How to Stream from Streamable to a Local OBS Studio

Use the new SRT Pulldown destination to pull your Streamable feed into a local OBS Studio install via a Media Source.

Why pull your Streamable feed into a local OBS?

Streamable's cloud-hosted OBS handles your ingest and streaming, but sometimes you want the live feed back on your own machine — to record a local high-bitrate copy, mix in scenes from local hardware (capture cards, NDI, local apps), run plugins that aren't installed in the cloud OBS, or feed the stream into editing or VFX software running locally.

The new SRT Pulldown destination makes this easy: Streamable exposes a per-stream SRT URL that any client (including a local OBS Media Source) can pull from. No port forwarding or extra infrastructure required.

Step 1:Open the Destinations page in Streamable

Navigate to https://streamable.run/destinations.

Streamable Dashboard Destinations page — Open the Destinations page in Streamable.

Step 2:Add an SRT Pulldown destination

Click "Add Destination" and select "SRT Pulldown" as the type.

Give it a name (for example, "Local OBS") and click Create.

Add Destination modal with SRT Pulldown selected — Pick SRT Pulldown in the Add Destination modal and give it a name.

Step 3:Copy the SRT pull URL

After creating the destination, your unique SRT pull URL will be shown in the destinations list.

It will look something like: srt://video.streamable.run:9002?mode=caller&streamid=<your-stream-id>&latency=1000000

Click the copy icon next to the URL to copy it to your clipboard.

Step 4:Start your stream on Streamable

Back in the Dashboard, press "Start Stream" so the SRT Pulldown destination begins broadcasting.

You will not see any video locally until OBS connects to the URL in the next steps.

Step 5:Add a Media Source in your local OBS

Open OBS Studio on your computer.

In the Sources panel, click the "+" button and choose "Media Source".

Name it something like "Streamable Pull" and click OK to open the properties dialog.

OBS Sources panel with Media Source being added — Add a new Media Source to your local OBS scene.

Step 6:Configure the Media Source to pull from Streamable

In the Media Source properties dialog, uncheck "Local File".

Paste your SRT URL into the "Input" field.

Enter "mpegts" into the "Input Format" field.

Click OK to save.

OBS Media Source properties with Local File unchecked, SRT URL pasted into Input, and mpegts entered as the Input Format — Uncheck "Local File", paste the SRT URL into Input, and set Input Format to mpegts.

Leaving Input Format blank will cause OBS to fail to connect — mpegts is required for SRT.

Step 7:You're live in your local OBS!

Your Streamable feed should now appear in the Media Source preview.

You can record it locally, route it into another scene, or feed it into other tools running on your machine.
