Update: 03:48 I made a mistake. It should be this srt://{streaming-pc-ip-address}:{port}?mode=caller It should be ? not &. Give this a try if it didn't work for you. -- Who here uses a two PC setup?
Started doing two pc this year and probably won't go back. I had spare parts hanging around, so it felt like a no-brainer to at least try Teleport. Both of my NIC cards are 2.5gbe and I also have a 2.5 switch. It took all of about 10 minutes to get going, and its been going strong ever since. I haven't even bothered moving my alerts/sources over to the stream pc, because just the performance I got back from off-loading has been enough of a difference.
I do, only I use a mac mini instead of a pc for my output to stream. Because I am a masochist. Fighting NDI has been a great time. Definitely giving this a try when I get home from work. It would make life so much easier. Thanks again, Nutty.
This is also good because if your PC crashes, the stream isn't over. This is especially useful for people who stream on TH-cam, because if the stream crashes, you have to make a new video and lose all the people watching.
If you're using the SRT protocol for video streaming, you should be using port 2000. 22222 is not the move, ports all the way from port 1 up to port 49152 are almost all reserved by various technologies. If you want to use a different port than 2000 because there's a conflict, I'd recommend using a port between 49152 and 65535 which is the ephemeral port range.
Thanks for all the help - Just a FYI for anyone that is using Streaming labs & is a bit confused as no Media Source showing . Just pick Media File & untick Local File same thing
Hey there I was in the first 3 seconds! My video for 2 PC setups using OBS Teleport! Can't say I've had issues with it or know many people that have, but it's not the same for everyone. This method you're showing reminds me of the old NGINX based 2 PC setup configs, but wayyyyyyy easier. Super cool, dude!
In your intro you scrolled through all those tutorials I was sitting here nodding my head agreeing with you what you failed to mention, however, was how much funnier, and less of a time waste, this tutorial was. So thank you, for being you.
The persona BG music had me so confused for a second cause I wasn't sure if it was actually the song. But it worked really well for the video. This is a really cool method for Collab content too or for multiple perspective videos.
You make a lot of big brain and complex stuff but for some reason this one just hits different. I just moved and was just setting up my two PC setup again. NDI was being buggy as per usual. I literally ask myself if there a way I could just send my native stream output from OBS to my streaming PC. Definitely going to try this. Going to compare the quality to NDI (which isn't great as is), and the performance. Thanks for all your S tier help nutella
This actually might work for me. I have a gaming laptop and I've been thinking about getting a desktop. I'd make the desktop new one my gaming PC to crank quality of the game, and leave the laptop my streaming/editing PC because I can go sit on the couch and edit, lol. Gonna save this one to my streaming hacks playlist. Thanks for this video, nutty!
I could see doing this over a LAN by just replacing the public IP address with the local IP address of the PC you're streaming to. At the same time this would easily work over long distances as well. Thanks for the video man!
I am rocking 3 pc setup. one streaming laptop, one gaming pc, one Android and emulation and sketching pc. This guy helped me so much and now gone add 4pc to stream afk Minecraft grind on stream
I just commented here but I can't find it back, so until I do here's a detail I missed that completely goofed up my setup: make sure you use a question mark symbol after your ip address and port on the receiving computer. If you use an ampersand it will not work and OBS will throw the error shown at 9:10 as well!
Damn this is a bit of an ancient method, I remember wanting to start streaming back in like 2015/2016 and I only had my average performance gaming PC at the time and I found a guy who made a tutorial on 2 PC streaming doing exactly this, but instead of doing it wirelessly he hooked an ethernet cable up between the two PC's, that could allow the gaming PC to send that insane bitrate I'm assuming with little to no issues if it's over Ethernet
@@boosivemotorsportofficial Yeah I can't imagine the latency would be high enough to have a noticable impact, but there would still technically be latency, cause physics.
With the new 30.1.0 make sure you turn off hardware encoder or else it will give you a black screen and only audio. There is a bug apparently in that version.
@@rodrigodealexandre No probelm lmao I feel you I spent nearly all day yesterday trying to figure out what I did wrong. Mind you this is the first time I have ever used OBS. I watched this video soooo many times thinking I missed something.
