A tutorial for screen sharing with OBS

[Thomas Jammet]

I am glad to announce you that MonaServer is now compatible with a great tool named OBS.
In brief it's an open source project that allows you to share/record your screen or any other video source you want.

To see the tutorial please click on the link below :

How to set up your own private RTMFP server using MonaServer

A great thanks to Janis for his help and informations!

Is this tutorial outdated? Attempting to follow this tutorial now leads MonaServer to complain: "Application /test doesn't exist". I am streaming to MonaServer RTMP using OBS Studio 0.12.3 x64 with the streamkey test and using VLC video player to access rtmp://myip/test.

This was solved by streaming to rtmp://myip/streams with the streamkey test instead.

What do you mean ?

Hi,

This is just a problem with VLC which needs an application in the url so you can't just play with "rtmp://myip/test" but with "rtmp://myip/ANYDIRECTORY/test" it will works.

Note that ANYDIRECTORY should be an existing directory in the root directory of Mona ("www").

Bonjour Thomas,

Je regarde en ce moment Mona de prés car le protocole rtmfp m'interesse pour un projet perso. J'aimerais savoir quelque chose, sur le tuto en adresse tu passe le protocole rtmp dans l'uri de connexion, j'ai essayé en mettant rtmfp cela semble fonctionner aussi pour la connection, mais j' m'interroge sur les logs console de mona :

RTMP\RTMPSession.cpp[279] Sending ACK : 35062804 bytes (_unackBytes: 133558)

J'ai l'impression que le stream est en rtmp et non en rtmfp, cela vient surement d'obs qui ne reconnait pas ce protocole et le remplace par rtmp, ou bien ce log et le meme pour le rtmfp ?

Mon but est de proposer du vrai p2p pour la communication audio et video du coup je m'interroge sur la possibilité de le faire par obs (notemment pour le srceen sharing).

Merci en tout cas pour tout le travail fournit sur mona.

Bonjour,

Merci à vous :)

Oui effectivement OBS ne gère pas RTMFP pour l'instant, la seule solution existante pour faire du screen sharing en RTMFP (avec NetGroup) ce serait de trouver une application qui partage l'écran en tant que webcam.

Sinon c'est plus compliqué, contactez-moi par mail si vous souhaitez en discuter.

What would be the URL line to get VLC to work with this.  I have tried a ton of options and cant get it to work.  As an example rtmp://127.0.0.1:1935/c:/users/david/desktop/mona/www/test??  and several different variants.  I am VERY NEW to this and trying to get composite streaming for my kids.  An example would help!  Thanks!

Hi liverebel2,

If you have followed the tutorial you just have to :
 - Create a subdirectory into "www", for example "c:/users/david/desktop/mona/www/temp/"
 - And connect with vlc to rtmp://127.0.0.1/temp/test

This is because vlc expect an application (here "temp") in the RTMP url.

I hope it will help you!
