Live Protocols

3 min

the live protocols screen enables the configuration of the http/https/rtmp/websocket/quic server that will broadcast the streams using live streaming protocols, particularly for adaptive streaming and internet protocols live protocol settings field description http server http/https server public ip override the zixi ip (e g , download zixi com) with a public ip enable http server enable a non secure connection over http http server port defines the http server port default 7777 enable https server enable a secure connection over https https server port defined the https server port default 443 https certificate uploaded (for https enabled) if no certificate has been uploaded, click upload and navigate to the file location https private key uploaded (for https enabled) if no private key has been uploaded, click upload and navigate to the file location https private key passphrase (for https enabled) enter the private key passphrase for your https account ssl setup status displays the status of the ssl certificate upload process incomplete – the ssl setup process is incomplete ok – the ssl setup process is complete \enable websocket server\ \select this checkbox to enable the websocket server the websocket server uses the websocket protocol to stream content the websocket protocol provides full duplex communication channels over a single tcp connection \ \websocket server port\ \if you have enabled websocket, enter a dedicated port for websocket (default 8100)\ \enable quic server\ \select this checkbox to enable the quic server quic (quick udp internet connection) is an encrypted transport layer network protocol, designed to make http traffic more secure, efficient, and faster quic has taken all the best qualities of tcp connections and tls encryption and implemented it on udp \ \quic server port\ \if you have enabled quic, enter a dedicated port for quic (default 8080)\ \enable flv\ \enable the streaming via the flv protocol \ enable hls enable the streaming via the hls protocol enable cmaf (dash + fmp4 hls) enable the streaming via the cmaf protocol \enable shoutcast\ \enable the streaming via the shoutcast protocol \ enable hls fast playback enables low latency hls and dash when this setting is enabled, all input streams on the zixi broadcaster will be published to the origin server as hls streams, so only enable this feature if it will actually be used sub gop hls fast playback select this option to enable publishing of hls chunk before the response is complete this means that zixi broadcaster will start sending the http response as chunks of data when they are ready, before the complete response is available hls dvr maximum recording duration \[hh\ mm] defines the maximum recording duration for hls dvr default 24 hours allow automatic http push input automatically creates an http push input without the need to define it in the input screen allow automatic http pull output automatically creates an http pull output without the need to define it in the output screen this works in tandem with zixi feeder ( remote http pull output setting, which enables sending a zixi protected stream to zixi broadcaster, and then zixi broadcaster automatically outputs the stream as http pull) and sdk (which includes a zixi http pull out config option) by enabling this option, the http pull streams will be automatically created as they arrive into zixi broadcaster and displayed in the output screen rtmp server enable rtmp server enables zixi broadcaster to handle incoming rtmp streams rtmp server port the port through which the rtmp stream will be transmitted default 1935 allow automatic rtmp input automatically creates an rtmp input without the need to define it in the input screen allow automatic rtmp output automatically creates an rtmp output without the need to define it in the output screen this works in tandem with zixi feeder ( remote rtmp output setting, which enables sending a zixi protected stream to zixi broadcaster and then zixi broadcaster automatically outputs the stream as rtmp) and sdk (which includes a zixi rtmp out config option) by enabling this option, the rtmp streams will be automatically created as they arrive into zixi broadcaster and displayed in the output screen advanced mode the fields discussed below are optional and available only in advanced mode to enter advanced mode add the url parameter ?advanced=1 to the zixi broadcaster url in your browser and press enter/return to reload the page note the advanced mode settings are generally intended for advanced users and special cases if you do not understand the settings, you should probably accept the default values live protocols menu enable web socket server checkbox websocket server port enable server checkbox quic
