OBS Streaming error.

[martiankoder]

Hi everyone,
This is my first time using OME. I was able to get it work on local IP address. Streaming went fine, latency is under 1 second. But when I tried to set up with a real website. The OBS pops up an error when I hits Start Streaming, it throws an error: "Failed to connect to server
The connection timed out. Make sure you've configured a valid streaming service and no firewall is blocking the connection."
In the OBS settings, I put: Server as rtmp://MyWebSiteHere.com:1935/app and stream key:stream.
Output Keyframe 1, CPU usage : ultrafast, profile: main, tune zerolatency.

I followed all the steps on https://airensoft.gitbook.io/ovenmediaengine/getting-started
(Installation, configuration in Server.xml files, generate TLS certificate, etc.). I have created .pem files with certbot (using dns, because port 80 was blocked by my ISP) and put those files' path in Server.xml.

I don't know what's wrong. Any suggestion is appreciated. Thank you.
I have included Server.txt (.xml is not allowed to upload),

If OBS's RTMP can't connect to your server, it's a TCP connection problem.

First add <Name>*</Name> to <VirtualHosts><VirtualHost><Host><Names> . When there is only one virtual host in the system, setting only <Name>*</Name> works well.

And when connecting RTMP with OBS, try rtmp://your-server-ip:1935/app/stream instead of domain. (RTMP works just fine with IP too.) If this doesn't work, it's likely that your ISP or system's firewall is blocking port 1935/tcp.

If that doesn't work... Are you running OvenMediaEngine with docker or systemctl ? If you are running with docker, please share the docker run command.

[martiankoder]

Thank you for your quick reply.

I installed using systemctl.

I just ran sudo lsof -i tcp

The result shows 1935/TCP below

OvenMedia 2050 root 6u IPv4 46794 0t0 TCP *:3333 (LISTEN)
OvenMedia 2050 root 8u IPv4 50571 0t0 TCP *:3334 (LISTEN)
OvenMedia 2050 root 10u IPv4 50579 0t0 TCP *:3478 (LISTEN)
OvenMedia 2050 root 12u IPv4 50586 0t0 TCP *:9000 (LISTEN)
OvenMedia 2050 root 18u IPv4 46817 0t0 TCP *:1935 (LISTEN)

Does this mean the 1935/TCP is aldready open?

I just tried putting * in the Name tag , and in OBS I wrote rtmp://I-put-IP-of-my-website-here:1935/app/stream. The got the same error popping up in OBS. I didn't connect.

I then also tried putting in my website host name in the name tag. In OBS I wrote rtmp://mywebsitehere:1935/app/stream. The got the same error popping up in OBS. I didn't connect

I created the certificate this way (can't do with port 80):
sudo certbot --manual --preferred-challenges dns certonly -d MyWebSiteHere.com
It generated the cert.pem, chain.pem and privkey.pem files in ect folder, I copied those files into /opt/ovenmediaengine/bin/ and wrote in Server.xml as

				<Name>*</Name>
			
			</Names>
			
			<TLS>
				 <CertPath>/opt/ovenmediaengine/bin/cert.pem</CertPath>
				 <KeyPath>/opt/ovenmediaengine/bin/privkey.pem</KeyPath>
				 <ChainCertPath>/opt/ovenmediaengine/bin/chain.pem</ChainCertPath>
			</TLS>
			
		</Host>

As mentioned, I also tried to put my website host name in the name tag. Ran systemctl Restarted. It also did not stream. No connection in OBS

I am trying to figure out what the problem is.

Do we have to use some thing like stream.myeamplewebsite.com or just myexamplewebsite is still OK?

If a subdomain is used, then what is the appropriate IP address of this subdomain. I am having a google domain. and in the google domain console. I only have IP address for the main domain. What should I put in the address for the subdomain ( Should I use my external (public) IP address of my computer to put in the subdomain (A record)?

Also, what should I fill in the IP under the Server tag? Is this the IP address of my main domain or subdomain or my computer's external or internal IP adrress? or just leave it as *?

