for those having issues with this, do it the opposite way! Put listener to the main obs which you want the screen being captured and the receiving computer is actually the "caller" dont ask me why!
I know it's been 2 years since this video was released but I just bought a sony zve10 2 that has srt capabilities, I wonder if by any long chance, would you know how to set that up so I can use it to stream, it would be amazing to do so wireless, specially for events
Thanks so much! I have no access to the router for port forwarding but thankfully I can use my VPN to get a VPN IP and port forwarding from it. I wanted to ask if you have an idea how I could receive the video stream on VLC? I’d like to simple watch it full screen with audio when I need. I tried clicking “Open Network Stream” and putting the same listener link but it doesn’t load it.
You can recieve the stream in VLC no problem. In VLC, click "Media" in the top, then "Open Network Stream". Put the URL you put in the RX OBS in that window.
Hey Jeisson, SRT can be sent to multiple places at once, but not in the way we have it setup here. This tutorial is for P2P (peer2peer) transmission which is unicast. Another tutorial we will be putting out eventually is how to setup a nimble SRT server, which may be able to help you out here. Stay tuned for that!
I just cant get it to work. OBS says "Could not access the specified channel or stream key, please double-check your stream key. If it is correct, there may be a problem connecting to the server." I don't have anything in stream key.
If you've connected multiple cameras/ports can the receiver be in full control of all inported SRTs / switch in between each camera, and format their outputting main stream (multiple scenes with two cameras at once, etc.) without the sender's knowledge or needing the sender to do anything?
Im running in to an issue when i put the srt address in the streaming location, i would still like to record locally. After a while the port just doesn't connect anymore.
Hi, I'm trying to connect an OBS laptop with a Vmix PC but I don't get a connection even though I've set up al the port forwardings... The OBS says "couldn't open srt://publicIP:portnr?latency=x' , I/O error. Any help ?
So I have tried this over and over and over again doing everything step by step and when I click start streaming or recording it wont work. Feel like there is something I am doing wrong or something I am missing.
Could be many things. 1: ports not forwarded correctly 2: incorrect public and/or private IP address 3: windows firewall blocking ports 4: receiving OBS not ready to receive the feed (not open, or incorrect media source settings) Let me know what you've tried
1. If I don't have the admin password for the router/switch/etc. itself, will this be _at all_ possible? 2. If I'm using a "virtual" network, where a streaming-specific "virtual" network/port was created to separate from the main network to secure bandwidth, would any of these instructions change? 3. Following up on #2, if this is the case for my network, can I get away with an NDI setup and "cross" from one virtual network to the other?
1: It might be possible in Rendezvous mode, but I have not been able to get that working in OBS yet. Beyond that, it's only possible to send a feed from behind a closed NAT. To receive one you would need to forward a port through, or use a relay server as an intermediate step. (Tutorial coming soon for that) 2: The instructions should be the same even while using a virtual network tunneling service like ZeroTeir. You would just use the virtual network internal IP instead of your public one. 3: NDI should work across virtual networks, just be sure to use NDI bridge to compress the stream (Unless you both have gigabit internet and live close to each other) ~Build from 2NU
@@2nuProductions Thanks. 3: Two networks in the same room. It's a public meeting room where a virtual pipeline was installed to make sure no one else would be on that line but me (the broadcaster), however, there is only a single Ethernet access point and no WAP. The other network is entirely wireless. I was hoping to do this because one of the broadcast destinations is Zoom, and Zoom is a _preposterous_ resource hog, so I was hoping to use one computer to broadcast to all of the other web-based destinations, and one to do nothing by the Zoom broadcast.
@@captainphoenix Hmm, I think I don't fully understand. This seems like an odd setup, but I believe using ZeroTeir would probably be your best bet if you need 2 computers to see each other across different networks.
I tried putting srt as media source in obs but its not receiving anything, the sending device shows 'could connect to server' But when i stream from obs to another receiving end,the stream going fine. Pls help me with this!
Does this still work? ive followed step by step except using NOIP website instead of your dynu dns website and my obs caller just stays on Connecting and nothing comes through on the reciever * edit check my reply for my fix?
NVM for some reason the original media i made on the listener just wouldnt pick up any connection, i made another media source and this picked it up straight away?? not sure how it bugged itself
@@2nuProductions cool i look forward to finding out how as i'm a novice irl streamer on twitch trying to figure out the best solution without spending thousands on equipment
Hello, thanks for this video it's been super helpful. I am running in to a bit of a problem which is that I can't get this to work over WAN. Over LAN it works great, brilliant quality, and over WAN if I use vMix instead of OBS as the listener (still using OBS as the caller) it works fine so I'm pretty confident it's not a port forwarding/firewall issue. Any thoughts would be most appreciated, Cheers!
Hi, in the Media Source properties for the SRT listener (in OBS), you have to put you local (LAN) IP address (the one that you are forwarding from your router), not your public IP address or DNS. But, in the Stream Server address (in the caller OBS), keep your public IP address or DNS.
unfortunately it's not possible with my mini PC :/ seems to be hardware issues... :/ so it's not possible with every device. So I need to stay with my phone as sender :/
@16:38 It was such a hack! My pc was struggling while live streaming and this settings solved all my problems. Now i am able to stream in such a quality without any lag. Also ...is there any option or argument we need to put in order to increase the fps or frame rate?
Hello! Great explanation on the tutorial! However, I'm wondering if your internet connection already is static IP? It's a prerequisite of SRT and I'm not sure if I caught it anywhere on the video. Thank you again!
Hey Glen, from 3:21 - 10:19 in the video we talk about setting a static IP on your machine for your local network, and discuss setting up a DNS for the public network. Hope this helps!

