How to push stream to AWS Elemental MediaLive Inputs?

Question

I have set up my streaming using MediaLive and MediaPackage and the problem is I don't know how to do RTP_PUSH?

Answer 1

You can use ffmpeg to send stream to AWS MediaLive RTP_Push input. See this sample command:

ffmpeg -re -i mySourceFile.ts -c copy -map 0 -f rtp_mpegts -fec prompeg=l=5:d=20
rtp://35.XX.XX.XX:5000

Details for command params

For more details refer to this document from AWS blog.

Answer 2

I recommend to use OBS https://obsproject.com/.

You can set up any video you want or capture your entire screen.

To set up stream:

1. Open Settings;
2. Open Stream tab;
3. Put your RTP URL;
4. Set key and close Settings;
5. Push button "Start Streaming"