Is Managers tag needed(outside of Bind tag) ? like following:

			<Name>*</Name>

		</Names>
		<TLS>
				<CertPath>/opt/ovenmediaengine/bin/cert.pem</CertPath>
				<KeyPath>/opt/ovenmediaengine/bin/privkey.pem</KeyPath>
				<ChainCertPath>/opt/ovenmediaengine/bin/chain.pem</ChainCertPath>
		</TLS>
	</Host>
	<API>
		<AccessToken>ome-access-token</AccessToken>

		<CrossDomains>
			
			<Url>http://*.sub-domain.airensoft.com</Url>
			<Url>http?://airensoft.*</Url>
		</CrossDomains>
	</API>

I also tried to put my domain , subdomain in the tag. Restarted and ran. OBS also did not connect.

Do you know what I am doing wrong here?

Thank you.

The output of lsof -i tcp does not show that the firewall is open. It just shows that OME is listening on port 1935.
Also, your problem has nothing to do with certificates or virtual hosts. Regardless of that, it is a problem that OBS just cannot connect to OME's tcp port. (Besides, RTMP doesn't use certificates. Certificate is used for https or wss) Your problem is very likely due to your firewall.

Which Linux distribution do you use? Open the port through firewall-cmd at the bottom of the manual.

https://airensoft.gitbook.io/ovenmediaengine/getting-started#ports-used-by-default

Alternatively, search Google for ubuntu firewall disable or centos firewall disable and then turn off the firewall altogether.

Or check if your ISP is blocking all ports other than 443. You said that you can't use port 80 because of your ISP, only port 443. So is 1935 available?

You only have one virtual host. So just putting <Name>*</Name> is sufficient. When there are multiple virtual hosts later, it can be used to distinguish each virtual host by domain name.

[getroot]

In some of the logs you uploaded (there are multiple log files and Server.xml links are broken), your OBS successfully connects to OME and the stream is created normally. So it may not be a firewall issue.

So OBS sometimes succeeds in connecting, but fails to play WebRTC? Given that it is an OBS connection problem, this problem will only be analyzed as a firewall problem. If not, it could be another setup issue. I think it would be good to clarify your problem first.

First of all, let's solve the RTMP connection problem step by step.

1. Keep <Name>*</Name>. There is absolutely no problem with your current setup.

2. Since the name is *, you can send RTMP to your default virtual host with either IP or domain. Turn on OBS and broadcast your stream. TLS is not used at this time. Don't worry about setting up any certificates yet.

3. If it fails, please upload the log.

You don't have to worry about main domain or sub domain yet. Since the name is *, you only need to use the domain address where your OME server's IP is mapped. Subdomains are just your preference. There are no OME regulations. Just like nginx or something. Whether you use rtmp://ome.airensoft.com/app/stream as the url or rtmp://airensoft.com/app/stream as the url, it's just your preference. However, all domains must, of course, be mapped to the IP of the server where OME is installed. OME supports either IPv4 or IPv6, but IPv6 is not turned on by default. But let's not worry about this yet. First, solve the obs connection failure problem.

Thank you for your detailed instructions.
I am using Ubuntu Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS.
I just ran all commands with success
$ sudo firewall-cmd --add-port=3333/tcp
$ sudo firewall-cmd --add-port=3334/tcp
$ sudo firewall-cmd --add-port=1935/tcp
$ sudo firewall-cmd --add-port=9999/udp
$ sudo firewall-cmd --add-port=4000/udp
$ sudo firewall-cmd --add-port=3478/tcp
$ sudo firewall-cmd --add-port=9000/tcp
$ sudo firewall-cmd --add-port=10000-10009/udp

I just followed your instructions. Keep * in the Name tag. Remove TLS for now. I turned on OBS, broadcast stream with IP address of the domain. It failed. Please see my logs and Server.xml below:

Server.xml pasted here (just in case the link is broken again):

[getroot]

Looking at your log, not even TCP connections from OBS are getting to OME.
There is no problem with your server and your Server.xml. Is your server running in the cloud? I think you should suspect the external firewall. Couldn't it be that you can't use port 1935 just like you can't use port 80?

[getroot]

Are you running your server under NAT or wsl2 on Windows?

[getroot]

Looking at the log you uploaded earlier, it seems that when you successfully connected to your OME with OBS, you connected with a private IP. Does your server have a private IP? Your network configuration doesn't seem to be common. Share it so others can help you.

[naanlizard]

nannlizard, Is subdomain a must? getroot mentioned above that It is not the case, we do not need a subdomain.
What do you mean by " you need to set your domain name to point to your ome server's external IP address" ? and how do you "set your router to forward the port to your server."?

