Probably looking for architecture more than anything, but I am having some performance issues, but these might be easily fixed with the right design.
I have 2 dell E6430 5i 8gb ram laptops, one is setup as windows 7 64bit with OBS on it, the other is a Debian8 running nginx with rmtp compiled.
The idea is as the "director" I setup the Windows laptop to show various local IP camera streams, web pages etc which is fairly static in nature. OBS then streams this to the second laptop with nginx which acts as the distribution point. Consumer users then connect to the nginx server to watch the livestream using VLC or similar. Network is local a 1gb switch.
So this seems to work Ok for one consumer though it is behind a bit but once I connect a 2nd and third consumer the video / connections stall and VLC software even seems to disconnect. The 2 laptops are just not stressed in anyway I can see, CPUs just ticking over really so I must be missing something somewhere.
There is a lot of talk about bit rate and reducing it but not much guidance on an actual setting or how to figure one out. Though it seems more likely the problem is not OBS but a poorly configured nginx server?
Any good docs on how best to set up something like this?
ipcamera/webpage---->OBS----->nginx----->consumer(1~100)
or a better way to do it?
thanks