I have never commented on any of your videos before but I must say a BIG Thanks to you for all your amazing tutorial videos. I watch almost all your videos just to learn new things related to streaming. I might/might not use them but the information I get is always helpful and interesting. Keep them coming. Thank you again
This method uses your Local Area Network to send the stream from gaming PC to Streaming PC before finally sending it off the the internet. It's worth noting that for best results you definitely want both PCs to have a wired connection to your router and hopefully both PCs as well as the router have 2.5Gb ethernet ports
absolutely not needed for srt streaming pc to pc, you wont need anything other then your standard gigabyte (hell 100mb is more then enough for this) unless you are trying to do multiple uncompressed ndi signals.
Mine didn't work at first until I realized that BOTH PCs have to be "Streaming PC's" IP address. I was putting in Gaming PC IP in Gaming PC Settings. After I made that change it worked. Thanks!!
I just wanna say thanks for all the great content you deliver. Half the time I'm not ~ really ~ interested in what you're showing, I just think it's super cool you're going above and beyond to innovate and come up with new ways! 🙂 Also, you're super entertaining!!! We love your sense of humor!
For everyone else running into the "unable to connect" or "Stream key required" error! Here's what worked for me. For reasons I can't figure out setting both PC's to caller mode [srt:{ipaddress}:{port}?mode=caller] got them to communicate and now it works perfectly
I ran into this issue as well and I resolved it by not using the '&' on the gaming pc and replaced it with '?' to match the syntax used on the Streaming pc
@@The_Communal_Grind I noticed the same issue with the “&” and swapping it with the “?” fixed it but it’s weird that I have to have both machines set to caller
@@kuhnootlesTTV have you tried replacing “caller” or “listener” with “rendezvous”on both machines, Apparently that’s another mode for this sort of stream setup
@@CrookedMustacheGaming I have not! I was in the process of trying this NDI plugin as I keep seeing that in the comments haha. I will try the "rendezvous" option now as well. Thanks for the quick reply!
So is this basically a simpler method to NDI, whilst having the same pros and cons? I've been using NDI, but if this helps a little more for performance, I'm willing to switch over!
One of the great advantages of this method is that you have all the flexibility of encoder options that OBS Studio supports. So you can tune your settings to use the exact network bandwidth you specify, with the exact encoder and encoder options you want. All without installing anything other than OBS. There is a little rendering overhead, but that's why I recommend keeping the gaming PC's OBS layout as simple as possible.
@@nuttylmao Yup! That's exactly how I've been treating OBS with the NDI plugin, just an empty/clean OBS installation, sending 20k bitrate with nvenc to my streaming PC. I play competitively so if this method works out help push out a bit more performance, I'd switch in a heartbeat!
cool concept if you have mad resources and hardware, but essentially tripling your total load, including limiting your total network bandwidth (20k bitrate on local traffic plus the 6K on Twitch upload) on this method
Oh thank you so much, I can't play games and have my vtuber going at the same time, so I was hoping to have my model set up on a second computer. I hope this works well, thank you again!
Awesome video! Because I'm so Effing supergood at gaming. I'm def gonna need that dual settup so I can watch myself ragdoll out the windshield of my car and see a WASTED sign pop up without any latency drag. Because, I am a king,
I have had Issues where a game lags because of OBS hogging a lot of the Vram on my 8g 4060, so this would def help. Just need someone to buy me a second PC Thaanks lol. Seriously though this simplifies the process and as usual nutty you explained it in a articulate and easy to follow way. GG sir
You solved something for me that I could not figure out for the past 10 years. Thank you!! I have a very particular situation with a minidisplayport on a digitizing tablet from 2014 causing issues which makes it so I cannot use a capture card. AHHhhhh I'm so grateful you made this video even if you did not expect it to do well in analytics, and I'm so happy I finally found a solution T__T
Helped alot thankyou! my gaming pc was not quite strong enough to support everything i was running while streaming and this took a massive load of my pc. I FOLLOWEED ALL YOUR SOCIALS THANKYOU
You know i follow you on twitch but don't chat much, and i finally subbed on youtube. Hope your views get up, you're super informative and i like your satire. Keep at it, i also just ordered a thermal printer from one of your other vids~ Thanks a bunch.
I had just about figured out my two PC set up using an HDMI camera link to capture video from my PC. Technically more simple than a game capture, but also pretty much the same thing because it's a pain to get audio sources... I have considered this method, but really wasn't sure if it saved a significant enough portion of the gaming PC when you're still encoding, and sending data across your network. Also, both my two computers are semi-Potatos so I need every gigzhert I can get.
this is also a good method for couples and friends who stream and want to play games or draw art side by side on the same stream. i know some freinds who use discord streaming for this. but i think this will work allot better than that for them.
