To run the app you would need Docker and make - Docker installation guide

1. Clone or download the repo git clone https://github.com/juniorxsound/libav-RTMP-Streaming.git
2. Place an mp4 file you would like to stream in samples/ folder
3. Create a build folder inside the root directory
4. From within the root directory run make build to create the Docker container
5. Open main.cpp and change the video file name and RTMP server address in line 12

Streamer streamer("samples/your_video_test_file.mp4", "rtmp://your_rtmp_streaming_endpoint");

6. Run make run and if everything goes smooth, you should be live streaming your video file to the RTMP server ✨
