Question / Help where to look for the ffmpeg string

[Adam P Fox]

OBS uses FFMPEG to do the streaming, is there a way to look at the FFMPEG's string OBS is using when streaming ?

 

[Fenrir]

OBS uses librtmp to do the streaming, not ffmpeg. It uses x264 (or whatever other encoder you have set) to encode.

why in the instructions when I installed theOBS linux version, it asked me to install FFMPEG first ?

 

[Fenrir]

ffmpeg is used for many other functions, just not the final push out over RTMP.
