After many many tries, I was finally able to live stream.
Thru Facebook worked fine, no issue, but was on direct profile, could not stream to a group, so that was not helpful.
Then I tried with Youtube, just kept getting the dumb message 'livestream settings not saved".
Then I tried with Twitch using RTMP, but no luck.
So after some more research found there are some settings you have to do in Youtube to live stream. First was to enable live streams in my Youtube channel, once that is done, you have to wait 24 hours for it to be used (lame). Second I could not actually get the Youtube app in DJI Mimo to work, I ended up doing it with RTMP on Youtube.
In Youtube, go to Settings (currently its is the gear icon on the far left menu, you have to scroll down to see it), click on "Channel status and features", you must enable "Features that require phone verification" (Videos over 15 minutes, custom thumbnails, live streaming, and Content ID appeals), this was quick text, put in code. done, then wait 24 hours.
I then made a second channel just for live streaming kids sports events (had to enable the live stream on the new channel and wait another 24 hours, again lame).
Next in Youtube from Dashboard, clicked Create (top right corner), select Go Live, this will open YouTube Studio. I then had to schedule a live stream, click the big blue Schedule Stream button (top right of screen). For my test I picked the current time.
Next comes setting up your phone/app. Again I used the RTMP option not the YouTube option for this.
I enabled my phones hotspot, then on Network selected connect manually, entered hotspot network name, and password, it connected. Then enter the RTMP URL, this is the tricky part. In the YouTube Studio it will give you the RTMP URL, rtmp://a.rtmp.youtube.com/live2 which is generic, the unique part that is JUST FOR YOUR CHANNEL, DO NOT GIVE IT OUT, it is called your Stream Key, in YouTube Studio it is not displayed, it is *********************** you have to click the little eye icon to see it, and it will only show it for a few seconds, or you can click the copy button and paste it onto a notepad or something and maybe write it down or save it on your phone just in case the DJI app forgets it. But you then after modify the RTMP URL by adding your Stream Key to the end like this: rtmp://a.rtmp.youtube.com/live2/xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx
Then you can hit start live stream in the app and it should connect to YouTube.
I hope that helps. |
