IRLPro Setup: Stream From Android to OBS via RTMP/SRT

IRLPro is a popular Android app for IRL streaming (going live on the move, out in the real world rather than from a desk). This guide shows you how to set it up so your Android phone’s camera sends video to a StreamRelay endpoint — a fixed internet address we host for you — using either RTMP or SRT. Both are just ways of carrying live video over the internet. The end result: your phone’s feed shows up in OBS (the free live-streaming software) on your PC.

Before you start

IRLPro installed on your Android device.
A StreamRelay endpoint — the dashboard gives you a ready-made publish URL (the address your phone uploads to, with your secret publish key included). From €9.99/month.
OBS on your PC, ready to pull the feed — meaning OBS grabs the video back down from the relay.

Step 1: Add a custom destination

In IRLPro, open the streaming settings and add a Custom RTMP (or SRT) destination. “Custom” just means you’re pointing the app at your own server (StreamRelay) instead of a built-in platform like Twitch or YouTube.

Step 2: Enter the StreamRelay server and key

Type these in exactly — one wrong character and the video won’t arrive.

RTMP: Server rtmp://<id>.ingest.stream-relay.eu:1935/live, Stream key <slug>?pass=<publishKey>. Your secret publish key goes in the ?pass= part — the dashboard publish URL shows the exact string. (If IRLPro rejects the ? in the stream-key field, paste the whole publish URL rtmp://<id>.ingest.stream-relay.eu:1935/live/<slug>?pass=<publishKey> into the server box and leave the stream key empty.)
SRT: srt://<id>.ingest.stream-relay.eu:4000?streamid=publish:live/<slug>:_:<publishKey>.

Step 3: Set bitrate and resolution

Start at 1080p30 (Full HD at 30 frames per second — smooth and sharp without being demanding). Then set the bitrate — that’s how much data per second you send, so higher means better picture but it needs a stronger connection. Match it to your weakest signal, not your best: 4,000–6,000 kbps when you have strong 5G or Wi-Fi, lower on a shaky connection. StreamRelay carries one connection, so don’t over-reach — if you push more than your signal can handle, the video stutters or drops.

Step 4: Go live and add it in OBS

Start the stream in IRLPro, then add your endpoint as a Media Source in OBS (a Media Source is just a box in OBS that plays incoming video) — see the OBS setup guide.

RTMP or SRT in IRLPro?

RTMP is the simplest to set up and works almost everywhere. SRT is tougher on cellular — it recovers better when the mobile signal wobbles, so the picture holds together on a patchy connection. See SRT vs RTMP.

Frequently asked questions

Can IRLPro stream to a custom RTMP server? Yes — add a custom RTMP destination with the StreamRelay server URL and your key.

Why is my IRLPro stream not reaching OBS? Confirm the server URL and key are exact, that IRLPro shows it’s live, and that the OBS pull URL matches your endpoint.
