Castr is the best platform I have used (and i've tried them all!) if you would like to stream to multiple sites

Castr.io - Restream your Mixer FTL streams to DLive

Recently I have been checking out a brand new restream service called "castr.io". After several long streams, messing with different frame rates, and settings etc I have come to the conclusion - they are fantastic!

Calling all Mixer Streamers

Are you looking for a simple method to automatically take your FTL stream and send it to multiple platforms including DLive easily and with no effort (apart from the initial setup?)

Then read on!

Step 1

Sign up for a free account over at: https://castr.io

Step 2

Log in to your castr.io account, and click the "Create New" button

Step 3

Give your stream a name, and choose a location that is closest to you.

Click "Save"

Step 4 - Set Castr to Pull your Mixer stream

From your new castr.io dashboard page, click the "Pull" link. (this is where castr.io will Pull your Mixer stream)

Step 5 - Mixer stream entry

Click the "Get Mixer Pull URL" link at the bottom right of the page, and enter your Mixer account name.

Click "Grab Mixer Pull URL"

Click "Save"

Step 6 - Adding DLive

Add your desired streaming destinations by clicking "Add a Platform"

For DLive, you need to select "Custom"

Enter your Stream URL and Stream Key from the DLive "Go Live" website.

  • Tick "Push Immediately"
  • Click "Save"

Done! - All set up!

Each time you go live on Mixer, castr.io will automatically grab the Mixer feed and send it to your desired locations.

Notes

  • You can manually start and stop individual streams by clicking the toggle on the dashboard.

  • Remember to set up your DLive stream first before going live on Mixer
  • If you are re-streaming to Twitch / YouTube you "may" get Live notifications after your stream has ended. Castr are looking into this, but a temporary fix is to visit: https://castr.io/app/dashboard and turn off the restream feature by clicking the toggle.

If you have any questions, or require any help please do not hesitate to drop a reply to this post, or message me on Discord.

Thank you so much Tidy! This will help me tonight when I go to set it up. Well done tutorial as well!!

The service is great, I tried it after your first test with castr.io.

The problem is that if u want to use more then one custom stream, u have to pay here as well.
So I don't see a big advantage to restream.io at the moment.

Restream charge you for 1 custom RTMP. Castr has this on the free package :) Where are you looking to stream?

I know, so they are definitely better than restream.io in the basic package.
But if you need two custom rtmp-streams, it comes out almost the same.

There are many ways to stream on our blockchain, unfortunately everyone needs a custom rtmp...

At the moment i am testing again with nginx.

Govinda here from Castr 🙌 , if you need to stream to two custom RTMP our price is only $9.99 and you need to pay $49 for the same in restream io :)

Thanks for your answer. I said before, your service is great. And it works flawless.

I know the pricing of you and restream.io. And since I don't want to pay for it right now, both is not an alternative for me at this time.

Realy nice for people that need a restream service and dont want or can make their own ngnix server.
Fair enough that 1 Custome RTMP is free . I will give this to a friend of mine.
