 # NGINX-RTMP-BACKUP
 This is a set of shell scripts that allows you to implement elementary backups for your RTMP streams.
 ## Prerequisites
-You have to have [avconv](https://libav.org/avconv.html) (or [ffmpeg](https://www.ffmpeg.org/)) and [nginx](https://nginx.ru/en/) with [nginx-rtmp-module](https://github.com/arut/nginx-rtmp-module) installed on your machine.

 All logs are stored at `/var/log/nginx-rtmp/backup`.
-Logs for avconv/ffmpeg are stored under the names `main_$streamname.log` and `backup_$streamname.log`, where `$streamname` is the RTMP key you send your stream to.
