Forwarding an RTSP stream from IP camera to youtube

Viewed 6361

I have an IP camera (Foscam FI9800P) capable of sending an RTSP stream (I've confirmed using VLC the stream works). I want to stream the video from that camera to youtube.

I'm guessing the camera can't send it to youtube directly, so I need a device in the middle. Something like:

IP Camera --> Raspberry Pi --> Youtube live

Ideally I'd like to do this without re-encoding the video along the way. ffmpeg appears to be able to do this, but it has many options and I haven't been able to figure out all its command line options.

Any suggestions to how I can do this?

Restreamer should be able to create the setup that you are looking for https://datarhei.github.io/restreamer

It uses NGINX and FFmpeg under the hood and has a user friendly web frontend to configure the stream.
