Setting up your stream sources

Setting up source streams in Grabyo is simple. We use the two following methods to ingest streams into the platform:

Pull source: A publicly accessible URL of an HLS or RTMP stream that Grabyo can 'pull' from
Push source: A RTMP or RTMPS stream that can be pushed from an encoder to a Grabyo ingest point, which you can configure

Below you will find the maximum recommended stream requirements for ingesting a stream into Studio.

Setting up a pull source

Use pull sources if your media source is an HLS or RTMP stream. You will need the stream URL.

Select OPTIONS for the stream you want to update
Select SOURCE from the menu
Select PULL as the stream source type
Paste your source URL into SOURCE STREAM URL
Select SAVE CHANGES to finish

Setting up a push source

Push sources are RTMP or RTMPS streams that an encoder can push to Grabyo ingests.

Select OPTIONS for the stream you want to update
Select SOURCE from the menu
Select PUSH as the stream source type
Select MANAGE INGESTS
Select ADD NEW INGEST
Enter a TITLE, select an INGEST TYPE and REGION
Select ADD INGEST to create your ingest
Find your ingest from the drop-down menu and select SAVE CHANGES to finish.

Tip: You can choose GRABYO MOBILE APP as your INGEST TYPE to configure a mobile stream.

Note: Always ensure that you select the REGION closest to your encoder location when creating an ingest. This will minimize any potential buffering.