Truly cool, nutty! Thank you, this makes so much sense to divvy up the tasks. Also, your unexplainable port addition fix is fun; another scratch-the-head "I dunno, but it makes things work properly" drop-in. More Cool. So, more thanks!
really useful video actually, and also helped I was able to buy a windows key at a reasonable price via that link, my PC didnt have one set up for over a year
Great video. I have two pcs. A video with the specs of both of your computers would be great. Also subbed. You deserve it because you remind me of the Mortal Kombat character SHANG TSUNG and I love your humor. FINISH HIM!!!! 👊👊👊😂😂😂
This is an excellent idea for the future. So far I have only one laptop, but in the future I hope to have dedicated PC's for various things. Your ideas will come in handy then!
FIXES: - Check which IPv4 Address you're using, you may have multiple. If your STREAMING PC is Wifi, use the "Wireless" IPv4. - Use a "?" instead of a "&" for both PCs. - Switch ports around on both, matching every time. - Remove "?" and "&" entirely These are the fixes I've seen others comment worked for them, for me it was the first one.
Hey nutty, watched again, so adding another comment, recently I started a new Minecraft Modded series, with the lack of a replay mod, I am using this method to use a second account to record time lapses and so forth!
I am not able to get it to work, I went ad looked on my streaming PC for an open port. I found it and enter all the info as listed on the video but I get an error. "Failed to connect to the streaming server. Please check your internet connection."
7:33 Hmm so are you sending it over Internet or LAN? Either way, if you can do LAN, or even maybe if its not. Im pretty sure you can use an Ethernet cable to connect both PC's. Just an idea that i know works for files but if it does work, im sure you could bump up the Bitrate a good amount. Only downside i can think of is that you may need another way to connect another Ethernet cable to your PC, as wireless prob wouldn't be too good for streaming
Great vid. I've been on the NDI struggle bus for quite some time and I'm going to give this a try. NDI's overhead and network requirements are annoying.
I'm gonna have to give this a shot... Just to take the cameras, stream deck, plugins, programs, addons, overlays, etc. to the other PC. I don't even have a real reason to... but it'd be nice to just have my old rig sitting in the closet with my old 970's take care of it all, if they could. I used to use NDI along time ago, but it was just too much of a PITA. I'm more hopeful that this saves on some E-Waste than anything for some people, honestly.
I think I commented before, but I'd ran into that issue testing a mobile streaming setup. I'm back combining this with the tips from your 4k capture card process to try out a different idea lol
I actually use a older dell optiplex with an i7 6700 and gtx 1650 to run obs and use the 1650's encoder to encode the stream. My main pc uses a 5800x and 6800xt so using the 6000 series's shifty h 264/265 encoder yielded terrible results. So far doing this using a capture card has given me great results. I'm able to actually utilize my 1gb internet to its fullest now and run a 1440p 13500kbps stream without frame drops. Before introducing the optiplex w/ 1650, 1440p streams were a pipe dream.
Capture card is the ideal way to do this, but ofc you have to buy one and it introduces its own set of complexities which you are probably aware of. This is really more for people that want something free or want to have multiple "sets" to stream from (e.g. A kitchen set, a lounge set, a gaming set etc.).
Personally I think the way I’d do it is have the gaming as stuff optimized for gaming, and streaming would have stuff that works well for video editing
I ran into this issue as well and I resolved it by not using the '&' on the gaming pc and replaced it with '?' to match the syntax used on the Streaming pc. ie. srt://192.168.0.10:22222?mode=caller instead of srt://192.168.0.10:22222&mode=caller

@@The_Communal_Grind Have tried this with no luck, curious if you have any other suggestions? Not sure what else it could be! Have watched the video quite a few times and everything else is correct.
Heya! love this setup! I play music on my gaming machine, is there any way for me to get VOD tracks or something over to the other machine? What do you suggest?
I use NDI (hx) as it is probably the most stable/reliable streaming protocol I've ever used, and works over wifi, but I think I'll give SRT a try. While latency is not as good as NDI, It might be good enough, and I don't have to install proprietary software. Also someday, we might get good WebRTC support on OBS to replace these.
how do you get audio to be separate using ndi? ill been going nuts trying to figure out how i can seperate my mic and pc audio as having no options to turn down the gaming volume or adjust my microphone seperately is so annoying and not good for streaming. It just comes in all at once using NDI and if i do obs to obs fixing the volume settings on the gaming pc for my desktop audio and microphone has no effect when it reaches my streaming pc.
