DJI-OBS-Stream

Nginx Server for Windows and Linux with RTMP support. Perfect for streaming from a DJI drone or other devices that use the RTMP protocol.

Setting up:

This contains files/tutorial to run an Nginx web server in Windows (Files) and Debian/Ubuntu Linux (tutorial). It hosts 2 services: HTTP on port 80 (for testing) and RTMP on port 1935 (for streaming)

Prerequisites

  • Required Open port 1935 in the server firewall for the RTMP service
  • Optional (For testing) Open port 80 in the server firewall for the HTTP service

Usage

Please refer to the respective directory of your operating system of choice. Each has its own README.md file to get you going.


Test to make sure the server is working

You really only need to do this the first time
Do this from a separate device to get the most accurate results

  • Open a web browser
  • Navigate to one of the following URLs:
    • yourIPAddress
      • Ex. 192.168.0.5
    • yourHostname
      • Ex. Stream-PC
  • If this shows a web page, the server is working as intended
  • If this doesn't work, check your firewall to make sure the ports are open

Send data to server from DJI Go 4 or DJI Fly

  • Open the stream seetings in your respective app
  • Select either "RTMP" or "Custom"
    • This selection depends on your app
  • In the URL, type either the IP or hostname, with te port 1935, and append /live to it
  • Ex. Stream-PC:1935/live
  • So, the full RTMP URL would be:
    • rtmp://Stream-PC:1935/live
      • Make sure you save this for later
  • If you want to use a custom stream key, place that after "/live"
    • Ex. rtmp://Stream-PC:1935/live/streamKey
      • You can make streamKey any alphabetical character you want
      • Make sure you save this for later

View stream in OBS

Do this on the server

  • Open OBS
  • In a scene, create a "Media Source" source
  • In the properties of "Media Source":
    • Uncheck "Local File"
    • Set the input to the full URL of the RTMP server
      • Ex. (without stream key)
        • rtmp://Stream-PC:1935/live
      • Ex. (with stream key)
        • rtmp://Stream-PC:1935/live/streamKey
    • Click "OK"
  • The stream should show after a few seconds
    • Depending on the network connection from the app, and to the computer running Nginx, this can take longer

Extra Info

If you would like to change the URL to use something other than /live, edit the Nginx.conf file under /ServerFiles/conf/ directory.
The default configuration for the RTMP application is:

    server {
        listen 1935;
        application live {
            live on;
            interleave on;
            record off;

        }
    }
}

If you change the name of the application, i.e. where it says application live {, let's say to stream, it will use /stream instead.



So, the application for /stream in Nginx.conf file would look like this:


    server {
        listen 1935;
        application stream {
            live on;
            interleave on;
            record off;

        }
    }
}

So, with this, you would connect to rtmp://yourServer/stream/streamKey


For the best results...

  • I would recommend opening a hotspot on the computer running the server if possible.
    • This can be easily done in Windows with the built-in hotspot
    • In some Linux distros, this is built in. Look up the features your distro has to do this there
