Broadcast on Roku

In order to have your LIVE stream played on Roku devices, you must meet the following requirements:

1. You must have the ability to broadcast to Roku – as shown on the Premium Packages here: http://www.live.nkt.tv/manual/website-frontend/upgrade-account-page/.

2. You must use one supported Broadcaster for your Live stream. The only broadcasters that are supported for streaming on Roku are: HD Wave, SD Wave and Flash Media Live Encoder (requires AAC Audio Plug-in).

Important: the only supported environments are LIVE through HD Wave or SD Wave. You may also stream LIVE via Flash Media Live Encoder, but these are not supported by Streaming platform and time to trouble shoot is considered exploratory.

 

Below we will explain the settings that you will have to do on the HD Wave (SD Wave has the same settings) and Flash Media Live Encoder software in order to have the stream available on Roku.

 

A. HD Wave broadcaster

After you have installed the HD Wave broadcaster, run the application, select the video and audio source and the channel where you want to stream.

After you have installed the FMLE broadcaster, run the application, enter the RTMP details of the channel where you want to stream, select the video and audio source and start the broadcast:

Important: the video format should be H.264 and the audio format should be AAC.
