Guys n Gals,

Had the pleasure of purchasing my first ever pass today and enjoyed the last few hours setting things up and thankfully now all the basics are covered and shes online. So pleased with how easy it was to complete the install, even for a novice like myself… Chuffed to bits so far.

The next fairly important step is to setup live streaming from a local source… I want to simply be able to view a HD video feed of which could be a second screen on my server PC or a input to a HD capture card also on the server PC… streamed using OBS Studio or alike to the Plex server and in turn I can watch remotely using Plex apps etc. Handy for viewing home CCTV etc. Is this even possible? Am not interested in the who live TV stuff.

I have founds loads of baffling lines of code and whatever else that look’s far to complicated for me to ingest but nothing like a simple Add-on that
I can find easily to help me achieve my little goal…

Anybody have any ideas which direction I should be looking it?
or even if anybody is welling to guide me through this little project? either one would be hugely appreciated.

Thanks in advance

David

Live streaming is not possible with Plex.

Thanks for confirming. Not to worry. Thanks.

If you have the skills and are capable of researching, then it is possible. It’s not officially supported though.

Essentially, you would need to setup as follows:

Screencap > MPEG2 Muxer > TV Headend > 3rd Party IPTV script > Plex Live TV.

I won’t go into further detail, there are many tutorials out there, and most of it requires a fair amount of skill.

The point is, it is possible, though quite difficult, and not officially supported. Play at your own risk :+1::grin:

Thanks for your input. Yeah I definitely don’t have that skill set to make the magic happen in thw way your explaining unfortunately…yet.

Considering learning code, just which platforms I need to work out…

Well, if you’re working with Linux and scripting, I would highly recommend BASH and Python. :slight_smile:

No problems. BASH is great for scripting “If this, then that” type things, as well as calling applications with variables. So you can say “for all files ending with MPG, I want you to convert them all to MP4, using this application”.

Python can be used in the same way, but has the ability to be used in a much bigger sense for creating your own full blown applications if you choose.
