Hello,

New member on this forum, I do use Obs from time to time to record some videos, for a couple of years.
I also stream when needed using Twitch.
I'm using archlinux with a powerful computer.

If I stream with ffmpeg, without 3rd websites like Twitch, will by bandwith increase or not depending on number of clients connected ?
Will cpu usage increase ?
Or will I stream same amount of data regardless of clients connected ?

What is the best for external streaming : UDP or RTP, RTMP ?
As I'm using archlinux, what should I read to help me configure my streaming server with OBS ?

Thanks in advance.

Thank you Narcogen.
I'm doing some local tests and cannot playback my stream with Vlc

I've installed Nginx, configured it.
After starting nginx I get the localhost page stating
"
Welcome to nginx!

If you see this page, the nginx web server is successfully installed and working. Further configuration is required."

I can start streaming with obs (Url stream rtmp://192.168.2.52/live)
But connecting to the stream under vlc does nothing - no error, no connection
I tried with
rtmp://192.168.2.52/live and with
rtmp://@192.168.2.52/live

Best wishes for 2019.

Now, sound is OK, but no image.
Url stream rtmp://192.168.2.52/live/test or whatever is entered in the obs Key parameter !
I was using Url stream rtmp://192.168.2.52/live

I tried connecting 2 computers, I can answer my question : server flow rate increases.
More connections = more bandwith. That is bad !

I will search why I do not get ant picture ...

It does work now
I get audio and video with vlc on 2 different computers.
Now, I will embed the stream in an html page, and check it from outside.

I will post all my config at the end : maybe it will help someone else using archlinux.
