Hi all...
Hi Blackmagic...

Is there a list of all parameters and values that can be changed/fixed by the .xml file to see/download anywhere?
Or other documentation?

For example: The original Streaming.xml contains delarations for the keyframe-interval. I think the values is in seconds.

Would be nice to have something like a white paper/manual/example codes (with all useable parameters) before asking a lot of not necesarry questions :D

Thanks and stay healthy

Re: ATEM Mini pro direct RTMP streaming

Has anyone made an progress getting streaming to work with the ATEM mini Pro to a RTMP destination that needs a username and password? I have tried every combination I can think of in the XML file and I can't get it to work.

Specifically, in the case where OBS studio will stream with
server: AAAAAA (rtmp://......)
Stream key: BBBBBBB
authentication checked
username:XXXXXX
password:YYYYY

Or ffmpeg with "AAAAAAA/BBBBBBB pubUser=XXXXXX pubPasswd=YYYYYYY"

I haven't found a way to enter that in streaming.xml to let it connect through the ATEM Mini

It's up to them to set how the login should be passed in a single line. I like to use OBS as a test setup because it will prove it the URL is good without involving the Mni at all. Worth looking into. Just to start at the beginning. Are you able to stream to You tube directly with the Mini using the default setup and your stream key? If that works, at least we know streaming is working. If you cannot stream to Youtube as a test, then your custom setup will not work because there is something else wrong getting in the way.

Hi Everyone,

I am extremely new to this (my ATEM arrived a few hours ago) so I do apologise if this has already been answered..

From the Mini Pro:
I can stream to Twitch fine using the default settings in the Mini and my stream key.
I can NOT stream to DaCast using the Stream URL, Stream Name(Key), username and password.

When I tried to use both versions on the code you sent earlier, I could not connect... are there any other solutions available to try?

Thank you for your help!

rtmp:\\user_name:password@service_or_IP_address:port/publish_point

or

rtmp:\\service_or_IP_address:port/publish_point?rtmpauth=user_name:password

Thank you Gary for responding. I sincerely appreciate it. I feel like I'm close but nothing has worked yet as if I'm missing just one bit of information, or I've written the URL wrong somehow. Is there someone there at BMD that specializes in this sort of thing, using the encoder with a service that requires authentication?

Also, in your response did you mean to make it "rtmp:\\user_name...." or should it be "rtmp://user_name...."?

Here's some additional info that might help. DaCast gives me the following info (I've taken out the numbers and replaced it with # just to be safe in this post)...

Stream URL: rtmp://p.ep######.i.akamaientrypoint.net/EntryPoint

Stream Name: dclive_1_150@######

Backup URL: rtmp://b.ep######.i.akamaientrypoint.net/EntryPoint

Login Details (I've replaced the numbers in this post with XXXXXX for the login and YYYYYY for the password to be safe):

Login: XXXXXX
Password: YYYYYY

So with that information, I feel like I've tried numerous combinations within the Streaming.XML file but it's still not letting the stream go through. Maybe I've entered it wrong. But does this info help YOU in helping me figure out how exactly to enter this into the XML? When I used a Teradek encoder before with DaCast, there was a box in their software for the Stream URL, Stream Key, and then an Authentication Login box and a Password Box. BMD doesn't have the authentication login box and password box.

Hopefully this info helps you in helping me find the correct way to do this. As for OBS, I've never used it before. Again, DaCast says their service works with all RTMP encoders, but they just require authentication. I'm hoping we can find a resolution with the info above.



I don't know how helpful this would be, but this part of a page from a link that one of the agents from DaCast(requires username and password to stream) sent to me. I tried to paste the URL but that was blocked so I had to copy and paste a section I think is relevant.
****
Setting Up the Video Encoder Application
Following is some setup guidelines shared by Akamai in order to help you if you are still encountering issues while streaming after following to the word our encoder setup walkthrough or need to have more informations on the setup you desire.

In This Chapter:
A) Prerequisites
B) Supported Codecs
C) Stream Redundancy
D) Encoding Guidelines

After you complete your live stream setup, you will have the information to configure your video encoder to capture and push your stream to the entry points. Several third-party live video encoders are qualified for Media Services Live: Stream Packaging.

A) Prerequisites
Streaming technology allows ingest of the RTMP protocol while outputting Apple Live Streaming segments (full compatibility with RTMP in/HLS out) requires support of video in H.264 format and audio in AAC-LE format.

