Publish RTMPS

Enable RTMPS

info

Starting in v2.14, you can enable or disable RTMPS via server settings rather than editing XML files. This allows for easy and hassle-free configuration. It also restores even after a server upgrade, whereas previously it did not restore in XML files.

Follow below steps to enable/disable the RTMPS:

• Go to the conf folder under antmedia folder

  cd /usr/local/antmedia/conf/

• Edit the red5.properties file. “

Note- If you’re upgrading from older version where RTMPS settings were in XML, the red5.properties approach takes precedence in v2.14+

sudo nano red5.properties

• Enable/Disable the RTMPS

  rtmps.enabled=true

  By default it is enabled now and works on TCP port 8443. Ensure port 8443 is open in your server’s firewall.

• After changing the settings, restart the server

  sudo service antmedia restart

Publish RTMPS Stream

To publish the RTMPS stream, follow this OBS tutorial for reference and instead of using the simple RTMP endpoint, use the below RTMPS endpoint.

rtmps://domain-name:8443/live/streamId

Check out the playback guide to play your RTMPS stream with WebRTC, HLS etc.
