Streaming

If you want to live-stream your presentation to a rtmp-server, you need to specify the following parameters within the Settings… menu:

• Address of streaming server: This address either starts with rtmps:// or rtmp:// depending on your server using ssl or not. It is followed by the url of the server and the port number used separated by a colon, e.g., rtmp://stream.pdfpresenter.com:1935. Some servers in addition need a context and/or key to be added. Those credentials are appended separated by a slash, e.g. rtmp://stream.pdfpresenter.com:1935/live, if the context live is needed;
• a user name (if needed by your server);
• a password (if needed by your server).

pdfPresenter combines those information to a single url which is used to stream content to your server. In case of the before examples, the combined address would read rtmp://user:password@stream.pdfpresenter.com:1935/live. We ourselves add for the channel name used to publish the stream the keyword pdfPresenter. Accordingly, a typical setup would allow to watch the stream at url https://stream.pdfpresenter.com/live/pdfPresenter/index.m3u8. Please contact your provider for details of your setup.
