how to set stream key? (Stream dropped when pushing to YouTube)

[praveen001]

I would like to restream to youtube and twitch, but where do i mention the stream key?

Sorry, the UI isn't too descriptive when it comes to that.

For Twitch, you'll need to combine your ingest server URL and stream key like this:
Ingest Server URL: rtmp://live-lax.twitch.tv/app/
Stream Key: abc123
Combined: rtmp://live-lax.twitch.tv/app/abc123

For YouTube:
Ingest Server URL: rtmp://a.rtmp.youtube.com/live2
Stream Key: abc123
Combined: rtmp://a.rtmp.youtube.com/live2/abc123

Then, you can add the combined URL as an endpoint within the Streampush UI.

@joshuaferrara Thanks for your answer.

but, it didn't work. Youtube is closing the connection. Does this actually work with OBS? like this: OBS -> Relay -> Youtube?

Im suspecting nariex/joy4 here, because the http_flv_and_rtmp_server example is also outputing some corrupted data.

Ah, yes. I did experience some issues when pushing to YouTube. It seemed to be quite hit-or-miss whether or not it kept the connection open. I had been hoping to replace the joy4 RTMP implementation, though never got around to finishing it. With that being said, pushing to YouTube might not work (which sucks).

As a side note, my YouTube tests seemed to stay open if I waited a few minutes between attempts to stream to it.

Oh, that's unfortunate. btw nareix/joy4#15 I think it's a long standing issue.

[joshuaferrara]

Good to know that it's not on my side. I'm going to keep this issue open as a reminder to try and get YouTube streaming fixed, as that's going to be a deal breaker for quite a few people.

I'm having no issues pushing to YouTube at a low resolution, with 2500 bitrate, and keyframe interval of 2s set in my OBS settings. Will follow up with some more testing later.
