Set up a stream using RTMP or RTMPS push

Real Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP) is this the most common way to stream to a CDN, including both
Facebook Live and YouTube.

Use Real Time Messaging Protocol Secure (RTMPS) to encrypt content before it's streamed over a TLS/SSL
connection for secure live streaming. When enabled, Pearl Mini will always attempt to validate the digital
certificate it receives from the CDN to establish a secure RTMPS connection. The connection will fail if Pearl
Mini can't find the CA certificate of your CDN in it's list of certificates.

Pearl Mini has the CA certificates for many of the major CDNs already installed. For RTMPS streaming to work
for your particular CDN, or if you're using a proprietary RTMPS server, ensure that your streaming server's CA
certificate is uploaded to Pearl Mini, see

Manage CA and self-signed certificates
