RTMP to HLS Live Transcoding

Install nginx-rtmp-module when compiling the latest version of nginx. You'll also need the latest version of ffmpeg.

./configure --add-module=/path/to/nginx-rtmp-module
make
make install

Include use the included test nginx.conf.

Testing with FFmpeg

You can make ffmpeg "play" a file in real time over RTMP.

ffmpeg -re -i input.mp4 -f flv -codec copy rtmp://localhost:1935/hls/movie

Now try playing the HLS output version of that movie.

http://localhost:8080/hls/movie.m3u8
