Getting started

Sign Up/ Sign In

If you do not have a bintu account yet please click here to create a new account.

To sign in use the credentials you usually use to sign in to bintu.

Dashboard

After logging in successfully you will be redirected to the dashboard.

On the top of the page you will be able to see your company name. Wheter you have a trial version or not, you will see it under it ("Free Trial").

The overview shows your total streams, your total live streams, the amount of all user and tags your organisation has. By clicking on the boxes you will be redirected to the page that includes the full overview. Down below are your 5 latest live streams. To see all, click on the "See all streams" button.

Create Stream

Only one click ("Create new stream") is required to create a new stream. If you want to customize the stream, there are two possibilities to do that (Add tags, Add Transcoding). They are all optional.

1. Add Stream Tags

To add stream tags you can either type them manually in or choose from your existing ones.

2. Add Transcoding Profiles If your organisation has been enabled our "transcoding" feature, your are able to set transcoding profiles to create a transcoded stream. You can choose from several profiles and add tags to the profile.

New stream

After creating a new stream you will be able to see a overview with all the informations you need to start a stream.

1. Start the Ingest In this section the ingest informations are placed including RTMP streamname and RTMP URL. You can copy them by clicking on the copy icon on the right end of the row.

2. Access the Playout In this section you can see the live playout URL. By clicking on it, you can also see a code snippet which is all you need to embed the H5Live Player with your stream into your web page. To get more informations see our documentation.

If your organisation has enabled our "secure" feature you will be able to click on the live playout URL without having to create a new token. This is going to happen in the background. The token will be valid for an hour. If you want to create a customized token, you can do that by clicking on the "Create Secure Token" Button next to the Header. There you can set up an expiration date and specific options like the IP or referer and a single tag.

After creating it, you will see a new playout URL you can share. Please copy the URL before refreshing or closing the window. After doing that you can not access to this specific token again and will have to create a new one.

3. Stream Overview This section lists all created stream. If you created a stream without transcoding, there will be only one. If not, there will be up to three. By clicking on the URL you can see the whole stream overview including several other informations.

Stream Overview

The stream overview shows all informations the stream is providing, including the stream info (state, streamid, created at, stream tags, timecode, transcoding, push url), the ingest informations (RTMP streamname, RTMP url) and the playout informations (H5Live (Ultra-low latency), H5Live config object, RTMP Playout, HLS Playout). You can copy properties to the clipboard by clicking on the copy button on the right.

You are able to update the stream tags, after creating a stream. To do that, you need to click on the button on the top called "Update tags".

After clicking on "update" the tags you added will be visibile in the overview and the tags you removed will be deleted.

By clicking on the "Delete stream" button you will be asked if you are sure about that. After confirming, you will be redirected to the stream list.

If your organisation has enabled our "secure" feature, your are able to create a customized secure token aswell. If you want to create one, you can do that by clicking on the "Create Secure Token" button. On this way you can set up an expiration date and specific options like the IP or referer and a single tag for the stream.

All Streams

The stream list shows all streams of your organisation. By clicking on one stream, you will be able to see the stream overview. The pagination on the bottom gives you the oportunity to browse through your streams.

Streams that are live have an "Open Playout" Button at the end of the table row. By clicking on it, the playout will be opened in a new tab. Otherwise you will be redirected to the stream overview.

You can filter them by clicking on the "Search" Button and search for stream tags, specific states, such as created, live, ended, deleted and specific start and end dates.

Metrics

By clicking on the menu item "Metrics" you will be able to choose between two buttons called "Login" and "Learn more". By clicking on the first button the nanoStream Analytics tool will be opened in another tab, while clicking on second button opens the nanocosmos blog.

Organisation

This page gives you an overview about your organisation, informations depending on that and your enabled features.

The features are visible on the top of this page. If they are orange, your organisation enables them. If they are grey it does not and you need to contact the sales team, if you would like to change that.

Underneath that you can see your organisation name and its hash. The Organisation hash is the part of every stream name you create.

By clicking on the dropdown item under the title "Keys" you will be able to see your API key. Please keep it private. "All user" gives you an overview about the user your organisation has. They can be sorted (asc/desc) by the date they are created at or by emails.

Below that you can see "All tags". You have the oportunity to create a new one or scroll through existing ones.

Create Secure Token

If your organisation enables our feature "secure" you will be able to see this menu item. You can create a custom token for a specific stream or the whole organisation.

Thank you for being our valued partner and we appreciate your feedback on how we can improve and optimize your streaming workflow.

Your nanocosmos-Team.
