No Video Streaming Solutions for Windows 10?

M A Weiss said:

My server is running Windows 10 Pro. I am not familiar with LINUX. So I only know the solutions based on Windows.

I'm relocating to Japan, soon, so my upstream pipe there is 1gb/s (soon to be 2gb/s with offers to upgrade from NTT Docomo) so bandwidth is not an issue. I rarely have more than one viewer at a time anyway, so I can even do it on a measly 10mb/s cable connection in the States.

That website for the Yawcam software was filled with adware. It was demanding I install some program before I can download Yawcam, so I backed out of it.

You should probly check you pc. Even with ublock origin off, no such behaviour

I don't know what you mean by 'check your PC". I even tried turning off firewall for a few minutes, but I still can't stream.

This PC is also my web server and the HTTP functions work fine. It's been serving my web pages since I built it in November, to replace an older PC that died catastrophically during a power outage.

I've tried to download Live Smooth Streaming from IIS Web Platform Installer, but it fails with the following error:



These files no longer exist, apparently.

Again, you need to use ngnix. as your server or just cut to the chase and use Linux as the server since it is a hell of a lot more powerful than Windows.

No, IIs is downgraded as something that Microsoft is not putting much effort into and has a lot of security issues.

I've been running various versions of IIS from 4.5 up to 10 since 2005. It's all I know. It would take me years to figure out how to set up a LINUX server and even then, I don't know enough about it to troubleshoot it if something went wrong.

Doug Johnson's video shows the operation of nginx in parallel with IIS on Win 10, so it's apparent that it can be done. It's just not working for me. nginx is running, and OBS can stream to it without errors, but the viewer html just opens a blank player and the video ts files that are appearing in the HLS folder are not valid video--VLC cannot play them.

I find it baffling that it is sort of working but not working in this manner.

Here's what's happening when I stream:

I gave you all of the links that you need to set the server up, it is not that hard to do with all of the packages that are available out there.

Unfortunately, that solution is not for Windows users. I have no knowledge of LINUX. I've been using Windows for over 30 years though. It's the only OS I am familiar with.

Just to be clear, I used to stream on Windows XP Home Edition in 2005, using Windows Media Encoder 9.

Those tools are no longer available in 2022, so it appears the technology has regressed.

Because Linux is the king of servers in this area.
