Question / Help Solved - Protocol conversion without transcoding.

[Complicated Disaster]

Hi All,

What I need to do is receive an UDP/RTP stream from a hardware video encoder and then protocol convert to RTSP for streaming to Youtube / Facebook live.

I am currently successfully using OPS Classic with the Video Source plugin and VLC on a desktop PC with an Nvidea graphics card. However what I would like to do is move this to an embedded PC or VM which doesn't have a graphics card. I don't actually need to transcode the video as I have control over the video format from the original hardware encoder and I am assuming that the need for the GPU is to transcode the video - although I am happy to be wrong!

Is there a solution for this?

Thanks,

You'd need to use ffmpeg, and your use case is beyond the scope of OBS entirely.

Hi,
I'm not sure I understand what you mean about the use case. I thought that conversion to RTSP was exactly what OBS was for?

No. It's scene composition and encoding for RTMP

Not container/transport conversion without re-encoding from RTSP to RTMP.

Apologies! Typo! I mean RTMP. But I'm now guessing the answer is still ffmpeg?

For what you want to do, yes.
