Question / Help RTMP/VLC Composite Issue

[david ives]

Let me give a quick background of what I am trying to do and how im currently trying to do it. I have 5 gaming PCs for my 4 children and myself. I also have a dell server running windows 10. The server is currently setup with monaserver. The kids computers all have OBS that stream directly to the mona server. I can pickup each individual stream with a web based player but cant get the OBS on the server to add those scenes properly. So Im now trying to use VLC media player. When I try to open the RTMP stream in VLC using rtmp://127.0.0.0:1935/test it will not work and errors out. Now ive read that VLC wants an application to play it such as rtmp://127.0.0.0:1935/WHATEVERAPP/test but i dont know how to link that properly. My Monaserver root directory is on my desktop on the server. How can I make this work?

I was told that:
"This is just a problem with VLC which needs an application in the url so you can't just play with "rtmp://myip/test" but with "rtmp://myip/ANYDIRECTORY/test" it will works.

Note that ANYDIRECTORY should be an existing directory in the root directory of Mona ("www")"

would fix the problem but I am a COMPLETE noob to this and im just trying to figure things out....unsuccessfully at this point.
