Don't panic if you don't see a region that seems to fit with that rule. Just select the nearest one, really.

We do not support the SRT "Rendez-Vous" mode You may wonder what are the differences between these two modes and why you should choose one or the other. Both mFew readers

• Using the RTMP Input

  Quortex supports RTMP and RTMPS as input protocols. Although it offers less flexibility and resiliency than SRT, RTMP is still widely available and can be used for ingesting your stream. You can check this article if you want to learn more about SRT and RTMP protocols. Selecting RTMP When using RTMP, the endpoint will be automatically created by the platform. Hence, you don't have any parameter to enter. (https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/9845223dbfb4e800/rtmpinput1j9dumuFew readers
