How to Set Up IRL Pro on Android with an SRTLA Relay (2026 Guide)

While iOS users rely heavily on Moblin, IRL Pro is the powerhouse application for Android IRL streamers. It offers native SRTLA bonding, adaptive bitrate, hardware encoding, and camera switching. This guide shows you how to connect IRL Pro to an SRTLA relay server in minutes.

Prerequisites

• ▸An Android phone running IRL Pro (available on Google Play).
• ▸At least two active network connections (e.g. cellular data SIM + mobile hotspot or second WiFi).
• ▸An active SRTLA relay endpoint URL (such as srtla://relay.perhost.app:port/streamid).
• ▸Your OBS Studio ready to receive the stream.

Step 1 — Get your SRTLA credentials

When you start with PerHost or an SRTLA relay provider, you get a dedicated srtla:// URL containing your host, port, and stream ID. Keep this private to protect your broadcast.

Step 2 — Configure Target Stream in IRL Pro

• ▸Open IRL Pro and go into Settings > Streaming.
• ▸Set the Protocol to SRT / SRTLA.
• ▸Paste your SRTLA endpoint URL into the Server URL field.
• ▸Enable Multi-network Bonding under Network Settings so Android routes traffic through all available interfaces.

Step 3 — Bitrate and Video Tuning

Set your target video bitrate between 4,000 and 6,000 kbps for 1080p30 or 1080p60 streaming. Always keep Adaptive Bitrate turned ON: this allows IRL Pro to throttle down instantly if all cell networks experience momentary packet congestion, preventing freeze frames.

Step 4 — Receive in OBS Studio

In OBS Studio, add a Media Source (uncheck 'Local File') and paste the SRT playback URL provided in your PerHost dashboard. Your camera feed will appear with sub-second latency.
