Hi,is it possible to live stream cameras on Milestone to platforms such as YouTube?Thanks

This is not possible directly.

Using the MIP SDK you could develop an application or service to retrieve video and change the video to send to YouTube, but I have knowledge if anybody tried this.

According to this page YouTube uses RTMP for streaming protocol.

It could use H.264 as video encoding, so it is possible for a RTSP stream from the ONVIF Bridge to be re-packed in order to be YouTube friendly. This would have to happen trough third party software.

I have no indication whether any partner or user of Milestone’s have done this and made it work.

I am hoping somebody tried this and can share their experience here..

Do you know an SDK sample where to start with?

I am guessing you would use RawLiveSource class to get the raw video, how to treat it after that I have no idea or knowledge. We have no sample in the MIP SDK that comes close. Closest would be the MediaLiveViewer sample that uses JPEGLiveSource to get live video..

(I am still hoping somebody has tried and will share the experience here.)

what about a rtsp stream to VLC and then to youtube? is there a documentation about that?

No, unfortunately not.

NOTE that the Milestone add-on product Onvif Bridge can stream RTSP to VLC, and the documentation tells you how to do this.

so is it possible or not ? can you post the link to the documentation? thanks
