Client Mod Setup

There is an additional Fabric client mod for boiler to provide better streaming performance

How does it work?

The Boiler plugin comes bundled with mediamtx (a streaming server). The plugin publishes content to the streaming server. When you join the server the plugin will send the rtsp stream url and the credentials to your client. The client will open the stream using VLCj in the background and render the video output to a surface in minecraft

Installation

First, you need to install the AdvancedBoiler mod and its dependecies from modrinth

You will also need to install VLC media player because it's needed for video decoding

Plugin configuration

Edit the config of the Boiler plugin

boiler:
  settings:
    client:
      enabled: true
  client:
    rtmp_port: 8554
    rtmp_host: localhost

First, you need to set client.enabled to true

Client Settings

rtmp_port port of the streams

rtmp_host the host that will be sent to the clients. The stream must be accesible from here. This should be your servers domain/ip address

Important

You will need to open up an additional port on your server for the stream server! In this case 8554.
