+MediaCMS can be integrated with a self-hosted live streaming server using Owncast. This allows you to display a link to a live stream at the top of the MediaCMS homepage as if it was a regular video, and it shows a Live button in the left nav menu which, when properly set up, also shows whether the stream is live or offline. Please note that because of the way Owncast works, there is only one Owncast installation per MediaCMS and thus you can only have one live stream at a time, and the live streams are not automatically uploaded into MediaCMS.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+1. Download, install, and configure Owncast. Setup of Owncast is outside the scope of this guide, but the Owncast documentation has very good directions at [Owncast Quickstart](https://owncast.online/quickstart/)
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+2. Test out Owncast to make sure that your streaming software is properly set up to stream to it and that you can watch it as a viewer in a browser. If this doesn't work, the tie-in to MediaCMS will not work, either.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+3. Add these two configuration lines as in [Section 5. Configuration](#5-configuration), customized with the address for your Owncast instance:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|
+LIVESTREAM_BACKEND = 'owncast'
|
|
|
+LIVESTREAM_URI = 'https://live.example.com/'
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+4. Restart MediaCMS
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+## 16. Debugging email issues
|
|
|
On the [Configuration](https://github.com/mediacms-io/mediacms/blob/main/docs/admins_docs.md#5-configuration) section of this guide we've see how to edit the email settings.
|
|
|
In case we are yet unable to receive email from MediaCMS, the following may help us debug the issue - in most cases it is an issue of setting the correct username, password or TLS option
