Heya, I’ll recommend using Nginx to see how it goes. Nginx with the RTMP module. This setup will allow you to stream your content to various platforms. Step 1: Install Nginx and the RTMP Module Update and install dependencies: sudo apt update sudo apt install build-essential libpcre3 libpcre3-dev libssl-dev Download and compile Nginx with the RTMP module: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nginx/stable sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install libnginx-mod-rtmp Step 2: Configure Nginx for RTMP Edit the Nginx configuration file (usually located at /usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf): sudo nano /usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf Add the following configuration for RTMP: worker_processes 1; events { worker_connections 1024; } http { include mime.types; default_type application/octet-stream; sendfile on; keepalive_timeout 65; server { listen 8080; server_name localhost; location / { root html; index index.html index.htm; } location /live { types { application/vnd.apple.mpegurl m3u8; video/mp2t ts; } alias /tmp; expires -1; add_header Cache-Control no-cache; } } } rtmp { server { listen 1935; chunk_size 4096; application live { live on; record off; allow publish all; allow play all; } } } Save and exit the editor. Step 3: Start Nginx Start the Nginx server: systemctl start nginx Step 4: Stream to Your RTMP Server You can use a software encoder like OBS Studio to stream to your RTMP server. In OBS, set your streaming URL to rtmp://your_server_ip/live and set the stream key as you like (e.g., myStream). Step 5: Access Your Stream For Roku and other platforms , you can provide the RTMP URL rtmp://your_server_ip/live/myStream. For your website , you can use a video player that supports HLS (HTTP Live Streaming). You can use the m3u8 playlist served by Nginx. For example, the URL would be http://your_server_ip:8080/live/myStream.m3u8.
