I just saw that wirecast 6.0.7 supports facebook live. Any plan to add this as a destination to vmix?

Facebook Live was release a week ago and I just found out that Wirecast will support it in their newest version.

It would be great to have it supported by Vmix as well!

Regards,
Patrick

As I still own a license for Wirecast 6 I tried the update earlier today. It's ok.

Wirecast (or any third party streaming source) must authenticate to FB. It appears that only 720p30 is supported at the moment.

Wirecast actually creates the event on FB when streaming starts. That's quite different from the historical way of using YouTube, which required the event to be created in advance. It's more like the latest YouTube Live events.

Facebook Live doesn't need to have added support to work. You can see how to stream here

But note that it requires that you have a verified page at the moment.

What livestream has in beta is the possibility to stream on an non-verified page. I don't know how that works in detail, but it seems to be a different way of streaming or authentication, seems to be not the rtmp(s) way fb already offers for verified pages. Would love to see this other connection on vMix soon, as not everybody has verified pages... especially people on a budget/ new pages.

Do you have a source for the non-verified page compability part? I'm really interested in this as the verification part is a huge hassle really

We have a verified page, and still have no option to set up live events. All attempts to contact Facebook to ask for options have been met with silence.

The only thing I can see which might give a clue is that our page is verified with a black icon rather than a blue one. It is not clear to me whether this is the problem or how to solve it. Any advice much appreciated.

In any case, I'd like to add a vote for this feature in vMix.

And my fanpage is not verified :)

You need access to https://developers.facebook.com/apps/

"Add a New App"

After you fill the form You will get Your app id

Then make a html file.

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="pl" lang="pl" dir="ltr">
<head>
	<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
</head>
<body>

<script>
  window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
    FB.init({
      appId      : 'your-app-id',
      xfbml      : true,
      version    : 'v2.6'
    });
  };

  (function(d, s, id){
     var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
     if (d.getElementById(id)) {return;}
     js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
     js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js";
     fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
   }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));
</script>


<button id="liveButton">Create Live Stream To Facebook</button>
<script>
document.getElementById('liveButton').onclick = function() {
  FB.ui({
    display: 'popup',
    method: 'live_broadcast',
    phase: 'create',
}, function(response) {
    if (!response.id) {
      alert('dialog canceled');
      return;
    }
    alert('stream url:' + response.secure_stream_url);
    FB.ui({
      display: 'popup',
      method: 'live_broadcast',
      phase: 'publish',
      broadcast_data: response,
    }, function(response) {
    alert("video status: \n" + response.status);
    });
  });
};
</script>

</body>
</html>

So I used the demo version of Wirecast 6 to set up live streams on Facebook by way of a test. We did that twice and it worked. This evening the archive versions of the streams were removed from our timeline by Facebook and now Wirecast reports:

"Error Accessing App - We're sorry, but the application you're trying to use doesn't exist or has been disabled."

Anyone else that is using Wirecast or the api been banned in this way?

@r@wisla thankyou for your instructions worked perfectly (took me a couple minutes to work how to use it) but
I have attached a confirmation screen shot of Facebook Live working with Vmix

But I found that if I stop the connection in vmix I have to create a new event as I need a new Streamkey to stream again successfully. Not sure if that is Facebook issue or ffmpeg fault. Posted error below.

I've got the html code with my app id, but nothing happens on my browser. I've used IE and disabled the security features, but I can't get past the Create Live Stream To Facebook button.

Did I miss a step somewhere?

Run it on a local webserver. I found that I had same issue until I placed into my local IIS

Also the url that you have for the app must match what you set for app on facebook eg http://localhost:8xxx

vMix just published this video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHdY8OLTSZY

I wanted to write: hold on guys, many of us don't have this "publishing tools -> live video" section because our fanpage is non-verified page.

BUT I checked now and this section is now available even if my fanpage is still not verified!

Check your fanpages. I wonder if Facebook added this to everyone or it is available for my fanpage, because I applied this FACEBOOK API HTML FILE trick I explained earlier here >>

I need to give a shout-out to vMix and their support staff for helping me in getting my first Facebook Live video posted tonight.
After they got me straightened out, vMix17 worked flawlessly. As it usually goes, the problem was with the user [ME], not vMix17 (LOL).

Thanks Again,

~George R
