This article is inspired of the great guide of How to set up your own private RTMP server using nginx. https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/how-to-set-up-your-own-private-rtmp-server-using-nginx.50/
MonaServer is a tiny and scalable open source server which provide protocols RTMFP, RTMP, RTMPE, WebSocket and HTTP. Server applications are written in lua and clients just need to support one of these protocols.
The interest of MonaServer here is the RTFMP broadcast feature that avoid congestion (because it is a UDP protocol) unlike RTMP.
This guide will presents you an easy way to broadcast a video with OBS over RTMFP. Don't worry, you will not need to configure or write any code here :)
Just follow the instructions on http://monaserver.ovh/installation.html for your platform (MonaServer supports Linux, Windows and the MacOS X version is in beta).
Note : You can download the Windows package https://sourceforge.net/projects/monaserver/files/MonaServer_1.1_Win32.zip/download if you want to go faster (to get it work you will need the Visual Studio 2013 redistributable packages) http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784
Run MonaServer, for example on Linux : ./MonaServer
A. Configure OBS with the properties below :
Streaming Service: Custom Server: rtmp:// Play Path/Stream Key: test
(Obviously you can change the stream key to any other name)
B. And now you can play your stream with an RTMFP video player. As they aren't many players supporting RTMFP you can try this one : http://raspi.monaserver.ovh/MonaClients/VideoPlayer/?fit
And type the following url in the RTMP/RTMFP input : rtmfp:///test
Or directly with the url in argument : http://raspi.monaserver.ovh/MonaClients/VideoPlayer/?fit&url=rtmfp:///test
/!\ Do not set a NetGroup in the NetGroup input.

Notes :
I've developed this client for testing, if you are looking for an easy embeddable player please ask me, I think it could be done easily.
you can also play the stream using RTMP (just change rtmfp:// to rtmp://) and your favourite player!
That's all! If you're facing a problem don't hesitate to comment or contact me directly.
[NEW VIDEO] You can now watch the video tutorial on how to broadcast with MonaServer and OBS. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JeOv4Mv7rg
With MonaServer it's already possible to develop some cool applications like :
- online remote control,
- low cost p2p broadcasting with the use of the Netgroup feature of Flash. Contact me if you are interested.
Enjoy!
