Solving the issue when Mac doesn't have Douyin Companion, making it impossible to livestream. Packet capturing may have some issues, and the stream key changes each time.
Therefore, you still need to prepare a Windows computer, or a virtual machine will also work.
Other solutions include using a capture card, but the cost is too high. For occasional use, it's not recommended.
You can also try NDI.
So directly use nginx to build an rtmp server, then use obs to stream.
You Need to Prepare a Linux Environment
CentOS download
Choose the 1GB version.
The extracted nginx and nginx-rtmp-module-master need to be in the same directory.
Recommended to place them under /usr/local/src.
Compilation and Installation
Install Dependencies
yum install gcc
yum install pcre pcre-devel
yum install openssl openssl-devel
yum install zlib zlib-devel
yum -y install libxslt-devel
yum install gd gd-devel
yum install unzip
Compilation
./configure --prefix=/xxx --with-http_ssl_module --add-module=../nginx-rtmp-module-master
make
make install
--prefix=/xxx specifies the installation directory, for example: /usr/local/app/nginx. When running:
- Start:
/usr/local/app/nginx/sbin/nginx - Stop:
/usr/local/app/nginx/sbin/nginx -s stop - Restart:
/usr/local/app/nginx/sbin/nginx -s reload
Nginx RTMP Configuration
worker_processes auto;
events {
worker_connections 1024;
}
http {
include mime.types;
default_type application/octet-stream;
server {
listen 80;
server_name localhost;
location / {
root /usr/share/nginx/html;
index index.html index.htm;
}
}
}
rtmp {
server {
listen 1935;
chunk_size 4096;
application live {
live on;
record off;
}
}
}
Ports Need to Be Opened
firwall-cmd --zone=public --add-service=http --permanent
firwall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=1935/tcp --permanent
firwall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=1935/udp --permanent
firwall-cmd --reload
Mac Considerations
Ensure that Mac can access the nginx port. If you can access the address in a browser, there should be no problem.
Make sure obs has permission to access the local network.
Start Streaming
Push and Pull Stream Addresses
- Push stream address:
rtmp://ip/live/room - Pull stream address:
rtmp://ip/live/room
OBS Streaming Configuration
The stream key is just a name. You can write anything, but remember it as you'll need it later when pulling the stream.
Douyin Companion
Select a scene -> Add material -> Choose online video -> Enter the RTMP address.
