Continuing my quest for understanding the functions of this amazing product:
Does anyone know what "Outbound Connection " does? What is it used for?
I don't stream, but I believe it is where you define the connection, username, password etc to your external streaming service.
Nope,
Streaming is addressed with differed credentials and stuff at the encoders on every corresponding core, if it has streaming enabled.
Outbound Connection is a management package feature.
Outbound connection is for the remote control software. It was added so that remote controls can work where even NAT traversal is normally difficult/impossible, like carrier class internet ala… a cellular hotspot, etc… or if you just don't have any control over port forwarding behind NAT.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NAT_traversal
This will try (every 10 seconds) to connect to a remote control that is setup in listening mode on a specific port number. This does mean that the remote control that's listening does have to have that port forwarded to it, if there is NAT.
