VRChat.CDNs

for VRChat usage, many streams are tossed into VRCDN for their low-latency audio livestreaming. streaming 5.1 channel audio has some important notes.

audio track bitrate

in your OBS Settings, in the Output tab and inside the Audio section, each Track has a selectable bitrate. if your profile has 5.1+ audio enabled, you will be able to set each Track's bitrate higher than 320. for most intensive purposes, it's recommended to set the bitrate of the Track containing the STIR source to 800 or greater. (this is Track 1 by default.)

if you decide to use a Track bitrate of greater than 320, you may experience some audio glitches and instability throughout the stream's duration using RTSPT. in this case, use MPEG-TS links. note that MPEG-TS is not "low-latency" and can be quite a bit behind.

restreaming

as an event manager for DJ events, you may be inclined to pull DJ's streams on your system and re-stream them. as many DJ-to-VJ setups, pulling the DJ's stream via RTSPT will be the ideal low latency method.

Note

RTSPT (rtspt://) is a wrapper of RTSP with TCP transport enabled, and is used for VRChat's video players. for systems or programs that do not support TCP transport or the rtspt scheme, the protocol can safely be truncated to rtsp://.
