Generic RTMP Streaming Guide

Not all RTMP URLs are formatted the same, so Videon’s encoders are set up to let you construct your RTMP URL in single-line format. This allows any server that accepts RTMP to be used with our generic interface! Since the formats can vary, here are a few example formats you can try:

1. [server URL]/[stream key or stream name]
   • www.mycdn.com/5tr3amk3y
   • www.mycdn.com/mystreamname
2. [server URL]/[application name]/[stream name]
   • www.mycdn.com/live/mystreamname
3. [username]:[password]@[1 or 2]
   • coolstreamer88:7dvi39sn@www.mycdn.com/5tr3amk3y
   • coolstreamer88:7dvi39sn@www.mycdn.com/live/mystreamname
4. [server URL]:1935/[application name]?username=[username]&password=[password]&token=[token]/[stream key or stream name]
   • www.mycdn.com:1935/live?username=coolstreamer88&password=7dvi39sn&token=1234/5tr3amk3y

Certain streaming providers also require a port (usually 1935) to be added as part of the server URL, example: www.mycdn.com:1935/5tr3amk3y

If none of these worked, try different combinations based on the ones above, or contact your streaming provider for their generic, single-line RTMP format.

If that does not work either, contact Videon’s Support team at techsupport@videonlabs.com
