Answer 2

if you're looking for a professional software there is a software solution to your problem, its a freeware program with a paid web interface. its called Nimble streamer. the transcoding option is also paid, but it can do it all automatically, you simply setup the web interface on the server to output an hls stream and just stream to the server using rtmp, then just playback the server address through your preferred playback setup.... https://wmspanel.com/transcoder

good luck!
