Setting up OBS Studio as a Player
Last Updated 5 days ago
OBS Studio can be used as a player to receive the incoming relay
stream as a media source – for example for local monitoring or further
processing. In this context OBS is not a publisher; it receives the
stream from the relay.
- Open OBS Studio and add a new Media Source.
- Disable the "Local file" option so that a URL can be entered.
- Copy the player URL directly from the panel and paste it into the URL field of the media source.
- Confirm with OK – OBS will connect to the relay stream.
Note: The player URL can be found directly
on the dashboard in the panel. Always copy it from there, as the host
and port may differ depending on your configuration.
