Collect Ingest Endpoints

Visit streaming services’ dashboard(s) and note down the streaming endpoints & stream-keys.

Visit Twitch’s ingest endpoint recommendation page to discover the apt ingest server for your location, and checkout stream key FAQ for latest details on how to get your stream key.

A typical Twitch ingest endpoint should look something like:

rtmp://{LOC##}.contribute.live-video.net/app/{live_0000000_xxxxxxxxxxxx}

The {LOC##} is the server location code, e.g. del01 for Delhi, India. This may (and likely will) be different for you, depending on your ISP location & latency. The {live_0000000_xxxxxxxxxxxx} is the stream key and it’s unique to your account.

Please visit YouTube’s Live Dashboard to get your ingest endpoint & stream key.

A typical YouTube ingest endpoint should look something like:

rtmp://a.rtmp.youtube.com/live2/{####-####-####-####-####}

YouTube’s ingest URL should be the same for everyone, but still check your account to make sure. The {####-####-####-####-####} part is your stream key.

xplex supports all RTMP-based streaming services, so you can use it with any service that provides an RTMP ingest URL like this:

rtmp://{ingest-server}/{application-path}/{unique-key}
