Troubleshooting RTMPS streaming

Some encoders don't like connecting to RTMPS streams

Recently, BoxCast switched their RTMP addresses to RTMPS to make your broadcasts more secure. As a result, some encoders will give an error and not connect because they do not like sending RTMPS. It seems like we're seeing this happen particularly with Wirecast users. Good news: There's an easy fix.

Remove the "S" from the RTMP address.

Here, you can see the Server URL is:

rtmps://rtmp.boxcast.com/live

Simply remove the "s", making it this instead:

rtmp://rtmp.boxcast.com/live

That should solve your issue. If you have more questions, please feel free to reach out to our support team in the chat below!
