Can I use my mobile phone to RTMP stream an event on Tikkl?

Yes you can.

We recommend to use the Larix app on your mobile phone to RTMP stream your event.

The Larix streaming app (iPhone and android) can be downloaded from:

• https://apps.apple.com/us/app/larix-broadcaster/id1042474385

Steps for RTMP Livestreaming - 

On Tikkl:

• Pre-configure a video for RTMP live in the media library.
  • RTMP checkbox is on.
  • Stream URL and Key are set.
  • Duration of the video is set.
• Create a stream for your specific event:
  • Stream Type: Live from stage.
  • Set Live start/end date and time.
  • Choose the RTMP video configured above.
  • Set Replay start/end date and time, with watch period. 

On Larix app:

• Go to settings > Connections > Touch + icon to add a new connection.
• Give a name to the connection.
• In the URL field, type the URL: <stream-url>/<stream-key>.

• To manage the connections, you can touch 'Manage' and edit the configurations.
• Go back to recording screen, after adding your RTMP connection, and start recording a few mins before the event starts.

To stream:

• Start broadcasting a few mins before the event. The actual event can start on time. Tikkl player will play the stream exactly at the scheduled time.
• If the event is going longer than the initial RTMP video duration, use the live player interface to extend the time.
• When the event ends, end the video in the Live player and also stop broadcasting on Larix.
• Go to org's video list on Tikkl Media and edit the RTMP video:
  • Remove the RTMP Live checkbox and save.
• Go to stream page of your campaign and edit the stream:
  • Change the stream type to “live from recording”.
  • Ensure that it’s still pointing to the same video.