If you use an encoder other than those listed in the Dacast platform you must ensure that it issues the onMetaData packet as part of its broadcast, and that the packet includes the following information, or you will experience errors:

• description
• keywords
• rating
• title
• presetname
• creationdate
• videodevice
• framerate
• width
• height
• videocodecid
• videodatarate
• videokeyframe_frequency
• audiodevice
• audiosamplerate
• audiochannels
• audioinputvolume
• audiocodecid
• audiodatarate -->If your stream is audio-only, the encoder should remove the video-related entries:
• description
• keywords
• rating
• title
• presetname
• creationdate
• audiodevice
• audiosamplerate
• audiochannels
• audioinputvolume
• audiocodecid
• audiodatarate -->Similarly, if the stream is video-only, the encoder should remove the audio-related properties:
• description
• keywords
• rating
• title
• presetname
• creationdate
• videodevice
• framerate
• width
• height
• videocodecid
• videodatarate
• videokeyframe_frequency
****
Maybe this can help with identifying the requirements/sequence of the code etc to enable streaming?

I have this working for dacast using another computer as an intermediary. I am using a "raspberry pi 3" computer, and it is able to pass on a stream to YouTube and to dacast at the same time. It has been stable for me, but it does take some work to get set up.

Ideally we would find someone who can give a way to set this up without another computer in between.

It is still a little unclear as to whether the ATEM Mini Pro actually supports Adobe-style RTMP authentication at the moment. It is entirely possible that this is not implemented in the current firmware, since the manual only describes streaming configuration settings for YouTube, Facebook, and Twitch, none of which require authentication.

And there isn't any complete documentation of the streaming options of the XML configuration file to know how the RTMP authentication parameters should be specified (if supported).

This certainly wouldn't be the first streaming encoder that I have come across not to support RTMP authentication in its initial firmware.

For the time being, the best option as suggested may be to run an intermediary RTMP relay server (using ffmpeg, Nginx, or similar) that does support RTMP authentication.

This is what a customer service rep as said:

"Greetings! There is no way to dismiss the encoder login and password on live streams. In terms of the HTML5, All Device live channels there is no way to disable the requirement of having to put in a login and password for your broadcast. They require RTMP authentication.

This added level of security is a mandatory on all of these channels. Thank you!

To add Our Full URL is only like this: rtmp://p.ep396756.i.akamaientrypoint.ne ... 150@396756.

I suggest check with their customer service (Blackmagic Atem mini PRO ) on how to connect with Akamai. Then keep me posted. Thank you!"

Hopefully this will be helpful to someone.

Gary Adams wrote:Hello Fredrick. The fps is determined by the ATEM Mini Pro Frame rate in the Setup Icon on the software. Set that to the frame rate you want. The encoder doesn't change the frame rate. Setting a lower quality still will use the incoming frame rate to chose the bit rate. I hope that helps.

Regards, Gary


Hey Gary,

It does not seem to work to change the fps. Please can you add some screenshots how to change to 25fps.

Cheers, Dennis

YEs .. It would be great to have chance select , what is going on USB out .. I really need to select Preview BUS into USB and HDMI out use as a PGM out on ATEM MINI ..

Gary : Do U think , that is doable in future updates ? Or USB out is directly connected to PGM ?


I hope you don't mind me jumping in too. First time poster here.

Yes! Please! This is the main feature I'm hoping for. I haven't bought one *yet*, but to be able to preview everything on the laptop, and have a clean HDMI output feed for local 'broadcast/program feed' and stream, and record the full output to USB would be the dream. I've even been on the phone talking to a local rep and doing my research prior to purchasing about this exact functionality.


+1 For Mutliview over USB-C, would be so useful!!

Also, if there were an option for "Quad Split" view (all 4 inputs) over USB-C that would be the icing on the cake! (useful to pass on the 4 inputs to OBS which could select a region to use the 4 inputs independently, albeit with resolution loss).

Please pass on the comments/feature requests.

Many Thanks ,

Is there a way to save a streaming key in the XML file? Trying to set up for a church that needs to stream to different services for different events. Steps:

1. Select Service A from dropdown.
2. Enter streaming key.
3. Go live. Everything is great. End broadcast. If I exit and come back in, by default, the key is still present for Service A.
4. Select Service B from dropdown.
5. Enter streaming key.
6. Go live. Everything is still great.
7. Select Service A from dropdown.
8. Streaming key is missing.

I include the stream keys in the names of the server destinations. This way it's right in front of you to be able to type into the Key field.

Some of these keys are quite long unfortunately, but that's a pretty good idea.

If you have a Windows pc I can give you an exe that would let you have a shortcut for each service that would set the key.

I am in fact on Windows for this setup, although I have a thing about running EXEs I find on Internet forums. But if you Are kind enough to provide it I will take a look.

Some info you might find useful

I have a streamzilla accnt and it uses Wowza
Authentication is required.

This is what worked for me

server rtmp://myserver/live

put the account name and stream name in the stream key field like this for streamzilla

sz=AccName=Streamname

and best of all I noticed in the streaming.XML file a small comment under the FB entry, it shows a "credentials" node with u and p in it just after the "profiles" section and before the end of the "service" node

like this
</profiles>
<!-- RTMP session username and password, if required by service
<credentials>
<username>test</username>
<password>abc123xyz</password>
</credentials>
-->
</service>

So I made my entry up and added my u and p as shown above, obv without the comment tags
Eureka!
