Question / Help To set up a private stream server with UMS

[repsihw]

Hi

I want to set up my computer as an private stream server which streams with restricted access.
And I found "Unreal Media Server(UMS)" very useful to me.
However I'd like to make OBS broadcast video to UMS, but I don't know how.
Can anyone help me please?

Thx a lot.

OBS only streams via RTMP, so you won't be able to use the proprietary UMS protocol. However, according to their Wikipedia page, they support RTMP, so you'll have to investigate that to find out what server address and stream key to enter into OBS to stream to it.

thanks for your kind response

well
I've read http://www.umediaserver.net/umediaserver/faq.html
and followed these official steps

RTMP Flash software and hardware encoders, such as Adobe FMLE, Telestream Wirecast, xSplit and others. These encoders connect and publish RTMP streams to Unreal Media Server. The default port for these connections is 5130; this port can be configured. Create a live broadcast of type "Rebroadcast live RTMP/RTSP/MPEG2-TS/MMS stream", select rtmp:// protocol. Specify a password for this broadcast, if authenticated publishing is needed. On the encoder panel, specify rtmp publishing address of this broadcast. For example, if your server machine's IP address is 192.168.1.8, the broadcast alias is "Camera8", then the rtmp publishing address is "rtmp://192.168.1.8:5130/live/Camera8". Refer to this screenshot. Note that you can only specify a single bitrate encoding, and the stream name should always be "livestream".

but it still doesn't work
OBS got connected with UMS less than 10secs and showed "Disconnected from server"
so I check the OBS log file which I post below

03:03:36: SO_SNDBUF was at 8192
03:03:36: SO_SNDBUF is now 65536

and these are my configuration and the error message

any help will be appreciated

ps. I posted this question at UMS forum, and the admin said "I don't think OBS is supported. Use FMLE or Wirecast".
However, OBS is still my first option to set up a private stream server, so I want to make sure whether OBS could push stream to UMS or not.

Try leaving off the "/livestream" part on the server, and just have rtmp://<ip address>:5130/live and then put "livestream" as the stream key and see if that works.

The admin of that forum must not know anything about OBS, because it uses RTMP the same way that all those other programs do. The only thing OBS doesn't support is FMS Authentication, which you aren't using. See newer post below.

Hi, this is David from Unreal Streaming Technologies.

I have tested OBS with our latest Unreal Media Server 10.5, and it works fine.
And yes we do support Adobe authentication, just to confirm.

 

[dodgepong]

OBS, too, now supports FMS authentication. You have to add the following to your profile ini:

[Publish]
Username=<your username>
Passowrd=<your password>

Without the angle brackets, of course.

This may be just what I'm also looking for. Can someone point me to a tutorial about how to connect OBS Studio to the UMS server so I can stream live to my own website? In other words how to put them altogether? THANK you!
