I’ve had a Drift Ghost X since December 2020, it’s sport camera that i place on my helmet and also on my PEV etc when i ride outside just to have something recording if anything happens.

I always wanted to use the live stream feature of the Drift cam but it only streamed on their own platform. Recently, i came across a config file that if you fill it properly with data it will stream directly to any RTMP stream (!!!) So I’ve tried it but couldn’t just make it work.

It’s a simple thing but didn’t think about it at start. So by examining the **fmcam.conf **file :

router_ssid=YOUR WLAN_NAME
router_password=WLAN_PASSWORD
stream_resolution=720P
stream_gop=30
stream_bitrate=4000000
stream_framerate=30
stream_audio=1
rtmp_url=rtmp://YOUR_RTMP_LINK
rtmp_record_to_sd=0
rtmp_2nd_stream=0
rtmp_cbr=0

router_password=WLAN_PASSWORD stream_resolution=720P stream_gop=30 stream_bitrate=4000000 stream_framerate=30 stream_audio=1 rtmp_url=rtmp://YOUR_RTMP_LINK rtmp_record_to_sd=0 rtmp_2nd_stream=0 rtmp_cbr=0

I just copied facebook’s base url and after that i inserted a slash (/) and my key as follows :

rtmp_url=rtmps://live-api-s.facebook.com:443/rtmp/FB-XXXXXXXXXXXX-0-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

And it just worked! (even with the rtmpS)

So for all of you that need the RTMP url for Facebook and or maybe other platforms that share the stream URL and the stream key separately, just add the key in the end 😅😁

When i personally need to change the information of the config file, i don’t use a computer, instead i attach the microSD card on a microSD-to-Type-C adaptor and edit the file directly to my phone.

It’s easy that way to switch rtmp stream url for another platform or even wifi information. 😎

P.S. If you place this file in the camera you cannot record as it was, it’s only for live streaming to the rtmp url, so if you need your camera functionality back, just rename it to fmcam.conf.bak and boot it up! 😉
