Network inputs/RTMP input

The RTMP input source can be used to subscribe to an external RTMP/RTMPS streaming source. The component supports both audio and video.

• Configuration
  • Remote server address - The RTMP(S) playout address. Example: rtmp://rtmp.vindralcdn.com/publish/mystream
  • Automatically reconnect - If this option is active, a lost RTMP connection will try to reconnect.
  • Reconnect intervall (ms) - Time before next reconnecting attempt.
  • Buffer length (ms) - Buffer of video in Composer before playing content. (Used to avoid stuttering and choppy video)
  • Delay initial connect (ms) - When the Composer application starts, delay initial connect to the rtmp stream. (default 0ms, this is to avoid any connection errors when Composer is starting up)
• Commands
  • Connect - Button, connect to "remote server address"
  • Disconnect - Button, disconnect current rtmp stream
• Connection state
  • Connection status - Current state of connection
  • Message - Mini log message.
• Performance and properties
  • Automatic reconnects performed - Number of reconnects
  • Buffering state - Current buffering state
  • Video buffer size (frames) - Number of frames in video buffer
  • Video buffer size (ms) - Number of milliseconds in video buffer
  • Audio buffer size (ms) - Number of milliseconds in audio buffer 
  • Number of flushes performed - Number of flushes performed
• Playback statistic
  • Timestamp since start* - Debug info
  • VideoTimeStamp* - Debug info 
  • AudioTimeStamp* - Debug info
  • VideoPacketTimeStamp* -  Debug info
  • AudioPacketTimeStamp* -  Debug info
  • PacketTimeStampDiff* -  Debug info
  • ExpectedVideoPtsDelta* - Debug info 
  • Stream time - Playback time since connected (Time code) in hours:minutes:seconds:frames. 
• Stream statistics
  • Video stream info - Video information
  • Audio stream info - Audio information
• Optional TAGS (space separated)
  • TAGS - Add a "tag"  that can be used in the input smart search function. It is possible to add several tags by separating them by a SPACE char.
