RTMP livestream to Youtube?

[Muppet_652097732632624]

Hi all, I've just got a new 510A IP camera and I was under the impression that I could livestream directly to Youtube WITHOUT using a third party encoder?
I understood that using RTMP (not rtSp) that the camera settings would allow me to paste in the Youtube magic key.......

The problem is there isn't anywhere in the settings to paste a key for RTMP?
All the help docs at Reolink seem to address using RTSP and also using an encoder .... this isn't needed with RTSP I thought...?

Any thoughts?
Regards

@muppet_652097732632624 Reolink has this article on the web. (note that we cannot post actual URLs, so I have removed the "web part":

@muppet_652097732632624 See if this helps you. https://reolink.com/blog/stream-ip-camera-to-youtube/ RTSP does need an encoder (use open source OBS) to stream to YouTube unlike RTMP which allows you to live stream directly to YouTube without using any encoders.

I have the same question ad Muppet.
Why can't I send the RTMP video from my RLC-510WA camera directly to YouTube without the use of a third party encoder?
I tested the RTMP URL on VLC and was able to make it see the video on VLC.
What am I missing?

@muppet_652097732632624 You need an encoder like OBS to live stream to YouTube. This allows you to add security stream key required by YouTube. I guess Reolink is using an old RTMP media C++ library. For instance for the RTSP they are using the open source LIVE555 streaming media C++ libraries which again is old (8 years) as illustrated below.
