The Truth About My IRL Live-stream

[@TerryB]

Moblin is currently only available for ios; however you can use android phones as relays. Tons of info, smart people, and how-to's on the Moblin Discord: discord.gg/2VMQEMw5 I highly recommend downloading the app and starting there. Forgot to mention the percentages next to my relay phones are battery percentages of each phone 😊

[@KnottyLoss]

whenever Terry charges all of his live stream devices there's a neighborhood blackout on the other side of the city

[@DiscoverHudsonValley]

Sick setup man! Now I totally want to start doing this for my channel. Crazy that you can do the live stream on multiple phones like that with Moblin. Thanks for the inspiration and for all of the info about your setup. Cheers.

[@ArtFalcon]

Bro, I have watched you stream for years with all kinds of crazy gear and to see how far you have progressed is truly amazing. So glad you discovered Moblin and are now able to use such a low profile and super solid system. Looking forward to many more adventures with the new setup! 🤙🤙🤙

[@benjaminrosich]

Hey Terry 👋 You are the BEST my dude 😎 No reason to do this, but you went above doing this. Fantastic explanation for anyone wondering to know about this stuff. Now you'll have to link it in every video 😂😂😂

[@TerryB]

Already have a chat command set for it. !rig

[@azzurri5940]

the beans have been spilled

[@iJerrrrrry]

terry's a real one! i've always been curiousnas to how irl streaming setup be like. thanks for sharing :)

[@wamikerand]

Terry, gotta say I appreciate this setup! So cool to see a software only solution ( on phones instead of other specialty hardware)

[@TerryB]

It’s so simple to set up.

[@SHADETREE666]

Ok I get why you’re so hyped on this app now. This is cool to see how it all works. So if you’re riding through a zone that has horrible T-mobile coverage let’s say, the app will automatically shift your stream to one of the other providers seamlessly? That’s pretty sick. Thanks for breaking it down for us.

[@TerryB]

Not exactly, my other systems had 3 bonded connections as well. All sims are connected if there’s cell service. When you have all the service providers you minimize the chance of interruptions/ low bit rate in the stream.

[@SHADETREE666]

@@TerryBgotcha. Thanks, super cool stuff

[@R1D3R37]

Awesome breakdown vid! Margot stole the show tho..👊😻👍

[@TerryB]

Margot’s got the moves

[@melaninxhalide1165]

Appreciate you taking the time to share this information with us. One of the first videos of yours I watched was a breakdown of how you streamed when you were running a poll on the back of your bike. Anyway, I saw in a previous comment that you use IRLToolKit for your OBS and I wanted to say that I too would be interested in seeing a video in how you use that with the stream setup you just showed us. Safe travels to you and thank you for being so gracious to share your knowledge with us. Appreciate you very much! 🙏🏾

[@TerryB]

IRLTOOLKIT.com check it out

[@Jiiwt]

Terry is for the people. Thank you x1000.

[@askforshane]

Terry, thanks for this info! I've been curious how you have yours setup. I think I'm on the verge of live streaming at this point! Can't wait to show y'all Tennessee via bike :) I am interested to see what the remote OBS control looks like from your side on Moblin. I think I would just start out just by streaming from the phone direct to twitch, but the remote OBS solution seems nice for uptime and not splitting streams when things break. Anyway, thanks again for being so open and sharing this information with the community. I really appreciate that you're not into keeping secrets like this! Cheers and thanks for stream :)

[@TerryB]

Excited to see Tennessee. I use irltoolkit.com/ for my virtual OBS. There’s cheaper options out there but I’ve been using them since 2020 and I’m happy with their service. There’s also a one button click to connect Moblin to irltoolkit which makes setup really easy. If there’s more interest I’ll go into how I setup the backend and monthly costs.

[@garrettvandorsten2755]

@@TerryBthat’s what I thought this video was going to be about lol, what you explained here is pretty straight forward. It’s all the technical backend shit that’s confusing.

[@TerryB]

@ give it a try you'll get it

[@teymthebeast]

Thank you so much for this overview and being so open about it. I might really just need a super mini version of this for walking, so looking forward to testing that.

[@TerryB]

One iPhone one hotspot/ additional sell phone will do the trick

[@teymthebeast]

@@TerryB Thanks a lot!

[@TimFitzwater]

Is it worth having two phones on the same network at all - does it help to hot spot like that? Or at that point just use one until you can get multiple carriers?

[@TerryB]

Doubling up on a carrier is great, but it’s better to have multiple carriers.

[@Affalterbach1967]

I have used a cellphone as in-car dashcam to video interesting roads but it often overheats after 30 minutes. Riding outdoors in NYC winters solves overheating.

