Multicast streaming local files & live source with Marsisplayout and OBS

[RASCATOR]

Recently I have been trying to find a playout software which could multicast stream local files with MPEGTS/UDP.
Unfortunately no luck with me yet. So I made my own version to make it works with OBS.
If interesting in how to stream output with UDP/mpegts instead of RTMP, NDI or other stream types, take a look.
It's easy and no command lines and it doesn't cost CPU and GPU too much.

How to Send an UDP Stream to a second PC using OBS

• Settings -> Output -> Output Mode -> Advanced
  • Recording -> Type -> Custom Output (FFmpeg)
  • FFmpeg Output Type -> Output to URL
  • File path or URL -> udp://224.0.0.1:9999
    This is a multicast address which means any pc on your local network can receive the stream. A different port can be used.
    Alternatively you can directly send to just one PC in your system by using his IP, for example: udp://192.168.0.5:9999
    You can use any port that is free and accessible on the PC's you want to use.
  • Container Format -> Depends on the protocol, for udp it would be mpegts
  • Video Bitrate -> 15000 or higher (depends on your encoder)
  • Audio Bitrate -> 128 or higher (depends on your encoder)
  • Video and Audio Encoder will be limited by the used container but we can luckily unlock other Encoder for our purpose:
    Activate the checkbox "Show all codecs"
    Be aware, some combinations and codecs will not work for streaming! You will have to test to find your best combination.
  • Video Encoder -> libx264 / h264_nvenc (if you have an nvidia gpu) or other codecs can be used
  • Audio Encoder -> AAC, AC3 or even OPUS can be selected.
  • Enter any Muxer/Video Encoder or Audio Encoder settings as desired. See the FFmpeg Manual for more info on the available options.
  • Click ok to save the settings.
• Start a Recording, not a Stream.

You can now watch the stream in VLC (for example) on another PC in your local network. Open a network stream in VLC and enter the following address: udp://@224.0.0.1:9999 (if you used this address as the "File Path" earlier, in the case of streaming to one pc you can enter udp://@:9999 on the receiving PC)
