I have a really simple question but the answer may be a little more complex I guess.

Okay. Let's go. I have an Application called Xsplit Broadcaster (http://www.xsplit.com/). It supports streaming video through RTMP. Now what I want to do is this:

                                              +--(720p)--> TwitchTV FirstChannel
XSplit --(720p RTMP)-->[MyTranscodingServer]--+
                                              +--(360p)--> TwitchTV SecondChannel

Is there a simple way to do this?

Additional info: Both channels accept standard RTMP stream on their RTMP endpoint using either username/password or streamkey. The server operating system is GNU/Linux. The solution may not be paid, otherwise we'd be using AkamaiHD Network or such service. This is a non-profit project.

Although I haven't used it myself, you may want to look into the following Wowza Transcoder AddOn

Wowza isn't free, I don't know if there are budget restrictions or not?

A very similar question has also been asked on StackOverflow, there the OP eventually developed a solution with GStreamer. Their wiki has a page on transcoding which may serve as a starting point.

  • Updated the question. We don't want to pay for software we can write ourselves (with help of ffmpeg libs) – lmojzis Aug 30 '12 at 02:10
  • Added a free alternative in my solution, although it isn't a complete ready-made solution for your problem it may be easier to implement than ffmpeg. – brain99 Aug 30 '12 at 09:49
