Note:
The RTMP push streaming URL generated by the platform is in the format
rtmp://{domain name}/{appname}/{streamname}, and all three parameters are customizable:domain name: the push streaming domain. You can upload a filed domain as prompted on the page. Otherwise, the public IP address of the platform service is used by default.appname: only letters and digits are supported, and the length cannot exceed 32 characters. Otherwise, the default value is live.streamname: only letters and digits are supported, and the length cannot exceed 32 characters. Otherwise, the default value is the 10-digit device ID generated by the platform.Obtaining the Push Streaming URL
On the Device Management page, click the target device name to go to the device details page and obtain the RTMP push streaming URL.

Configuring Audio and Video Parameters (Optional)
When network resources are insufficient or fluctuate significantly on the same network, video stuttering or live streaming failures may occur. It is recommended to configure audio and video parameters by referring to the following methods. This configuration is required only for device-side push streaming, and is not required for software-based push streaming.
Log in to the device Web management page and configure the audio and video parameters. This document uses the secondary stream as an example.
Verifying Access Results
After completing the push streaming configuration, return to the ISS console and confirm on the device details page that the device status is displayed as Online and the live streaming preview plays normally. This indicates that the device access is successful.

appname and streamname in the push streaming URL support only letters and digits, with a maximum length of 32 characters. If not customized, they default to live and the 10-digit device ID generated by the platform, respectively.The push streaming domain must have completed ICP filing. Otherwise, the public IP address of the platform service is used by default.
Token anti-leech authentication is enabled by default on the platform. If authentication is not required, you can disable it in Service Configuration > Authentication Configuration.