[@TerryB]

Yeah, I have to worry about that when it’s really hot out too.

[@JRmntain]

I’ll never do this, never fully understand all the tech but love how you break down your solution and the outcome.

[@chunkbot]

This is a great overview. This must have taken a while for you to set up and hone. Sounds like Moblin does a lot of the heavy lifting.

[@chunkbot]

You run OBS on a virtual private server? is this because you can't really carry around a computer with you?

[@TerryB]

This simplifies the process for me. Meaning I don’t have to have a computer that I know is on at all times to connect to.

[@The_Original_Yanis]

The truth? Are you implying that you were faking something? hahahaha Keep the streams coming Terry! 💪

[@ivansebanucci]

This is great and way cheaper than LiveU or other hardware devices. Thx for the info Terry, always on point. Just one question: Do you run the other cellphones on 5G? It is necessary? Or 4G is fine? I'm definitely joining into the discord channel.

[@TerryB]

If it can connect to 5G I have it set that way. Some of the old phones don’t have the ability to connect

[@sduffydoze5692]

Terry, as a guitarist this feels sorta like my signal chain for my pedalboard haha

[@chrdal]

Great overview! Would love a more in depth tutorial on settings and how to set it up from new install! I figured some things out from checking a few videos here on YT. Was a great moment when the OA4's video stream came up on the app for the first time :)

[@jamiemlawrence]

thanks for pioneering

[@UniversalPioneer]

This seems to be a game changer, and I just bought a YoloBox Mini. This seems better than going the Bellabox route, which I also figured out after getting the locked-down YoloBox Mini 😂 Thanks for sharing all this! I was thinking hard wire was king, but this is pretty damn good for wireless.

[@TerryB]

The yolobox was great at the time. Times have changed. Mainly with iPhone computing power and smart developers tinkering in the IRL live-streaming world. There’s a bunch of other reasons this system destroys everything other option for small irl streams, but I didn’t want to get into the weeds.

[@DavidBigandt]

is it the Osmo Action 4 mic that picks up your voice?

[@TerryB]

Yes

[@alldaynyc.]

Moblin is the way!!!🙌

[@gavinstjohn]

really dig the workflow and setup videos

[@davebaker4663]

Great informative video but the Jellicle cat bits are the best - more cat! 🤣😉

[@TerryB]

The old tuxedo kitty

[@gabrielbrown4656]

Informative. Thanks. Have you tried with just one or two phones for the mobile uplink? How well does that work riding around NYC?

[@TerryB]

I have but it’s not always the best connection on a bike. Walking you can get away with it.

[@shoefernie]

Thank you for this video Terry! It's time for me to invest in some DJI cams it seems

[@LagunaEsuna]

The TRUTH on shaky handheld... in the bedroom😂 Terry, are you aiming for audiences not necessarily connected to bike life? 😄

[@Affalterbach1967]

Wilder setup than one phone running Instagram Stories livestream or X Broaddcast etc. Thanks Terry for the details.

[@TerryB]

Yeah, this is a big jump from the basics, but it gets the job done.

[@BravoAfterDark]

Can we get the tech setup video

[@Knirpz]

Moblin is also a gamechanger for me! I use exactly the same setup

[@TerryB]

It’s so lightweight! Makes it a breeze to ride and do bike tours.

[@tartoras]

so, hypothetically, all you need is the cam and 1 phone with Moblin? The other phones are just for network redundancy? essentially just modems, that the pixel is managing?

[@TerryB]

Correct

[@MacShad0w]

Is it better to run the hotspot from you non main phone? If I do add a second phone, is it better to have that phone for the hotspot? Why wouldn’t you have your main phone running the hotspot? I have only 50gig of hotspot before it throttles on my main iphone 14 on att, so was going to add visible to my xs max for its unlimited hotspot. So I’m just wondering other than the limit on my att hotspot before throttling, why would you not run hotspot from main device? I have trouble understanding the difference between hotspot Wi-Fi and cellular. I would definitely like to see a moblin set up from you in the future. Great video. Thanks.

[@TerryB]

The hotspot isn’t necessarily for data. It’s to run a local network to connect the other sims and DJI camera. Androids let you connect multiple devices where iPhones are capped at 3

[@vfen]

if you get a phone call, does it go the alerts speaker automatically?

[@TerryB]

Not sure, I have all my alerts off for calls and texts.

[@makrela]

Thanks for sharing, I have never thought mobile live streaming is so interesting from tech pov. It is like the best kind of diy

[@lmbraga]

Just from a techie perspective this is pretty cool. Would you be able to get away with dual-sim phones to drop the number of devices.

[@TerryB]

Currently dual sim phones don't use both sims simultaneously. I have heard of a Russian phone that has the ability.

