To learn more visit https://github.com/arut/nginx-rtmp-module/wiki/Directives#exec ## ## You can either set this here, so all the incoming streams to /live/* get transcoded, or you can push to a seperate recorder app. ## ## The following lines will take our incoming RTMP stream and transcode it to several different HLS streams with variable bitrates ## ## This ffmpeg command takes the input and transforms the source into 4 or 5 different streams with different bitrate and quality. ## ## 4 or 5 different streams with different bitrate and quality. P.S. The scaling done here respects the aspect ratio of the input. ## ## If you enable adaptive bitrate streams here, make sure to disable the stream-push to /hls below, under # STREAM RELAYING LOCAL # ## #exec ffmpeg -i rtmp://localhost/$app/$name -async 1 -vsync -1 ## Transcoding can be enabled here, or by using the abshls application below. #-c:v libx264 -acodec copy -b:v 256k -vf "scale=480:trunc(ow/a/2)*2" -tune zerolatency -preset veryfast -crf 23 -g 60 -hls_list_size 0 -f flv rtmp://localhost/hls/$name_low #-c:v libx264 -acodec copy -b:v 768k -vf "scale=720:trunc(ow/a/2)*2" -tune zerolatency -preset veryfast -crf 23 -g 60 -hls_list_size 0 -f flv rtmp://localhost/hls/$name_mid #-c:v libx264 -acodec copy -b:v 1024k -vf "scale=960:trunc(ow/a/2)*2" -tune zerolatency -preset veryfast -crf 23 -g 60 -hls_list_size 0 -f flv rtmp://localhost/hls/$name_high #-c:v libx264 -acodec copy -b:v 1920k -vf "scale=1280:trunc(ow/a/2)*2" -tune zerolatency -preset veryfast -crf 23 -g 60 -hls_list_size 0 -f flv rtmp://localhost/hls/$name_higher #-c copy -f flv rtmp://localhost/hls/$name_src; ## SET ACCESS RULES FOR APPLICATION /live ## ## PUBLISHING ## allow 127.0.0.1; # If you decice to harden these rules, it is adviced to uncomment this line. # allow publish 192.168.2.0/24; # Anybody from this local IP address range can stream to this application. # allow publish 192.168.2.50; # Allow a single IP address to stream to this application (multiple lines with different ip's are possible) allow publish all; # Anybody from any location can stream to this application. Comment this out if you want to use deny publish. # deny publish 10.0.0.50; # Deny this specific IP address from streaming to this application. Can also be an IP address range. # deny publish all; # Nobody can stream to the server except those that you've set in previous lines. ## PLAYING ## allow play 127.0.0.1; # Localhost can play the stream from this application. Must be set if you decide to use push later on! allow play 192.168.2.0/24; # Anybody in this IP range can play the RTMP directly. allow play all; # Anybody can play the RTMP livestream directly. Comment this out if you decide to use the next option. # deny play all; # Nobody can play the RTMP stream except those that we've set in lines above it. ## RECORDING SETTINGS FOR /LIVE ## record off; # off|all|audio|video|keyframes|manual. These options sorta speak for themselves. record_path /var/livestream/recordings; # Folder location that will be used to store the recordings. YOU SHOULD CHANGE THIS TO YOUR PREFERENCE! record_suffix -%d-%b-%y-%T.flv; # Added to recorded filenames. Example uses 'strftime' format results: -24-Apr-13-18:23:38.flv.

When turned on recorder appends new data to the old file with no gap. Default=off record_lock off; # on|off. When turned on recorded file gets locked with 'fcntl' call. Default=off. record_notify off; # on|off. Toggles sending "NetStream.Record.Start" and "NetStream.Record.Stop" status messages. Default=off. # record_max_size 128K; # Set maximum file size of the recorded files. No default. # record_max_frames 200; # Sets maximum number of video frames per recorded file.

