Play SRT from server

It’s how to play SRT from SRTMiniServer by:

  • vMix (Windows)

  • OBS (macOS & Windows)

  • Larix Player (iOS & Android)

  • Haivision Play Pro (iOS & Android)

  • VLC

As you known SRTMiniServer accepts incoming SRT feeds and converts to NDI feeds.It’s main function, but …

What’s about provide SRT to play ?

For example we want read SRT by other vMix remotely when NDI is impossible.

Few months ago we provide power function called “CrossLine” and it allows re-sending SRT to player.

For this guide:

  • we have Line 1 with stream id as streamkey1ABC

  • incoming SRT from Line 1 will be re-sent to Line 1 (by CrossLine matrix)

Main points for understanding:

  • encoder stream SRT to Line 1 with streamid streamkey1ABC

  • for player we should use streamid equals streamkey1ABC#feedbackplay or ** streamkey1ABC#talkback** (we add special suffix).

NOTE: since version 2.1 you can also use instead**#** — for example** streamkey1ABC*talkback** — ** NOTES**: for one line you can connect up to 100 players. For change it you can use max_line_players in “Advanced Settings ”
