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.
1. Publish from OBS
Section titled “1. Publish from OBS”In Settings → Stream, choose Custom and enter:
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Server | rtmp://your-host:1935/default |
| Stream Key | mystream |
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.
2. Watch it
Section titled “2. Watch it”Jadarit ships a player page, ready to share:
http://your-host:9001/watch/default/mystreamIt 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.m3u83. Confirm from the API
Section titled “3. Confirm from the API”curl -s localhost:9001/api/v1/streams | jqYou should see your stream with its codecs and bitrate. For more detail:
curl -s localhost:9001/api/v1/apps/default/streams/mystream/stats | jqWhat just happened
Section titled “What just happened”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.
