Hi, i was thinking if is possible to add udp link?

My client is asking me to send udp video and i can send it from obs (Open Broadcaster Software). He is using static ip with vmix, im trying to send it from obs: udp://192.168.1.101:5500 (sample since the real ip is static).

The problem is that my client says that is showing stream error. Mikrotik router says that is receiving packages from that ip/port but not showing video. How can we call that port into vmix?

Thanks

Hi

to make it clear :

you want to use OBS to send an UDP stream to a remote computer with vMix over the internet, right ?

First, though it can be done with OBS, it's not the best tool to do it. Basically it's FFMPEG doing all the work, but OK. Even VLC is more optimized for this I think.

- Make sure to produce an Unicast UDP stream (not using a multicast address)
If the remote host is on the internet (not your LAN), you must use its public WAN IP address as a destination
- Your client must then "forward" all packets received from you on a defined port on his router to his vMix host IP address. This is often called "port mapping"
- When it's done, your client must use VLC input type in vMix and request for udp://@port (where port is the port number he set up in port mapping)

Advice : before going over the internet, test with a remote host on your LAN using VLC as a player.

Personnally, I would go the other way around and choose a Pull streaming protocol instead of a Push protocol. It would make it easier for your client to connect as it would be YOUR router that needs special setup.

Hope this helps
Guillaume

Thank you, router is ok since is receiving packets when i click "start record" on obs. Can you be more specific on this "VLC input type in vMix" how can be done?
Thanks

packages? I guess you mean packets
Start record? I don't know how you do, but it should be "start streaming"

My bad, packets sure. OBS has an option on RECORD SETTINGS TAB and from there you can record to C:\record or you can change it to udp://. So you are forced to use one button called START RECORD to stream over UDP. This is not the case anyway. I'm asking to stream from OBS to VMIX.
