Your first stream

This walks from a fresh install to a stream you can watch. It assumes Jadarit is running and you have signed in.

In Settings → Stream, choose Custom and enter:

FieldValue
Serverrtmp://your-host:1935/default
Stream Keymystream

default is the application, and the stream key names the stream. A fresh install has ingest security set to Open, so any name works and no secret is needed. That is the development default. Before you expose the server, read Apps and keys.

Press Start Streaming. The stream appears on the dashboard within a second or two.

Jadarit ships a player page, ready to share:

http://your-host:9001/watch/default/mystream

It picks WebRTC where it can, for latency under a second, and falls back to HLS.

To use your own player, point it at the HLS playlist:

http://your-host:9001/live/default/mystream/playlist.m3u8
Terminal window
curl -s localhost:9001/api/v1/streams | jq

You should see your stream with its codecs and bitrate. For more detail:

Terminal window
curl -s localhost:9001/api/v1/apps/default/streams/mystream/stats | jq

Your encoder sent H.264 over RTMP. Jadarit parsed frame boundaries and repackaged the same compressed video into HLS segments and into WebRTC, without re-encoding it. Only the audio was converted, to AAC for HLS and Opus for WebRTC.
