able to get the syntax correct no matter how many times I have tried it. I came across nginx and have attempted to compile it with rtmp but have not been completely successful. I am not looking to rebroadcast anything this will be for person use on home network. Thanks for any advice.

May I ask why exactly you need HLS for this?
In general I think going the nginx way is the easiest one. It has native hls support and does not need ffmpeg for this anymore. But I am afraid I havent worked with it yet, so I cant give you any more info on how to configure that.
So maybe if you can explain why you want HLS we can help you further.

Thanks for your reply. I have created a roku channel that comes streams live content from various websites. Nothing fancy. Actually trying to make things a little easier on my wife and kids. Thru much reading and testing, I was able to grab the rtmp and info needed to view the stream. Problem is I don't want to save the rtmp to anything really but it needs to be transcoded to hls for the Roku. As much as I like the Roku I am a little unhappy with the fact it only recognizes mp4 or hls. Of course the mp4 can't be viewed until the download is complete which does my no good for live stream. Thanks again. Oh, do you know if there is a compiled version of nginx with rtmp for windows. I have been attempting to compile on for a week now but for some reason always get an error on the makefile. Thanks again

nginx 1.5.6 / rtmp module 1.0.6
The example config included only receives one stream so far, you will have to check the rtmp-modules git page for some more info on how to configure hls ;)