A subdomain is necessary sometimes, but that's not a requirement from ome, that's just how dns and TCP/IP work. You should Google up a primer on it because you seem a little out of your depth. Which isn't a dig but does mean you should expect to do a lot of reading to understand

A domain points to an IP address. Your website service you're using has their own server with their own ip address that your domain points to. When you tell obs to connect to your website's domain, it tries to connect to their server and that server is not running ome. You need to have obs connect to your server. To start, try setting the rtmp url to your server's external IP. I am going to guess it won't work. That is because your IP is signed to your router, which needs to determine what to do with incoming connections (on every port, but specifically now port 1935. The default on most routers is to reject incoming connections. Google how to forward ports on your router to figure out how to forward from your router to your server's internal IP address.

Once you can connect with your external IP, you probably want to set up a subdomain because I'm assuming you'll break your existing site if you don't use one, since each domain can only point to one IP address.

[martiankoder]

naanlizard, How do I get the "ome server's external IP address" . Is that the IP address I get from command: curl ipinfo.io/ip
this is the public IP address. I don't know if this is also the "ome server's external IP address" that you mentioned.?

[naanlizard]

Yes, external and public are synonyms here. Google a port forwarding guide and it will likely explain everything

[getroot]

If you want to use OvenMediaEngine to provide streaming service to various people outside, I recommend that you install OvenMediaEngine on a cloud instance and configure the system using the instance's public IP.
Running a server on a home PC is very difficult in many ways. (Of course, that doesn't mean it's impossible.)

That is my plan. I just want test it out first on my computer to see how it goes.

[martiankoder]

Thank you so much, getroot and nannlizard. Finally, I did it . I just created a cloud virtual machine Instance and installed OME on it (Ubuntu 22). Streaming was smooth, latency under 1 second.

I just wonder how to create 2 Virtual Hosts? As right now 1 machine Instance gives me 1 external IP address, I use this address to put in the virtual host tag. Do I have to create a another instance? Can 1 instance have 2 external IPs? Thanks.

[martiankoder]

naanlizard, LOL , just read the XY thing. Because getroot mentioned above that we can have multiple Virtual Hosts. That got me curious!
So I thought, maybe multiple hosts equivalent to having the ability to stream multiple (different )streams at the same time (not 1 stream- multiple viewers , but let say, 2 viewer watching their own stream). So this is a natural extension of this. Or should I create a separate post? Thanks

[naanlizard]

It was an XY problem :) You can have multiple incoming streams and multiple viewers per stream with one instance of OME (and one virtualhost, one IP address, etc).

Read the documentation thoroughly and it should be clear how to do that, if you have specific questions feel free to ask

[martiankoder]

For example, if i have 2 streams like this
`

					<Name>stream1.mysite.com</Name>
					<Name>stream2.mysite.com</Name>
					
			</Names>
			
			<TLS>
				<CertPath>/opt/ovenmediaengine/bin/cert.pem</CertPath>
				<KeyPath>/opt/ovenmediaengine/bin/privkey.pem</KeyPath>
				<ChainCertPath>/opt/ovenmediaengine/bin/chain.pem</ChainCertPath>
				
			</TLS>

		</Host>

`

Each subdomain (stream1.mysite.com and stream2.mysite.com) needs 1 external IP address from 1 cloud virtual machine instance. I mean, 1 VM instance gives me only 1 external IP address (which corresponds to 1 subdomain). So I need to create 2 VM instances to have 2 external IPs? My question is: Can 1 VM instance gives me 2 external IP address? or it is a must that I have to create 2 VM machines? I am testing it out on google cloud compute engine.
or Do you know how to do this another way?

[naanlizard]

You do not need a virtualhost for every incoming stream.

Yes 1 VM can have multiple IPs, but that's not relevant or necessary. Usually it's an addon from your host for a few bucks a month.

Really, read the docs. Specifically

https://airensoft.gitbook.io/ovenmediaengine/live-source/rtmp and https://airensoft.gitbook.io/ovenmediaengine/streaming/webrtc-publishing#webrtc-over-tcp-with-ovenplayer (look at the webrtc URL they use - you can change "stream" to whatever streamkey you want, which corresponds to the streamkey in OBS)
