How to set up SRT protocol for IRL streaming | sprEEEzy’s Budget IRL Backpack Guide #1

IRL Streaming is the hottest category on Twitch these days, and the tech behind it is advancing at almost the same pace. SRT brings the much needed advancements in reliability and stability, and to our surprise, it's much easier to set up as well.

In this guide we'll cover basic SRT setups, and also share the best SRT settings we've found so far, that make the streams much smoother and reliable. OBS now supports SRT as well, which makes the whole ecosystem perfect for integration in almost every existing stream setup out there as well.

★ sprEEEzy's preferred SRT commands (copy & paste, replace with your address and port)

Encoder/Phone side (Caller): srt://[your_public_address:port]?mode=caller&maxbw=1500000

OBS Side (Listener): srt://[your_local_address:port]?connect_timeout=3000&latency=2000000&listen_timeout=5000000&mode=listener&smoother=live&transtype=live&timeout=5000000

One thing that I missed to mention is that you might need to forward the port you're using for the SRT stream (the example port in the video). I didn't have to myself, but it depends on your router and home network setup!

Dude, you simply saved my sanity, my work and made an entire idea come out of the paper. I'm starting a totally new streaming/broadcasting company today with your help. Soon i'll be strong and rich enough to thank you properly! This saved my life!!!!

[joppisaus]

Followed this to the letter and I am infinitely grateful. I am streaming from my phone using this method and did my first actual IRL stream today and it was amazing. Thanks again for making this guide.

[TerryB]

Thanks for the info. I'm currently using the LIVE U and looking for a lighter weight setup.

I've got it working with WiFi but 4g doesn't work, I've checked everything multiple times and there is something wrong? How do I get this working?

[captanchemistry]

Finally found a good video that goes into detail about this. Thank you!

[GrabaGra]

Great! Now I'm waiting for the video - how to do it with the GoPro 🔥🔥🔥

[tomothebiker]

I tried 4G it did not work. I encoded my public PC IP Address in my phone.

[thomas]

hi!! nice vid thank you!! any changement? I try but : Can't connect server... How to find what's wrong? it's so easy but it does'nt word ;(

[tail]

I'm a bit confused on the additional commands you applied in the URL. Those commands are from FFmpeg via the libsrt? Does that mean the TBS2603SE is using the libsrt library from FFmpeg when it is doing the encoding? So if a different encoder was used, it may not be using libsrt as its encoding library, and thus these parameters wouldn't work?

Hello! I've got it working with WiFi but 4g doesn't work, I've checked everything multiple times and there is something wrong? How do I get this working? It just says 'cant connect to server'.

[DavidFosterVlog]

Why did you download Larix screencaster and not broadcaster?

[Fine_art_aerial]

5:22 Don't understand how you incorporate the phone/screencaster into the mix?? How does my Netgear m1 send the signal back to my computer/obs??

[DTRiel.]

BROOOO !! LEGEND !!! i've literally been racking my last brain cells for, not even exaggerating, 3 or 4 hours

[properpeach]

@ timestamp 6:43 you have a rtmp url under the 'multicaster addr' slot in the 'HDMI' channel . Is this important for us as well?

[stevecarty]

will this work with an M1 Mac running obs?

[Teboy]

Working if both are connected to wifi but when i used data for my phone even if i have a static no ip it says not connecting to the server. Port forwarding was set up correctly and firewall disabled

[MitchSoda]

Cool vid, thanks for making it, however I could only get it it to work when my iPhone was on my home wifi (same network as my PC). Doesn't work on a cellular connection. Changing the IP address from your local IP to your global IP doesn't work (yes port is forwarded). I can stream to NOALBS over RTMP etc. but yeah, can't do SRT from outside my home network. Not sure why, checked your Discord for answers, and other internet searches, and couldn't find anything on this to help me figure it out. Insert my sad face, lol.

[mitnick]

can I do this setup if my PC/desktop in hotel wifi network ?

[User--cd]

so this whole srt protocol video is for people who want to stream using the phone? i want to use the gopro i have the same exact setup as you, are the steps differnet? do i need to open my phone at all
