Introduction
Wirecast is a professional live streaming and video production software developed by Telestream. It allows users to capture, produce, and stream high-quality live broadcasts to multiple platforms.
Create a CDN service for live streaming
You have the following two options. Create a CDN HTTP Live service or create a CDN Live service.
Create a CDN HTTP Live service with RTMP Push Publishing Point
Assume that your CDN HTTP Live service has the following properties. Please refer to Services/How-To.
- Server URL - rtmp://push-1.cdnsun.com/p12345
Create a CDN Live service with Push Publishing
Assume that your CDN Live service has the following properties. Please refer to Services/How-To.
- Server URL - rtmp://12345.publishstream.cdnsun.net/P12345
- Username - P12345
- Password - Kmx7s14We
Publish video stream to the CDN using Wirecast
- Go to Output ⟶ Output Settings, and choose RTMP Server as the Destination.
- Enter your Server URL, e.g., rtmp://push-1.cdnsun.com/p12345 or rtmp://12345.publishstream.cdnsun.net/P12345 (depending on the CDN service type), into the Address field.
- Choose and enter your stream name (e.g., mystream) into the Stream field.
- In the case of the CDN Live service click on the Set Credentials... button and fill in your Username P12345 and your Password Kmx7s14We.
- Click the OK button.
- That's all.
Accessing your CDN video stream
The above will allow you to publish your stream through the CDN using mystream as the stream name. The resulting CDN stream will be accessible via the following URLs, assuming cdn.mycompany.com is the Service Domain of your CDN service.
CDN HTTP Live service
- HLS - https://cdn.mycompany.com/mystream/playlist.m3u8
CDN Live service
- RTMP - rtmp://cdn.mycompany.com/mystream
- HLS - https://cdn.mycompany.com/12345/_definst_/mystream/playlist.m3u8
