Hi there!

Been trying to setup an nginx rtmp server, did an install on a fresh ubuntu install and did a simple install of nginx, with the correct RTMP module, on a windows machine.

The ubuntu server was installed in a virtualbox, i thought it had to be a linux machine at first, then learned it also just runs under windows. Why i made the switch to my local machine was because when all was setup, i tried to connect with OBS to this virtualbox which took a very very loong time (the connecting process, the button "start streaming" also greyes out) but eventually failes to connect. And with long i mean, i think its a minute, perhaps longer, but it fails every single time.

This is a part from my OBS log:
2:16:25.293: ------------------------------------------------
02:16:26.804: [rtmp stream: 'simple_stream'] Dynamic bitrate enabled. Dropped frames begone!
02:16:26.804: [rtmp stream: 'simple_stream'] Connecting to RTMP URL rtmps://localhost:1935/live/test...
02:16:26.805: [rtmp stream: 'simple_stream'] Interface: Software Loopback Interface 1 (type 24, 1073 mbps)
02:17:26.806: RTMP_Connect1, TLS_Connect failed: -0x7280
02:17:26.807: [rtmp stream: 'simple_stream'] Connection to rtmps://localhost:1935/live/test failed: -2
02:17:26.811: ==== Streaming Stop ================================================

I have no certificate or anything like that on my windows computer ofcourse, i just have nginx running with the rtmp module.

Not very far into this matter of rtmp myself, so i also tried to connect to rtmp://, so without the s, but OBS tells me right away the stream is not correct. Put back the s and try to connect, it again takes a minute or longer but fails.

I used the following link as my guide for my latest install on my local computer.

Please advice.

Got it fixed. was problem with rtmp and rtmps and not having the stream key setup correctly. Issue can be closed.
