Stream from XSplit Broadcaster

XSplit Broadcaster adds outputs as “channels”. Create a Custom RTMP channel, give it your Stream Repeater server and key, and broadcast to that one channel — we’ll spread it everywhere else.

Beginner Windows
In XSplit Broadcaster: Broadcast → Set up a new output → Custom RTMP

Step by step

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

Add a new output

Click Broadcast → Set up a new output → Custom RTMP.

Name the channel

Give it a recognisable name like “Stream Repeater”.

Enter the RTMP URL

Paste your Stream Repeater RTMP server into RTMP URL.

Paste the stream key

Copy the stream key from your stream page into Stream Key.

Broadcast

Save, then click Broadcast → your channel, and 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 XSplit

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

  • Set the channel’s video output to match your scene resolution and a 2-second keyframe interval.
  • Feel free to leave XSplit’s built-in platform outputs switched off — Stream Repeater handles the multi-platform fan-out for you.
