APPLICATION: forward to external servers

[Steinies]

This goes as feature request.

I downloaded and compiled srs then I tried to forward with this config:
v2:

vhost __defaultVhost__ {
	forward live-cdg.twitch.tv:1935/app/live_KryGoHere
}

v3:

vhost __defaultVhost__ {
    forward {
        enabled on;
        destination live-cdg.twitch.tv:1935/app/live_KryGoHere
    }
}

And i noticed that as tcUrl the server adds vHost and other information and other not nice things.

Is there a way to accomplish that? If not can an option for external forward to "not srs server" be added?
I would like to stream to my server and this one should stream to multiple targets.
e.g.:
destination live-cdg.twitch.tv:1935/app/live_KryGoHere a.rtmp.youtube.com:1935/live2/key1234

I even tried to edit srs_app_forward.cpp, but it did not worked.

Here is my approach by using srs v1.FYI

I also prefer to use FORWARD for this purpose.

===========

transcode {
enabled on;
ffmpeg /root/ffmpeg/ffmpeg-3.0.2-64bit-static/ffmpeg;

    engine youtube_live {
        enabled         on;
        vcodec          copy;
        acodec          copy;
        output          rtmp://a.rtmp.youtube.com/live2/qwqm-f1sf-9g1m-868s;
    }

}

@bzdk You use the ingester to forward which need to forward one by one. The forward can apply rulers to all stream which publish to origin. I think it's ok when there is only few streams to forward, but we must use forward for amount of streams under the same ruler.

@winlinvip agreed.

What is the state for this feature in 3.0?
It is too much of a limit inability to forward to external server.
For example what I need to accomplish is

OSB -----> SRS -----> (streaming platform A: xxx.com/key123)
|--> (streaming platform B: yyy.com/key456)
|--> (streaming platform C: zzz.com/key789)

In 2.0 I think the only solution is the copy transcode.
In Nginx is easy to push to multiple external server, without the demux/remux overhead and the spawn of ffmpeg, like in:

application live{

live on;
record off;
meta copy;
push “rtmp://xxx.com/key123”;
push “rtmp://yyy.com/key456”;
push “rtmp://xxx.com/key789”;
#Add all your rtmp endpoints here
}
