The guide shows how to create a 
Facebook Live stream using 
RadioBOSS. The stream will consist of a static image (e.g. radio station logo) and audio from what is playing in RadioBOSS.
Install FFMpeg
1. Download FFMpeg from 
https://www.ffmpeg.org (you will need Windows build) or use the file hosted on our server: 
https://dl.djsoft.net/ffmpeg.zip
2. Unpack FFMpeg archive. In the example we'll use 
C:\ffmpeg location.
Get Facebook Live streaming credentials
1. Visit 
https://www.facebook.com/live/create and click the 
Create live stream option.
2. It is recommended to enable the "Use a persistent stream key" option to prevent stream key from changing on each broadcast.
c. The 
Server URL and 
Persistent Stream Key will be needed for the next step
Create custom encoder in RadioBOSS
1. Open 
Settings and navigate to 
Broadcasting. Click the 
Advanced button and then click the
Custom encoders button.
2. In the custom encoders window click the 
+ button, name the encoder ("FB Live" in the example) and enter the following command:
Change the 
path_to_image part to actual image location, e.g. 
C:\radio\background.jpg
Change the 
stream part to 
Server URL and 
Persistent Stream Key, following each other. For instance,
Server URL is 
rtmp://live-api-s.facebook.com:80/rtmp/
Persistent Stream Key is 
10204966136309946?ds=1&s_sw=0&s_vt=api-s&a=AbwYXNiE0zQsjgJY
The 
stream would be
	
	
	
		Code:
	
	
		rtmp://live-api-s.facebook.com:80/rtmp/10204966136309946?ds=1&s_sw=0&s_vt=api-s&a=AbwYXNiE0zQsjgJY
	 
 
The example of how the final command would look like:
Start streaming
1. Add new encoder in RadioBOSS. Enter 
[IA]:8000:50 to the Server field.
2. At the bottom, select the "
FB Live" encoder. Make sure the rest of the settings are at their defaults: sample rate is 44100, channels - stereo, bitrate - 128 kbps. Click 
OK.
3. Start music playback in RadioBOSS.
On successful connection, the report in the bottom-left corner will show the following message: 
Connected to server! (output N). and the stream will be available on the Facebook live page.
The Facebook page should now show the image and play audio (it can be muted by default on the facebook page).
