How to use VLC as a live Streaming server?

Question

I'm working on android app which can stream video to Facebook via compiled VLC-library. After recent changes in Facebook policy https://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/v2/2019/04/16/live-video-uploads-rtmps/ VLC stopped to stream video. There is message in the log:

standard stream out: no suitable sout access module for 'rtmp/flv://rtmps://live-api-s.facebook.com:443/rtmp/xxxxxxxxx.....'

Can anyone help me to understand - what should be done to re-enable streaming? My guess was to compile VLC with --enable-gnutls flag, but I'm not sure how to do this with current VLC sources

Answer 1

Which version of VLC on Android are you using? Could you provide a longer version of the logs?

According to this issue: https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc-android/issues/158 By setting the flag --enable-sout in compile-libvlc.sh it should maybe start working
