  • This is an example of why you should never drink an entire bottle of cough syrup just before recording a technical video for YouTube.

  • Hello, could you tell me which command I receive an external SRT and convert it to a multicast UDP?

  • please tell where to see the info for integrating SRT with NGINX. Is it possible to capture srt stream on nginx server?

  • It may be useful to get guide about compilling ffmpeg with srt support. Not only static ffmpeg.

  • Whenever I try the step at 17:00, I get "Accepted SRT source connection". But right after that, I get "Segmentation fault (core dumped)". It is apparently a memory error that I tried to correct installing the SRT binaries in different locations, without success. Do you know if there is something I can do to fix this? Thanks for your help, and awesome video!

  • Great Starting Guide for SRT. I would love to see an tutorial on how to deploy a real SRT ingestion Server with ffmpeg that. I played around with combinations of srt-live-transmit and ffmpeg. I couldn't get a reliable setup working for SRT ingestion and HLS web delivery.
    Rtmp Nginx module is simply still more reliable, which is unfortunate.

  • i like that song. Thanks for the video. If possible show us with a real example with vmix or obs
