Instructions setting up Nginx+RTMP

FIRST INSTALL THESE USEFUL / REQUIRED PACKAGES

    sudo apt-get install wget unzip software-properties-common dpkg-dev git make gcc automake build-essential zlib1g-dev libpcre3 libpcre3-dev libssl-dev libxslt1-dev libxml2-dev libgd-dev libgeoip-dev libgoogle-perftools-dev libperl-dev pkg-config autotools-dev gpac ffmpeg mediainfo mencoder lame libvorbisenc2 libvorbisfile3 libx264-dev libvo-aacenc-dev libmp3lame-dev libopus-dev unzip

ADD THE NGINX REPOSITORY AND UPDATE

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nginx/stable
    apt update

INSTALL NGINX

    sudo apt install nginx

INSTALL THE RTMP MODULE

    sudo apt install libnginx-mod-rtmp

CLONE THE RTMP GIT

    cd /usr/src
    git clone https://github.com/arut/nginx-rtmp-module

COPY THE STAT.XSL FILE TO YOUR WEB FOLDER

    cp /usr/src/nginx-rtmp-module/stat.xsl /var/www/html/stat.xsl

CREATE A NEW FILE CALLED CROSSDOMAIN.XML IN YOUR WEB FOLDER

    nano /var/www/html/crossdomain.xml

PASTE THIS IN THE NEW FILE AND SAVE IT

    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.adobe.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">
    <cross-domain-policy>
    <allow-access-from domain="*"/>
    </cross-domain-policy>

EDIT THE NGINX CONDIF FILE

    nano /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

AT THE END OF THE FILE ADD THIS

rtmp {
        server {
            listen 1935;
            chunk_size 4096;

            application live {
            live on;
            record off;
            interleave off;
            wait_key on;
            meta on;
            wait_video off;
            idle_streams off;
            sync 300ms;
            session_relay on;
            #allow publish 127.0.0.1;
            #allow publish 192.168.2.0/24;
            allow publish all;
            #deny publish all;
            allow play all;

            # EDIT THESE SO THE LIVESTREAM_KEY IS REPLACED BY YOUR PERSONAL KEY THAT YOU CAN LOOK UP ON THE SITE OF THE PLATFORM
            # push rtmp://live-ams.twitch.tv/app/LIVESTREAM_KEY;
            # push rtmp://a.rtmp.youtube.com/live2/LIVESTREAM_KEY;
            # push rtmp://ingest-ams.mixer.com:1935/beam/LIVESTREAM_KEY;
            }
        }
}

EDIT THE DEFAULT SITE CONFIG

    nano /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default

SEARCH FOR THE FOLLOWING LINES:

    #location ~ /\.ht {
    #   deny all;

AND DIRECTLY UNDER IT PASTE THE FOLLOWING

    location /stat {
        rtmp_stat all;
        rtmp_stat_stylesheet stat.xsl;
    }
    location /stat.xsl {
        root /var/www/html/;
    }
    #location /control {
    # you'll need a htpasswd auth file, that's outside the scope of this doc but any apache one will work
    #   auth_basic "stream";
    #   rtmp_control all;
    #}

SO THAT IT WILL LOOK SOMETHING LIKE THIS AFTER PASTING:


    # deny access to .htaccess files, if Apache's document root
    # concurs with nginx's one
    #
    #location ~ /\.ht {
    #   deny all;
    #}

    location /stat {
        rtmp_stat all;
        rtmp_stat_stylesheet stat.xsl;
    }
    location /stat.xsl {
        root /var/www/html/;
    }
    #location /control {
    # you'll need a htpasswd auth file, that's outside the scope of this doc but any apache one will work
    #   auth_basic "stream";
    #   rtmp_control all;
    #}
}

# Virtual Host configuration for example.com
