Cant get working youtube live

[saritikon]

No youtube live video

Using Restreamer on Virtualbox Ubuntu server (ubuntu-24.04.1-live-server-amd64), restreamer-v2.12.0 (datarhei-core v16.16.0 (linux/amd64) - gentle-limit-3866)
Network card in Virtualbox configured as Bridge, so Ubuntu gets local ip (192.168.5.132) from router the same way like my desktop pc

No videostream in youtube studio

For your resolution (4K / 2160p) of your camera you should provide a "Video Frame Rate" of 30 (currently you have 1) and an "I-Frame Interval" of 60. The recommended bitrate for that resolution is 30000 kbit/s (see https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/2853702).

Also you should add an audio stream and try the RTMP delivery method. The HLS delivery is still experimental.

Hi @ioppermann
Thanks for your quick response!

Camera doesn't support 30 or 60 fps, only 25 fps max

Added an audio in Restreamer with white noise and it works both with HLS and RTMP!
So, i got the working setup:
Settings in hikvision admin panel: videostream only (no audio) resolution 4k, 10fps, higest video quality, VBR with 8192, encoding H264, I-frame 20, H264+ is off, SVC off

Also ok with uploaded mp3 looped sound
So the problem was in no sound setup.

Now trying to reduce traffic, since i have an almost static picture (nature)

Thank you!

[ioppermann]

If you want to reduce traffic, then only reducing the bit rate will help. You can even set the FPS to 25.

[saritikon]

Yes, i changed setting back to 25 fps and traffic remains same. Thank you!
And with bitrate 2048 i got near 1,850 kbit/s

By the way, i noticed that here https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/2853702 a H265 codec is seem to supported and widely used by youtube? So any chance for support H265 in Restreamer?

[ioppermann]

We're working on passthrough support for other codecs as well.
