SRT

Thanks to ffmpeg, mimoLive can now offer SRT (Secure Reliable Transport) ingest support starting with version 6.0. Find more information on SRT at the SRT web site.

!This is preliminary documentation and we do not have extensive experience with SRT. Please let us know if you find any issues.

Setting up mimoLive as an SRT receiver

Create an FFmpeg source and enter these parameters into the FFmpeg Input Parameter field:

-i srt://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:9998?pkt_size=1316&mode=listener

replacing the “xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx” with the local IP number of your Mac.

!Your network needs to be configured so that the Mac you’re running on is reachable from the Internet via a public IP number and the port 9998.

Sending SRT to mimoLive

In order to test the setup, you can also use ffmpeg to send a test signal to your SRT receiver. You should have a video file on your remote computer and ffmpeg installed. Then you can open the Terminal and issue this command:

ffmpeg -i testmovie.mp4 -acodec copy -vcodec copy -f mpegts srt://yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy:9998?pkt_size=1316

where you need to replace “yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy” with the public IP number where your mimoLive Mac is reachable. This is most likely different from the local IP number.
