Wirecast 4 & Livestream iOS

[mactalk]

Hey guys,
Just wondering if it's possible to stream using Wirecast 4 and have the resulting Livestream video be iOS compatible?

To stream to both your channel page and mobile devices I would recommend using Procaster.

Your stream will be iOS compatible as long as it's encoded in H.264 (mp4) format with AAC audio. Also, your viewers must have enough bandwidth to watch. Procaster is recommended for streaming to mobile devices, because it generates a high quality stream for PC users and a mobile quality stream for mobile users simultaneously.

Best,
Jason

In Wirecast, this should work.

 Open Wirecast and enter "Broadcast settings"
 In that section, Add a new destination by clicking on the '+' below the list.
 Select "Flash Low Bandwidth" as the Encoder Preset
 Destination: RTMP Flash Sever
+Address: Input the following address:

rtmp://publish.livestream.com/mogulus/channelname/username=UserName/password=YourPassword/isAutoLive=true/iphone=true
--replace information in bold with your own credentials

 User Agent: Wirecast/FM 1.0->Stream name : Any one word name without space or
special charecters Ex:
"stream"

It seems Wirecast 4 will now stream to iOS devices as long as your encoder settings are within the specs the iOS device can handle. No longer need to enter in the rtmp parameters. Using the Wirecast Livesream built in setup works fine.

This is true for FMLE as well - the mobile detection is now based on metadata rather than the rtmp parameters.
