rtmp

A local RTMP + HLS server for JimRsng's streaming workspace.

It accepts an RTMP input, generates HLS output with FFmpeg, and serves media over HTTP.
It also supports a development mode without Cloudflare Tunnel and token caching for production runs.

Features

• RTMP ingest with FFmpeg processing
• HLS output served via HTTP
• Auto-installs cloudflared.exe and ffmpeg.exe into %LOCALAPPDATA%
• --dev mode (no tunnel)
• Cloudflare token validation and cache
• Startup update check

Requirements

• Node.js 22 or newer
• pnpm

Quick Start

• Install dependencies

  pnpm install

• Run app

  # Dev mode (no tunnel)

Build and Compile

Build

Creates the distributable JavaScript output in dist/.

pnpm build

Compile (Windows executable)

Builds the project, packages it as a Windows .exe, and applies executable metadata.

pnpm compile

Output file:

• pkg/jim-rtmp.exe

Current compile target: node24-win-x64.

App usage

When the app starts for the first time, it asks for your Cloudflare Tunnel token.

1. Enter your token when prompted.
2. Choose whether to save it for future runs.
3. If saved, the app will use the cached token on next launches and will not ask again.
4. Then FFmpeg starts listening for RTMP and begins processing as soon as a stream is received.

• RTMP served at rtmp://127.0.0.1:5740/live
• HTTP served at http://127.0.0.1:8080/live
