It would be neat to be able to receive RTMP streams directly in vMix, without the need to use an external 3rd party service as "middleman".
This would not only cut out the need for a middleman, but also simplify the entire configuration and reduce latency.
I would think it could be implemented quite easily, as all prerequisites are probably already there.
How I see it used:
1) you add an input of type "RTMP Server"
This generates an input with a GUID like any other input.
2) Leveraging the existing webserver in vMix, you simply stream to RTMP://[IP address]:[port-of-vMixWebserver]/rtmpinput/[inputGUID]

nginx rtmp server can also deal with this, but generaly i am kinda against "software mediators" once the thing could be done by only one software...

But we have all the (Lego)bricks and pieces already in vMix. They just need to be put together slightly differently than they are now. As when you add a vMix Call, a unique ID is generated. RTMP server in vMix could be similar: add an RTMP Server input - vMix generates a unique input URL you can add to your camera: off to the races you go...

It just adds to complexity and reduce reliability. ...and I feel the same in regard to "virtual audio cables". They shouldn't be nessesary, neither for audio input or output in vMix.

I would strongly recommend using SRT instead of RTMP from the 80's

According to your statement, not anymore, since RTMP is from the 80s. Only when I read the settings of Youtube, it should still be up to date. Only from SRT I can not read anything. Youtube encoder settings: Protocol: RTMP streaming

What I wanted to say is that RTMP is relatively old compared to SRT. Both are protocolls. I would recommend using SRT instead of RTMP. Undoubtly RTMP is widespread and popular, but just because of that it does not mean it's the better solution.
SRT can be added easily as a source. Why would you want a rtmp server function if srt is already there and is the better protocol.

But that doesn't change the fact that the number of devices supporting RTMP is 100-fold greater than the number supporting SRT. Besides, you can already send SRT to vMix in much the same way I am suggesting is made for RTMP.

hi all,
Respectfully, i really need to express some things to vmix team in this post, related to the vmix live show december 2022.
yesterday, Tim and Martin answered the question about RTMP server integration on vMix, Thanks for your attention.
Apparently, in their point of view, due to new other protocols available (such as SRT), Martin said RTMP is obsolete.
Personal questions:
*the understanding of "obsolete" means product strategy target, code complexity or something more?
*about SRT, can you find some software on the market which have some Start/Stop stream button for a custom SRT based livestream? (not bad idea turn this as feature request, as you wish)
Personaly, i think vMix itself will not turn obsolete by implement an "apparently" obsolete feature which keep being the MOST USED PROTOCOL FOR LIVESTREAMING, even in 2022.
Remembering vmix has integration with ffmpeg, which itself is capable to do a command line based rtmp server and can make more easy to put all things together.
so, after all that said, why don't you guys give a try on it? did you remember the market breakthrough when vMix come out with multicorder? recently, streamlabs came out with similar feature, but there's no comparison to vMix's multicorder.
about this feature specificaly, no other livestream software can host an rtmp server, an important feature like this, its not only a personal whish, its a market need, think about it.
whish you guys the best, you are the best, merry christmas y'all.
melody
