Flussonic and SRT

Stream source sample link for “Flussonic”:

srt://Stream_IP:port?streamid=flussonic

streamid - “Flussonic” client login, set up in “Configuration - Peers Settings”.

When adding a new peer, it is enough to specify only the login, in sample link it is - “flussonic”. “Flussonic” software generates stream ID automatically when using SRT, so you should set up login as stream ID in stream link to receive the stream.

You can set streamid/login with IP address format:

srt://Stream_IP:port?streamid=Your_IP

In this case client will be binded to IP address and it will be possible to receive via this link only from a specific IP address.

SRT and third part software authorization

SRT login/password authorization between two instances of Perfect Streamer works from the box and is configured via the corresponding fields in input and output , but work with other software is not guaranteed. This functionality is not standardized and is implemented in different ways in different software.

To ensure work between Perfect Streamer and other software, an authorization mechanism has been implemented through the creation of a peer, where the peer’s name will be equal to the stream ID value. For example with link:

srt://Stream_IP:Your_IP?streamid=!#::u=1234567890,password=1234567890

Peer name:

!#::u=1234567890,password=1234567890

Stream ID synthax doesn’t matter for Perfect Streamer, any values up to 511 symbols are supported.

Different SRT receivers could send stream ID with different format, so if receiving doesn’t work you can switch on tracing option in SRT output settings and find the reason of issue in the stream log, for example you can see how actually the receiver generates the stream ID. This information can help you fix the stream ID.