One thing I didn't notice you cover was getting Audio over to the Stream PC. I had to tik the option to capture audio on the Game Capture bit of my Gaming PC OBS also turning on the Audio track for it. Obvs if you have your sound setup in settings, you can probably skip this step. Curious your thoughts on how this works compared to say Teleport plugin. I assume it does pretty much the same thing minus the plugin.
Been using 2 pc setup for about 10 months now. I'm trying to configure them both the proper way instead of the gaming computer crashing and losing the stream. Your suggestions have helped but was not working through OBS only, had to enable teleport. It's working now but sound issues I'm working through.

I've been researching it today, funnily enough lol
Started doing two pc this year and probably won't go back. I had spare parts hanging around, so it felt like a no-brainer to at least try Teleport.

I haven't even bothered moving my alerts/sources over to the stream pc, because just the performance I got back from off-loading has been enough of a difference.

Time scaling becomes more non-existant, the more recognized papers you have.
This is also good because if your PC crashes, the stream isn't over. This is especially useful for people who stream on TH-cam, because if the stream crashes, you have to make a new video and lose all the people watching.
If you're using the SRT protocol for video streaming, you should be using port 2000.
22222 is not the move, ports all the way from port 1 up to port 49152 are almost all reserved by various technologies.
If you want to use a different port than 2000 because there's a conflict, I'd recommend using a port between 49152 and 65535 which is the ephemeral port range.

- Check which IPv4 Address you're using, you may have multiple. If your STREAMING PC is Wifi, use the "Wireless" IPv4.
- Use a "?" instead of a "&" for both PCs.
- Switch ports around on both, matching every time.
- Remove "?" and "&" entirely
These are the fixes I've seen others comment worked for them, for me it was the first one.
Oh my god my chat message made it to the video LMAO where all my ONCEs at? 😂
🍭🍭
“You’re super good at gaming… King”. Felt called out lowkey lol
Thanks bro! Never gonna use this... but also... Never gonna give you up... never gonna say goodbye!
Hey nutty, watched again, so adding another comment, recently I started a new Minecraft Modded series, with the lack of a replay mod, I am using this method to use a second account to record time lapses and so forth!
I almost exclusively game on console so this was pretty useless for me.
I just watched this because I like to learn, and your jokes make me smile.
Sir can I stream ndi from 2 PCs from different internet??
It’s such a good idea!! Unfortunately no one watches my streams so I have no reason to invest in another pc at this time 🤣🤣
Same here, and I just bought 2 Stream Decks.
Sup nutty, I am about to get a second PC and might as well make my old PC as a streaming PC and came upon this. Thanks.
9:25 - I am still here Nutty 😅 and I don't even need this, I have a 3 PC setup with capture cards LOL... Love the content dude.
when i try to stream on the gaming pc it says check stream key
same
have you fixed it yet ?
Facts same here smh
He forgot to mention that it should be "?mode=listener" not "&mode=listener". At least fixed the problem for me.
it should be "?mode=listener" not "&mode=listener".
I am not able to get it to work, I went ad looked on my streaming PC for an open port. I found it and enter all the info as listed on the video but I get an error. "Failed to connect to the streaming server. Please check your internet connection."
On Gaming PC - Turn the server to Twitch (if you had that set up before). Turn off enhanced broadcasting. Then switch back to custom.
7:33 Hmm so are you sending it over Internet or LAN? Either way, if you can do LAN, or even maybe if its not. Im pretty sure you can use an Ethernet cable to connect both PC's. Just an idea that i know works for files but if it does work, im sure you could bump up the Bitrate a good amount. Only downside i can think of is that you may need another way to connect another Ethernet cable to your PC, as wireless prob wouldn't be too good for streaming
Great vid. I've been on the NDI struggle bus for quite some time and I'm going to give this a try. NDI's overhead and network requirements are annoying.
failed to connect to server from gaming pc when i hit start streaming, everythings typed out right i dont get it lol

@@canuckpaul what do you mean
@@canuckpaul can you help
i got it thanks boss man that was much help
2:55 AY YO
Brilliant idea, didn't know about this. Will give it a shot 👊
I'm gonna have to give this a shot... Just to take the cameras, stream deck, plugins, programs, addons, overlays, etc. to the other PC. I don't even have a real reason to... but it'd be nice to just have my old rig sitting in the closet with my old 970's take care of it all, if they could. I used to use NDI along time ago, but it was just too much of a PITA. I'm more hopeful that this saves on some E-Waste than anything for some people, honestly.
