Hi all,
A Newbie to obs so forgive me if this question has been asked.
I have a capture card hooked to my foxtel device coming out in composite video.
How can I send this to my android devices around the house on a local network.
I have tried MMS: type but their must be better ways with obs?

Any ideas anyone.

You need a server, for example nginx + rtmp-module would work. It can even convert your RTMP stream into hls/dash so it will work right away with most android devices. (RTMP is as well possible with most)
I have made a few guides about nginx, those can be found here:
http://www.helping-squad.com/wp/server/
And you can grab a pre-compiled nginx-rtmp server for windows either from my page:
http://rtmp.jack0r.com/ or from http://nginx-win.ecsds.eu/

Setup should be mostly simple, you will just need to check for a good android software to watch the stream then or work with hls and see how that is played back on android!

Have had a good look at your documentation but as a newbie to obs life is a bit hard to see what to do.
Do I run nginx as a service then get obs to interact with it somehow?
Any demo idea's would be great.
Thanks in advance,
Tom

basicly... obs captures , sends it to a server (nginx in this case) and the server pushes the captured data to either a website(player) or device.

But yes it wil take some time to set it up properly. This requires some knowledge of how networks work and how to configure software properly. But the guides of Jak0r and the others about rtmp/nginx are quite eleborate so take your time and start reading :)
But nginx is not runned as a service as far as i know under win7, just a exe that shows up as a process after you started it.
