Swamp Cinema Livestream Setup
First you need the server itself: go create an account on DigitalOcean
Then you create a droplet which is:
-distribution: Ubuntu 18 -plan : standard -price : whatever, to test you can do the $5/month -location: america (cause most of the players are in the US) -auth: one time password (if you're ok with public ssh keys then go for it) -1 droplet -whatever hostname -choose password : SwampCinema123S for example
Use whatever terminal you like, could be putty
ssh into your server at the ip you recieved in mail, login as root with the password,
When that's done, get to part 2:
as soon as you're logged in via ssh as the root user, you just need to run the script like so :
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ech1/serverside/master/swamp/rtmp_hls.sh ; chmod +x rtmp_hls.sh ; ./rtmp_hls.sh
At first it will update the machine, just hit enter at whatever it asks you it doesn't really matter
Let it run it should take like 5-10 mins max
Once it has ended successfully it must look like that :
You can reboot the machine and ssh into the machine again if you want the machine to update properly (sudo reboot now)
once you're in OBS : create a screen capture source and go into settings:
go into "Stream" and in there you choose "service: custom" in order to paste your custom server settings:
Make sure those settings are right , otherwise it will not work, from this screenshot ONLY the ip should change, the key is whatever you choose
Service: Custom... Server: rtmp://YOURIPHERE:1935/show Stream Key: YOURSTREAMKEYHERE
Once that's done, hit streaming with obs and this shows that it is working:
If it doesn't work so far, it means that you did a mistake so read each step carefully once again, redo them correctly before asking questions
Once you're streaming correctly with OBS, move over to the last part:
Your stream link follows this syntax:
http://YOURSERVERIP:8080/hls/YOURSTREAMKEY.m3u8
You go in swamp cinema, in any theater, paste this link in the chat itself, and let it queue:
And that should be it ! if you have any problems feel free to ask me on steam here.
Special thanks to skid9000 from the anjara.eu staff for helping me optimise the script (26/05/2020)
If you wish to download mp4 files onto the server you can use the rtorrent utility that i included in the installer, you can use it to download mp4, or webm files into /home/swamp/ which you will be able to check from port 80