[@urbanbikess]

Absolute legend

[@drewsfarmhouse]

Thanks TB. Friggin genius each iteration.

[@TerryB]

I can’t take credit. It’s the folks at Moblin

[@michaelrutchik9906]

You are absolutely a genius.

[@dancapewell]

Its alot more compact then your cross country setup with the large 12v powerbanks and the streming boxes etc

[@drftkng.]

That is so sick. Spreading knowledge out to the people. Love it.

[@TerryB]

check it out. It's so nice

[@truemarmalade]

And now I'm thinking about attaching a camera mount to the front of my Omnium and streaming while I ramble 🤔

[@TerryB]

Do it

[@phlufff_fxd]

Bonkers! Good insight man My Neanderthal brain lost you so early in the video

[@TerryB]

That’s how I feel hanging out in the Moblin discord.

[@BrimnirPorter]

super interesting - seems easier than i thought with less tech than a few years ago - thats great, Thank you for sharing,

[@ytube777]

Why does one need at least two cell phones? Can you just use one cell phone running the hotspot and moblin on it?

[@TerryB]

One phone and a separate hotspot or WiFi connection will work, however results will vary depending on what cell towers and networks you have in your area.

[@al-du6lb]

I accidentally bought gopro stock, should I just sell it and move on?

[@magna378]

I was litrally wondering how you did this stuff yesterday

[@TerryB]

Glad you enjoyed the video, let me know if you have any other questions.

[@TheBikeLife]

Cries in Gopro (and Android)

[@SvenKillig]

The GoPro should be able to send RTMP to Moblin, too.

[@TerryB]

it sort of does but it's clunky, and gopro limits the bit rate. Where moblin can force the OA4 to puh up to 20mbs

[@RonTheGod]

That's clever Thanks for sharing Terry

[@TerryB]

Glad I could help

[@BravoAfterDark]

Thank you so much man

[@mattrhoades1979]

Thanks Terry been looking forward to this one! -flyboirho

[@TerryB]

No worries

[@suryanima_chandranima]

Don't you miss wearing a helmet attached gimbal and camera on your head while weaving through cars? Haha. I'll never not love the over-the-left-shoulder view from tour. That was easily the best of all views. You got your horizon, we can see you 3rd person, we can see all around you and who you're riding with, and, if positioned just right, we can see directly in front of you as well.

[@suryanima_chandranima]

This here, though, is super light weight, portable, yet fully capable. Very nice set up, and gear run-down, Terry. Thank you!

[@pedallinraw]

Tech 👍🏻…..nicely explained T B 🤗👊🏻

[@hevdread]

Offset camera mount for the OCD in you

[@TerryB]

Center up!

[@suryanima_chandranima]

Things have changed a lot since the cross country tour, huh?! Wow...

[@SHADETREE666]

What’s “OBS”?

[@TerryB]

Open broadcast software. It’s software that many use for live-streams and multi camera recording.

[@seanrich5728]

I think it's new type of wax..😂

[@rdslmi]

Love it thanks for sharing

[@TerryB]

Thanks for watching!

[@76844]

I imagine you could purchase a phone with 3 sim card, eSim or otherwise. You should be able to do the same thing without having that many devices, just connect eSim to Verizon+AT&T+T-Mobile.

[@TerryB]

No that doesn’t work. The networks are bonded with Moblin.

[@senenrc]

this is so cool

[@grasswinner88]

I said about company Globo or something from my previous work, why usually the dead line between customer for delivery, may have some of delay that measured from 1 hour -4 hours, between synchronizing phone with the rider, also phone with customer, also connection in GPS with the needed drop off destination, also should be good synchronization of map with the antenna like you said between the system, also should be good communication of the rider with the customer, also singing the contract before taking or just receiving the dinner. And communication cost money, effort time, is weird you why even if it is dead line then is just off, I speak about my own country Republic of Moldova. Why for example if it is dead line, then the customer is just lost and is fail, good communication between delivery and also with for example the rider could solve the problem. But imagine if you have multiple clients, then what will happen with all your customers that have dead line, is better to not accept them, even if it will be the last in the list. Is kind of weird. And if you will include system CRM in the list with GPS, they usually calculate how much time you spent, how much clients were served. Not only. Is just reminding another simple example from childhood my father said to me one basic sentence if you will grab with you baggage that should be returned to the customer, then you have to do it in this way like if you walk per I don't 5 meters = price of how much $, but father said that the movement cost money calculated per road. :(( Maybe they the same calculate something like how much you have eaten, to check the energy stamina or something like this. Sorry.

[@grasswinner88]

Reminding that I said should be my last comment.

[@TheDaSilvaMatheus]

[@Massproduce201]
