An HLS Streaming Server is one of the most prevalent video streaming protocols. It\u2019s possible to broadcast media material adapted to the user\u2019s device and network circumstances using HLS, an adaptive streaming technique. Further, the Nginx RTMP module may be used to combine HLS and RTMP with the Nginx web server. This tutorial will set up the HLS live streaming server on Ubuntu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Installation Instructions:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1)start updating your apt repositories<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#apt-get update<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

2) Install required packages:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#apt-get install -y git build-essential ffmpeg libpcre3 libpcre3-dev libssl-dev zlib1g-dev<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
3) Clone Module:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#git clone https:\/\/github.com\/sergey-dryabzhinsky\/nginx-rtmp-module.git<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
4)Download Nginx<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#wget\u00a0http:\/\/nginx.org\/download\/nginx-1.17.6.tar.gz<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
5) Extract and compile the Nginx with RTMP module<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#tar -zxvf nginx-1.17.6.tar.gz\n\n#cd Nginx-1.17.6\n\n#.\/configure --prefix=\/usr\/local\/nginx --with-http_ssl_module \u2013add-module=..\/nginx-rtmp-module\n\n#make -j 1\n\n#make install \n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
6) Configure Nginx Daemon<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#wget https:\/\/raw.github.com\/JasonGiedymin\/nginx-init-ubuntu\/master\/nginx -O \/etc\/init.d\/nginx\n\n#chmod +x \/etc\/init.d\/nginx<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
7)Enable on boot Nginx service<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#update-rc.d nginx defaults<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Editing nginx configuration:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#cp -p \/usr\/local\/nginx\/conf\/nginx.conf nginx.conf_backup<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Open Nginx configuration file:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#vim \/usr\/local\/nginx\/conf\/nginx.conf<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Add the following configuration:-<\/p>\n\n\n\n
worker_processes 1;\n\nerror_log logs\/rtmp_error.log debug;\n\npid logs\/nginx.pid;\n\nevents {\n\nworker_connections 1024;\n\n}\n\nhttp {\n\nserver {\n\nlisten 80;\n\nserver_name localhost;\n\nlocation \/hls {\n\n# Serve HLS fragments\n\n# CORS setup\n\nadd_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' '*' always;\n\nadd_header 'Access-Control-Expose-Headers' 'Content-Length';\n\n# allow CORS preflight requests\n\nif ($request_method = 'OPTIONS') {\n\nadd_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' '*';\n\nadd_header 'Access-Control-Max-Age' 1728000;\n\nadd_header 'Content-Type' 'text\/plain charset=UTF-8';\n\nadd_header 'Content-Length' 0;\n\nreturn 204;\n\n}\n\ntypes {\n\napplication\/vnd.apple.mpegurl m3u8;\n\nvideo\/mp2t ts;\n\n}\n\nroot \/mnt;\n\nadd_header Cache-Control no-cache;\n\n}\n\n}\n\n}\n\nrtmp {\n\nserver {\n\nlisten 1935;\n\nchunk_size 8192;\n\napplication hls {\n\nlive on;\n\nmeta copy;\n\nhls on;\n\nhls_path \/mnt\/hls;\n\n}\n\n}\n\n}\n\n:wq (Save and exit vim editor)\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Create the required directories:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#mkdir \/mnt\/hls\n\n#mkdir \/mnt\/recordings<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Restart the Nginx service:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#systemctl restart nginx<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Check the Nginx listening ports using the netstat command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#netstat -tulpn | grep nginx<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Start stream with any key using OBS:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
rtmp:\/\/localhost\/hls<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Check your streaming in VLC using network stream:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
http:\/\/localhost\/hls\/manualtesting.m3u8<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