Slam-Dunked! it worked, Thanks Nutty.
Next up: Nutty releases new method that doesn't even need a second PC.
Thank you for the info!
Nutty: “decent network connection”
Me: nvm, back to only one setup…
I think I commented before, but I'd ran into that issue testing a mobile streaming setup. I'm back combining this with the tips from your 4k capture card process to try out a different idea lol
I actually use a older dell optiplex with an i7 6700 and gtx 1650 to run obs and use the 1650's encoder to encode the stream. My main pc uses a 5800x and 6800xt so using the 6000 series's shifty h 264/265 encoder yielded terrible results. So far doing this using a capture card has given me great results. I'm able to actually utilize my 1gb internet to its fullest now and run a 1440p 13500kbps stream without frame drops. Before introducing the optiplex w/ 1650, 1440p streams were a pipe dream.
Capture card is the ideal way to do this, but ofc you have to buy one and it introduces its own set of complexities which you are probably aware of.
This is really more for people that want something free or want to have multiple "sets" to stream from (e.g. A kitchen set, a lounge set, a gaming set etc.).
Gonna use this with my drawing laptop to get the feed over to my stream PC! Thanks dude!
I try same as you do but it gives me the error "there may be problem with connecting to server"
Thinking of setting up a two pc setup, my main pc on one monitor and then use a touch screen all in one pc for the streaming pc 😊
i upvoted bc you mentioned the alternatives
+1 For the Itzy Bet on Me clip. Love your content!
Great vid, love your style. The outro was gold btw xD
THIS IS CRAZY THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! Keep up the good work
update!the vieos is doing well
Personally I think the way I’d do it is have the gaming as stuff optimized for gaming, and streaming would have stuff that works well for video editing
Yo I dnt even subscribe to nun but u got mine from ur personality
Cant get it to work ;-( Keeps saying "Cannot access the specified channel or stream key"
Ndi works fine so I know its not a connection issue 😞
I ran into this issue as well and I resolved it by not using the '&' on the gaming pc and replaced it with '?' to match the syntax used on the Streaming pc. ie. srt://192.168.0.10:22222?mode=caller instead of srt://192.168.0.10:22222&mode=caller
@@The_Communal_Grind omg, thank you it worked for me after using the ? instead of the &
@@The_Communal_Grind I changed the & to the ? and I still get the error asking for a stream key. anyone try anything else?

@@canuckpaul CONFIRMED WORKING!!
Yeah mine says “could not access the specified channel or stream key..”
same, have you figured it out yet?
HELL no lowkey gave up trying.. says you need some type of hdmi adapter thingy..@@dareal_kennysan333
Anything yet

@@The_Communal_Grind Have tried this with no luck, curious if you have any other suggestions? Not sure what else it could be! Have watched the video quite a few times and everything else is correct.
Heya! love this setup! I play music on my gaming machine, is there any way for me to get VOD tracks or something over to the other machine? What do you suggest?
I use NDI (hx) as it is probably the most stable/reliable streaming protocol I've ever used, and works over wifi, but I think I'll give SRT a try. While latency is not as good as NDI, It might be good enough, and I don't have to install proprietary software. Also someday, we might get good WebRTC support on OBS to replace these.
how do you get audio to be separate using ndi? ill been going nuts trying to figure out how i can seperate my mic and pc audio as having no options to turn down the gaming volume or adjust my microphone seperately is so annoying and not good for streaming. It just comes in all at once using NDI and if i do obs to obs fixing the volume settings on the gaming pc for my desktop audio and microphone has no effect when it reaches my streaming pc.
Have you used any digital mixers? I use voice meter on my desktops and I use rode's unity on my laptop.
One thing I didn't notice you cover was getting Audio over to the Stream PC. I had to tik the option to capture audio on the Game Capture bit of my Gaming PC OBS also turning on the Audio track for it. Obvs if you have your sound setup in settings, you can probably skip this step. Curious your thoughts on how this works compared to say Teleport plugin. I assume it does pretty much the same thing minus the plugin.
Thsnks for the information. I use a dual pc setup and will stick to the capture card method for now. Keep more content coming ❤
Thank you! So much for this
lmao that closing
Been using 2 pc setup for about 10 months now. I'm trying to configure them both the proper way instead of the gaming computer crashing and losing the stream. Your suggestions have helped but was not working through OBS only, had to enable teleport. It's working now but sound issues I'm working through.
