Quick Start: SRT Connection with OBS and datarhei Restreamer to reduce latency

With the SRT-Server in the datarhei Restreamer streamers benefit from low latency connections with SRT. In addition, each SRT signal is available as output via the Publication Service.

██ What is this video about?
Secure Reliable Transport (SRT) is an open-source video transport protocol that utilizes the UDP transport protocol. SRT provides connection and control, reliable transmission similar to TCP; however, it does so at the application layer, using UDP protocol as an underlying transport layer. It supports packet recovery while maintaining low latency (default: 120 ms).

██ Note
░ In preparation for the video, the SRT server is active on the Restreamer in the system settings, and there is an m3u8 test video in the OBS.
░ We changed the public IP in the Restreamer SRT URL to LAN 192.168.1.129 because we need the LAN IP of the Raspberry Pi with the active Restreamer.
░ SRT is automatically converted to H.264 in the Restreamer because SRT does not play in a web player. It is for transporting the data.
░ Depending on the signal, the stream may take a while to build up; if it seems too long, reload the browser.

██ What is the datarhei Restreamer?
The datarhei Restreamer is an easy-to-use video server and allows free video streaming on the website without a video provider.
