Streamlabs iOS app to nginx to OBS: Black screen

[RaceStreamer]

We are testing a setup to allow remote users to stream to an nginx RTMP server, and then pull that feed into OBS.

OBS is running on Windows, both current. Have tested on a laptop and desktop, same result.

The Streamlabs app connects to nginx (using RTMP_Auth) and send the stream. We can open the nginx output using VLC; that works.

But if we add the stream as a browser source in OBS it just show a black window; no video. Copied/pasted the URL, so it's not a typo.

We've tested the same setup with a DJI drone successfully. There seems to be something with the Streamlabs app (iOS) and OBS/nginx.

Edit to add: At this point in testing everything is on the same LAN segment.

Any ideas? TIA!

Larix Broadcaster does the same thing: VLC can play the stream. OBS shows a black window.

Have now tested with three iOS apps and an Android phone. All exhibit the same: Can open the stream from nginx in VLC, but OBS won't play. USB webcam works. Log file attached.

Dumb question: RTMP stream is not a brower feed. I've done this before and always used the vlc obs source, not the browser. Am I getting this wrong????

Not dumb at all. In fact, eureka!

I was thinking it would something simple. I swear I saw a reference somewhere to setup as a browser source. Non-local media source FTW.

THANK YOU!
