Pull rtmp source

[veramarvin]

Add a feature that allows pulling from rtmp source for restreaming

[dimiden]

Hi, @veramarvin

We have a plan to implement this feature.
The feature is not just restreaming, it's mainly used to make sure that the stream is being ingested properly. So, I think it is a feature that must be added later.

Thank you for your suggestion.

+1 on this. total blocker on using this library if I can't restream. would require another transcode hop via datarhei/restreamer

+1 on this. If we can pull streams via RTMP when the client makes a request, it would be awesome. I really hate placing FFmpeg between things. If we can also pass through parameters like ...stream.key?some=1&params=2 that would be even better.

any update on this? any one have an idea how to do it manually?

[dimiden]

Nothing has been updated yet.
We don't have time to implement the RTMP Pull feature right now while developing other features.

Hello. I want to try ovenStream. But I need to pull the RTMP stream. Is it not possible to restream yet?

@AskAlice - you can pull and push the RTMP stream?

@tabakhian - you asked how to do it, did you find out? I do it with ffmpeg if thats any help?

[tabakhian]

unfortunately, I couldn't use OvenEngine, because of this problem, I had to use OSSRS to have both rtmp and webrtc playing at the same time.

I know there are a lot of people who want this feature, and I found it to be very helpful in integrating with nginx.
So I will increase the priority of this feature. But we are so busy these days that we could start implementing this feature in early 2022.

How does nginx integration for rtmp pull works? Is there any sample? I don't think nginx supports rtsp?

@mpisat

Sorry but I don't know if I understood your question correctly.

I found this useful in a structure like below, and I got the idea here: #536

NginX -> (rtmp pull) <- {OriginMap}OvenMediaEngine -> (WebRTC)

As we had anticipated the end of RTMP, any issues related to it had a very low priority for us. However, it seems that the lifespan of RTMP has been extended due to #1167. Consequently, we have started to reconsider features related to RTMP.
