Using VLC

Go to Media > Open Network Stream.
Enter the streaming URL: rtmp://<server ip>:1935/live/<stream-key> Replace <server ip> with the IP of where the server is running, and ` with the stream key you used when setting up the stream.
For HLS and DASH, the URLs are of the forms: http://<server ip>:8080/hls/<stream-key>.m3u8 and http://<server ip>:8080/dash/<stream-key>_src.mpd respectively.
Click Play.

Using provided web players

The provided demo players assume the stream-key is called test and the player is opened from localhost.

To play RTMP content (requires Flash): http://localhost:8080/players/rtmp.html
To play HLS content: http://localhost:8080/players/hls_basic.html
To play HLS content using hls.js library: http://localhost:8080/players/hls.html
To play DASH content: http://localhost:8080/players/dash.html

Notes

These web players are hardcoded to play stream key "test" at localhost.
To change the stream source for these players, Modify the src attribute in the video tag in the html file and then reload the page.
