Similar to the currently available destinations to stream to (Twitch, Mixer etc). The custom RTMP would allow for users to select their choice of server to stream to. XSplit Gamecaster 4.0.19102401 does not have this functionality as yet and XSplit Broadcaster has had this functionality (https://www.xsplit.com/broadcaster/manual/broadcast/custom-rtmp)

Jon Admin@Rick - You can choose your ingest server by going to Settings > Streaming > Custom. As for Custom RTMP, we made the conscious decision at launch not to initially support it due to all number of reasons. We are still considering how and when we will integrate this feature.

Michael"You can choose your ingest server by going to Settings > Streaming > Custom." - Completely irrelevant. He specifies the dropdown menu being only a couple of options without allowing for custom RTMP, you did answer eventually but that first bit is pointless.

Jon Admin@Michael - Thanks for your comment, Michael! To clarify, "choice of server" could pertain to either the choice of ingest server or the choice of output service, something which custom RTMP would resolve in both scenarios. I apologise if you considered this clarification as pointless. We are still exploring custom RTMP as an output choice and should have further updates within the next few weeks.

Ellwood BartlettI just made this same suggestion. :) I asked about it today and was told I had to use the legacy version for this option. I really like beta and don't want to go back to legacy.

Aukave MergedThis would allow people to use ?bandwidthtest=true to test their stream health and such without actually going live.

RickHi Jon,
Yes, I made a connection to Broadcaster given it has existed in a separate product and had drawn parallels to Gamecaster given to me it would have seemed intuitive to have it initially included.. For my use case, it would be bandwidth testing, using a provider other than the 4 providers listed currently (such as a local relay for example) or by streaming it within my own local network.
I look forward to having this option/functionality included in the future.