Multiple recorders can be created withing single application. Example: recorder audio { record audio; record_suffix .audio.flv; record_path /var/livestream/recordings/audio; } ## This will automatically convert your .flv recordings to mp4 when the stream/recording is stopped. WARNING! This will cause high CPU usage!! ## # exec_record_done ffmpeg -i $path -f mp4 /var/livestream/recordings/$basename.mp4; ## RELAYING ## ## PULLING STREAMS ## ## For more info please visit: https://github.com/arut/nginx-rtmp-module/wiki/Directives#relay ## ## pull url [key=value]* # Creates pull relay. A stream is pulled from remote machine and becomes available locally. ## ## URL Syntax: [rtmp://]host[:port][/app[/playpath]] ## # pull rtmp://cdn.example.com/live/ch?id=1234 name=channel_a; # This is an example. Visit above url for more info. # session_relay off; # on|off. On=relay is destroyed when connection is closed. Off=relay is destroyed when stream is closed. Default=off. ## PUSHING STREAMS ## ## Push has the same syntax as pull. Unlike pull, push directive publishes stream to remote server. ## ## This will push the stream from incoming /live application to these below to create HLS and/or Dash streams, or to record or transcode automatically. ## ## Only enable HLS push if you are not using ABS options earlier or by using the encoder application ## push rtmp://localhost/hls; # Remember to enable an app called HLS! Disable it if you use transcoding using variable bitrates. push rtmp://localhost/dash; # Remember to create the app dash! It is safe to disable this if you're not interested in using Dash. ## PUSH TO TRANSCODER APPLICATION ## # push rtmp://localhost/encoder; # Enable this if you're not using the ABS options earlier but want to use a different application for it. ## PUSH TO RECORDER APPLICATION ## # push rtmp://localhost/recorder; # Enable this if you want to record your stream and convert it to MP4 automatically when you stop the stream. ## STREAM RELAYING TO EXTERNAL PARTY'S ## ## Push can also be used to re-stream your stream to other platforms. You can do this directly or use an additional application for this. ## ## Using an additional local application allows you to set up variables if you prefer. Or you can choose to push to 3rd party directly. ## ## YOUTUBE PUSH OPTIONS ## # push rmtp://localhost/youtube; # Uncomment this to use application on localhost (MUST BE SPECIFIED). OR simply use the following line: # push rtmp://a.rtmp.youtube.com/live2 /YOUR-LIVE-STREAM-KEY; # Your RTMP stream will be pushed as it is to Youtube as an RTMP stream. ## TWITCH PUSH OPTIONS ## # push rmtp://localhost/twitch; # Uncomment this to use application on localhost (MUST BE SPECIFIED). OR simply use the following line: # push rtmp://live-ams.twitch.tv/app /live_YOUR-LIVE-STREAM-KEY; # Your RTMP stream will be pushed as it is to Twitch as an RTMP stream. } # CLOSING BRACKET /live ## RECORDING APP ## application recorder { live on; recorder all { record all; # off|all|audio|video|keyframes|manual.

Default= empty. # hls_fragments_per_key 100; # Sets the number of HLS fragments encrypted with the same key. 0 means only one key is created at the publish start and # all fragments within the session are encrypted with this key. Default=0. ## HLS_VARIANT - Used for variable bitrate streaming. Please read: https://github.com/arut/nginx-rtmp-module/wiki/Directives#hls_variant ## ## When hls_variant suffix is matched on stream name then variant playlist is created for the current stream with all entries specified by hls_variant ## directives in current application. Stripped name without suffix is used as variant stream name. The original stream is processed as usual. ## Optional parameters following the suffix are appended to EXT-X-STREAM-INF in m3u8 playlist. See HLS spec 3.3.10. EXT-X-STREAM-INF for full list. # hls_variant _low BANDWIDTH=288000; # _low - Low bitrate, sub-SD resolution # hls_variant _mid BANDWIDTH=448000; # _mid - Medium bitrate, SD resolution # hls_variant _high BANDWIDTH=1152000; # _high - Higher-than-SD resolution # hls_variant _higher BANDWIDTH=2048000; # _higher - High bitrate, HD 720p resolution # hls_variant _src BANDWIDTH=4096000; # _src - Source bitrate, source resolution } ## MPEG-DASH APPLICATION ## application dash { # These variables will be used since we enabled pushing /live stream to this application. live on; # on|off.
