Mobile encoder setup

Stream from Larix Broadcaster

Larix Broadcaster turns a phone into a proper little portable encoder. Add a new RTMP connection pointed at your Stream Repeater ingest URL and broadcast from anywhere on mobile data or Wi-Fi.

Beginner iOS Android
In Larix Broadcaster: Settings → Connections → New connection

Step by step

Follow these in Larix Broadcaster — takes about a minute, no PhD required.

Open Connections

In Larix, tap the gear → Connections → New connection.

Enter the URL

Paste your RTMP server plus stream path as the connection URL.

Set mode to Publish

Make sure the connection mode is Publish, not Play.

Add RTMP auth

Enable RTMP authentication and enter your stream name as the login and your key as the password.

Tap the record button

Save, return to the camera, and tap the big button — you’re live.

Your ingest details

Use these in the fields above. The exact values for your stream are on its page in the portal.

RTMP server rtmp://your-workspace.streamrepeater.com:1935
Stream key your-stream?user=your-stream&pass=sk_live_••••••••••••

Your stream key is unique and can be rotated any time you fancy. A separate read-only playback key handles previews, so sharing one never exposes your publish credentials.

Pro tips for Larix

A few small tweaks that keep your relays clean and your headaches at zero.

  • On the move, cap the bitrate (e.g. 3–4 Mbps at 720p) so it survives mobile data without a fight.
  • Larix also supports SRT and RTSP if you need lower latency or a bit more resilience on a dodgy network.
  • Lock the orientation before going live, so your relays stay the right way up.
