MUX Streams

MUX streams can be created in two ways:

1. By clicking the Create Stream button, which allows you to add a custom stream.
2. By clicking Generate Streams From Time Blocks button.

Create Stream

The Create Stream option allows you to create a single stream.

Create Stream instructions

• Title format:
  • "DayX Elim MatX"
  • "DayX FB MatX"
  • "DayX Elim ComX"
  • "DayX FB ComX"
• Code format:
  • (competition code)_dX_el_mX
  • (competition code)_dX_fb_mX
  • (competition code)_dX_com_X
• Latency Mode:
  • Standard (for slow internet)
  • Reduced (for good internet)
  • Low

Where "d" stands for day, "m" stands for mat, and "X" represents a number starting from 1.

Create streams from time blocks

If you generate streams from time blocks, all streams will be automatically added based on your time blocks in the Time Blocks section.

When generating streams from time blocks, you can opt to create test streams and select the desired "Latency Mode".

Create stream from asset (if stream overwrites)

Stream overwrites

In some cases, a MUX stream may overwrite itself during a break, causing the first part of the stream to be lost. With this function, you can retrieve the lost MUX stream from the asset.

RETRIEVE LOST MUX STREAM:

1. Find MUX stream that was overwritten and visit its MUX dashboard
2. Click button Generate Stream from asset ID and insert Stream ID and Asset ID from MUX dashboard

STREAM ID:

ASSET ID:

Once Stream ID and Asset ID are found, insert them into form:

3. New stream from asset will be generated and you can insert it to timeblock or videos

Restream to Youtube

To restream to YouTube:

1. Select the competition and navigate to the MUX Streams section.
2. Once the stream is created, you can set up the restream. This must be done before starting the stream on MUX.

Requirements:

• Mux stream must be made
• YT key (they will give it to you)
• Stream URL: rtmp://x.rtmp.youtube.com/live2
• Passthrough can be empty or code of mux stream (for example: cont_cup_jun_ita2023_d1_elfb_m2)

Export Stream Keys

You can export all stream keys and SRT keys as a text document by clicking the Export button.

STEPS

1. First, select the Export Type from the dropdown.
2. Click button Export

This will generate a document with the exported keys.

OBS and VMIX

In the OBS Export, you will find keys formatted as:
srt://global-live.mux.com:6001?streamid={STREAM KEY}&passphrase={SRT KEY}&latency=2000000

In the vMix Export, you will find keys formatted as:
Steam name
Passphrase: {SRT KEY}
Stream ID: {MUX KEY}

Mux Statistics

You can export MUX statistics as a CSV file by clicking the Export Statistics CSV button.

This will generate a CSV document. Use Excel's "Text to Columns" function to separate the stream name and the total watched hours.

Set Reconnect Slate File

This function allows you to set an image that will be displayed if the stream has no signal (e.g., due to poor network or the stream going offline).

In the Quick Exports section, you'll find the "Reconnect Slate File" uploader:

basic reconnect slate file

If the file is not set, mux will use standard "Stream Currently Offline" picture:

You can also see which slate file is used for each stream:

To upload slate file use "Upload" button and select image you want:

After that click "Save" button:

SLATE FILE UPLOAD

Reconnect Slate File MUST be uploaded before ANY of the streams start

To remove reconnect slate file click "Trash" button

When the stream goes offline or loses connection, the uploaded image will be displayed:

Create video from Mux Stream

This feature allows you to create a video directly in the "Videos" module, making it easier and faster to set a main video. To create a video from a MUX stream, follow these steps:

1. Click Create Video From Stream button
2. Enter the required information in the popup.
3. Click Create Video button

Create Video from Stream POPUP

1. Title: Name of the video (e.g., "Draw," "Opening Ceremony").
2. Subtitle: Full name of the competition.
3. Requires Subscription: If checked, only gold subscribers will be able to view the video.
4. Visibility:
   • Unlisted: The video will be visible during the live stream on JudoTV but not in the videos section.
   • Public: The video will also appear in the videos section on JudoTV.
   • Private: The video will not be displayed anywhere.

Once the video is created, it can be:
