External Stream Sources

Attention: We have migrated our documentation to our new platform, Ant Media Resources. Please follow this link for the latest and up-to-date documentation.

External Streams Sources(RTMP/HLS/RTSP)

Ant Media Server has the ability to pull live streams from external sources. Such as; live TV streams, IP camera streams or other forms of live streams(RTSP, HLS, TS, FLV, etc.). We will first show how to pull live streams with Web Interface.

Re-streaming from External Source is available both in Community and Enterprise Edition.

Pull Live Streams with Web Interface

• First, log in to the management panel. Click any app on the left side menu and then click New Live Stream -> Stream Source. Define the stream name and stream source URL.

• Click Create button and Ant Media Server starts to pull streams from its source.

• Now, you can watch the stream like any other stream.

Reminder: All web interface operations and much more can be done programmatically with REST API. Take a look at the REST Guide
