TWITCH/RTMP STREAMING Server

[djandyw]

LMG Should make a video on setting up a dedicated server for twitch/rtmp with nginx rtmp on ubuntu and windows.

 

It would make a great video. And it would help out a lot of people to be able to stream at amazing quality just by using any 2nd pc dedicated with linux or a windows machine with virtualbox, You can use a windows computer and virtualize the process inside virtual box or run it on a dedicated linux or windows computer.

 

It's so simple how it works. You setup obs to encode with quicksync or nvenc. This will lower your cpu to almost nothing on your gaming machine/main computer. Then you stream to a custom rtmp url on your lan at 20000KBPS uncompressed it's just like using a capture card on a 2nd pc but you just use your dedicated box/image over LAN instead. the ip you'll use inside obs is the ip of the 2nd pc or virtualized image.

 

 

Anyways i have made 2 different downloads for both the dedicated linux setup and the windows virtualbox setup. All you need to do on the windows version is connect to the virtualbox image and login with stream 123. And type ifconfig get the ip and connect to it with putty and add your stream key if you want you can just edit everything from inside the virtualbox image. But you'll have to type the commands manually to open the conf file. For linux you install ubuntu sever and download and compile nginx rtmp. I have all the steps inside the 2 downloads 1 for linux and another for windows.The DL links are below. I hope lmg makes a video about this. It would help so many people up there stream quality on twitch without having to buy a capture card. You can literally set this up on any windows machine with good hardware and the windows version is portable just install virtualbox on said windows machine load up the image get the ip boom you have a streaming server. or u can set it up dedicated on linux. I'm using a 8350 amd cpu with the dedicated linux installation build @ http://pcpartpicker.com/p/ppmmcf i have the server in the basement to off load the heat and noise. And i'm streaming at 720P 60FPS at Medium and it looks so good. last thing if you have a good enough cpu you can do 1080P 60FPS at medium and it will look so good but you need a better cpu then what i'm using which is the 8350. I wanna see if anyone can test this on better cpu's and run 1080P 60FPS i know some of you on the forum have some insane hardware. Anyways the jump from 720P 60FPS to 1080P 60 is so much i dont have a powerful enough cpu to test it maybe you guys can run the image and see what cpu's will work on 1080P 60FPS AT Medium. Anyways cheers enjoy.
