I think I am doing something fundamentally wrong, please correct me if my architecture is wrong.

I have already made a config to record rtmp, and it is working.

server {

listen NGINXPORT;

chunk_size 4096;

buflen 1s;

notify_method get;

application app {

live on;

deny play all;

allow publish all;

on_publish http://localhost:xxxxx/publish;

on_record_done http://localhost:xxxxx/record_done;

recorder chunked {

record all;

record_interval 5s;

record_unique on;

record_path /var/www/html/recordings/;

}

}

I am using https://github.com/ossrs/srs to convert an rtmp stream into webrtc. it is also working. If I point the video device to NGINXPORT, i get the recordings. if i point it ot the srs rtmp port i get webrtc stream. Is there a way to do both? That is, I point the device to nginx, nginx records it but acts as a client to send to webrtc? One way i can think of is to use exec_done callback to execute ffmpeg -re -i $recordedname … SRS_RTMP_URL, so that after each segment is saved it is streamed to srs. Is there a better way? I think calling ffmpeg each time will become resource heavy, but i could be wrong, but it will increase the latency of the webrtc playback by 5 seconds (because record_interval is 5s). Is there a way to make nginx rtmp module forward the data in parallel?
