Restream Setup Guide

Use the same public stream URL that already works in a standalone player.

RTSP
RTMP
RTMPS
HTTP
HTTPS

Use a direct source URL. Frontend setup is optimized for the protocols above, while some advanced server configurations may also support additional transport types.

**

Test the source first

Paste the exact address that already opens successfully in [VLC](https://www.videolan.org/vlc/) or another player.

**

Include full access details

If the source requires authentication or a non-standard port, include those details directly in the URL.

**

Prefer playback-friendly codecs

For best compatibility, configure H.264 or H.265 video with AAC audio when your source device allows it.

Network access checklist

The source must be reachable from the public internet. Local addresses like localhost or 192.168.x.x will not work unless exposed externally.

If the device is behind a router, configure [port forwarding](https://portforward.com/).

If the public address changes over time, use [Dynamic DNS](https://docs.cpanel.net/cpanel/domains/dynamic-dns/) so the source stays reachable.
