  • Modifying source code of NGINX RTMP module to maintain connection to output stream while switching between input streams

    Regarding the first solution, I've looked through some of the source code for the NGINX RTMP Module, and I believe the code I would need to modify lives in the ngx_rtmp_cmd_module.c file: https://github.com/arut/nginx-rtmp-module/blob/master/ngx_rtmp_cmd_module.c

    If stuck for a server I've used this in the past. nginx with an RTMP module.

    Also linking a config file I commented. Unsure if it'll still work and you can definitely simplify it for OP's needs. It was a proof of concept for a streaming service I was thinking up before realising how much money I don't have, haha

  • Quick question on recording through an encoder
    1 project | /r/VIDEOENGINEERING | 25 Nov 2022
    If you can only output something like RTMP, then your options are a bit more limited. Set up an RTMP server somewhere (e.g. https://github.com/arut/nginx-rtmp-module), and connect with another client that will soak up the RTMP into a file - I think ffmpeg should be able to do that, but I've had the most luck with GStreamer. Again, avoid transcoding it on the way into a file, both ffmpeg and GStreamer can be set up to never touch the encoded media (just copy/pass it along).