Awesome job, brother!
Thorough explanation of the process, from start to finish, with no fluff.
Love the upbeat attitude.
Best wishes!
Glad this video helped you, thanks for watching!
Thank god this video exists. Appreciate it!
Glad this tutorial helped you!
that helped so much. I cant tell you how thankfull i am. thank you so much
Very easy to follow! Thank you for the amazing SRT tutorial!
Holy yes this is literally everything I needed and answered all my questions. Much appreciate your video!
Thank you so much, this video helped me very very much, it is the only video I found in TH-cam that explaining the SRT very clear.
I appricate you for this video, it is what I have been looking for. thank you for the great work.
Build is the GOAT 🐐
Fantastic tutorial. Thank you so much!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks dude this helped me.
That was really great. If you had enough bandwidth, you could remotely produce shows for clients.
for those having issues with this, do it the opposite way! Put listener to the main obs which you want the screen being captured and the receiving computer is actually the "caller" dont ask me why!
brother you are a freaking life saver, thank you for this comment. i did this and bam it started working
I wonder if likewise on the receiving side ffmpeg could grab the srt stream and convert to rtmp or whatever is easier for obs to digest
Actually really happy, thanks a bunch :>

Nice guide
Nice video! Thanks a lot!
Is there some tag/code for example for the streamkey (if you want to define that also)
Thanks so much!
I have no access to the router for port forwarding but thankfully I can use my VPN to get a VPN IP and port forwarding from it.
I wanted to ask if you have an idea how I could receive the video stream on VLC?
I’d like to simple watch it full screen with audio when I need.

Sorry to ask you this question.
How to use vpn to get a VPN IP and port forward from it?
You can recieve the stream in VLC no problem. In VLC, click "Media" in the top, then "Open Network Stream". Put the URL you put in the RX OBS in that window.
Once I get a steam deck I'm going to try using this for my IRL streams.
Nice guide - strange with recoding option and the delay using the stream option.
The recording option is to get access to the custom FFMPEG output! Helpful in some situations! :D
Great tutorial. A question about the audio tracks, I noticed 6 tracks, is that 6 stereo? I also read somewhere SRT only sends 8 ch. Cheeers
that voice channels need them if you have tv or player you can switch between tracks like audio languages or something you choese
hi, could srt be configured in OBS for multicast use on the WAN?
Hey Jeisson, SRT can be sent to multiple places at once, but not in the way we have it setup here. This tutorial is for P2P (peer2peer) transmission which is unicast. Another tutorial we will be putting out eventually is how to setup a nimble SRT server, which may be able to help you out here. Stay tuned for that!
I assume this would also work when trying to direct a playstation dns to OBS and then stream?
I just cant get it to work. OBS says "Could not access the specified channel or stream key, please double-check your
stream key. If it is correct, there may be a problem connecting to the server." I don't have anything in stream key.

What do you think would be the setup for the absolute lowest latency? what hardware would I need?
Hevc capable decoder on the receiving side.
Encoder on the sending side.
Rpi apparently is able to do hardware encoding and decoding
Hey, I’m getting around 5 seconds of delay and I’m using the record option
How to exactly does it work to do it from distance?
Im running in to an issue when i put the srt address in the streaming location, i would still like to record locally. After a while the port just doesn't connect anymore.
Hi, I'm trying to connect an OBS laptop with a Vmix PC but I don't get a connection even though I've set up al the port forwardings... The OBS says "couldn't open srt://publicIP:portnr?latency=x' , I/O error. Any help ?
I'm having this same problem, did you ever get it fixed? And if so, what did you do?
Having the same issue and im going insane over it. Cant find any solution, didnt sleep for days. Help.
So I have tried this over and over and over again doing everything step by step and when I click start streaming or recording it wont work. Feel like there is something I am doing wrong or something I am missing.
Is there a way to reduce latency when using srt from larix (android app) to OBS?
NDI can run this network?
OBS 0kb/s constantly in a disconnect reconnect loop. OBS version 27, not sure if im missing something to get SRT going

You can use a relay server to send a feed if you are unable to forward ports. A video on how to do that will be coming soon.
