Broadcast Using Wirecast

Warning: autorecording must be always ON on TikiLIVE if someone uses 3rd party broadcasters and wants to record their live session with TikiLIVE.

Important note: We have confirmed that using Wirecast 4.2.2 users can stream to their live channels. The latest Wirecast version is under testing and we will post in this page once we confirmed that they are working with our platform.

After you install the Wirecast application on your computer, open it and click on the Output Settings tab in the header bar to setup your server info:

Broadcast with Wirecast-1

1. Click on Output in the header bar, then Output Settings once the drop down opens.

 

When the Output Settings window opens, you will need to add a server to the application:

Broadcast with Wirecast-2

1. Click the Add… button to begin the setup process.

 

An RTMP Server will need to be setup to be used with a TikiLIVE live channel:

Broadcast with Wirecast-3

1. Make sure RTMP Server is selected for the output destination then click the OK button.

 

Add your RTMP server information for your channel:

Broadcast with Wirecast-4

1. Add a title for your server settings here.

2. Paste your RTMP address here.

3. Paste your RTMP stream name here:

4. Click the OK button here to save your settings and exit the window.

Note: Your RTMP address and stream name info can be found on your dashboard on the Go LIVE to My Channels page.

 

Once your settings are confirmed you may begin broadcasting:

Broadcast with Wirecast-5

1. Click the button here to begin live streaming your broadcast.

 

Note: From our tests we have concluded that Wirecast is NOT compatible with auto-record and causes audio/video synchronization issues. In order to make Wirecast broadcaster record to the TikiLIVE platform and have the audio and video sync, the solution may be to use a Baseline format profile instead a Main format profile.

This is just a recommendation and we can not guarantee that will solve the audio/video sync issues while using Wirecast. We are always improving our auto-record/streaming features, but we are always limited by the networks and broadcasting solutions users are streaming from.

 

 

RTMP Address and Stream Name Location

You will need your channel’s RTMP address and stream name to setup your 3rd party broadcaster:
