RTMP Restreamer

Portable RTMP restreaming tool. Starts server, accepts any stream and restreams it to multiple destinations without reencoding.

Usage

To get help:

rtmp_restreamer --help

Config file

Program searches config file config.json in executable directory, but you can set path with -c flag. Config file contains routing matrix of restreaming. Server accepts many streams and restreams every accepted stream to multiple destinations. This example set up that stream with key restream to be restreamed to Facebook, YouTube, Twitch, and stream with key restream2 to custom server. key is streaming key. Note, to use RTMPS, program must be built with OpenSSL.

{
    "restream": [
        "rtmps://live-api-s.facebook.com:443/rtmp/key",
        "rtmp://a.rtmp.youtube.com/live2/key"
        "rtmp://waw.contribute.live-video.net/app/key"
    ],
    "restream2":[
        "rtmps://example.com/app/key"
    ]
}

Point your encoder to rtmp://{host}/app/restream where host is IP address or DNS name of PC where program is running. Messages about restreaming should appear.
