Re-streaming an RTSP stream through Wowza Pro (RTSP/RTP)

Follow the setup steps in the first post of this thread:

Try setting up a lower bit rate profile in Axis named “lowbr” Then use url like this:

rtsp://axisCamIP:554/axis-media/media.amp?videocodec=h264&streamprofile=lowbr

Richard

You have the interleaved property commented out. Change this:

To this:

forceInterleaved

true

Boolean

Richard

Sure, send link to support@wowza.com

Did you restart Wowza after change? (it’s not always necessary with Application.xml change but it can’t hurt)

Richard

You can setup different profiles with different bit rates and other options. You do that in the camera’s interface, and the url will look like this:

rtsp://[axis-cam-ip]:554/axis-media/media.amp?videocodec=h264&streamprofile=profile1

rtsp://[axis-cam-ip]:554/axis-media/media.amp?videocodec=h264&streamprofile=profile2

Richard

You can use StreamNameAlias to hide the URL:

For recording, you can use “rtp-live-record” stream type. Or, better, use MediaCasterStreamManager, which is good for stopping and starting streams, and you can start recording this way too, choose “rtp-record” from the drop-down when you start a stream:

You can pass username and password to the encoder in the rtsp url, like this:

rtsp://username:password@[axis-cam-ip]:554/axis-media/media.amp?videocodec=h264&streamprofile=profile2

Richard

Try it without .flv extension in Flowplayer. JW player strips that so it is not causing a problem, but Flowplayer might not do that:

url: ‘rtsp://[ip-address]:554/axis-media/media.amp’,

Richard

You need Wowza Server 2 Advanced to do it:

And this is the guide:

I suggest you start over to make a UDP application instead of re-winding from where you got to.

Richard

If you turn on DEBUG logging in /conf/log4j.properties, change “INFO” in the first line to “DEBUG”, you will be able to see the full sdp file in the log, to have a closer look.

Which camera is it?

Richard

According the q1755 user guide, there is a checkbox to enable audio in the camera web interface:

Richard

Check the stream profile, make sure the audio is supported format. And make sure sound is not muted in the player.

Richard

I’m not sure. I’ve got m1011, which doesn’t have any audio.

Richard

I would try it with the Wowza (home pc) as an Origin server, and the Wowza (work pc) as an Edge server in an Origin/Edge configuration.

See the “Live Stream Repeater (Multiple Server Live Streaming)” section of the User Guide.

Richard

From what I understand, I think Darwin server will work, but I don’t think Windows Media Server will work

Richard

There is a StreamType for that: “liverepeater-edge-origin”

Encoder > liverepeater-origin > liverepeater-edge-origin > liverepeater-edge > client

Richard

Cool. Me too.

Richard

You can do that with /conf/StartUpStreams.xml:

Or here is a module to do it:

You have covered just about everything I would have thought of. I assume you are on the latest patch and have tuned the server?

Richard

What version of Jave are you using? Check with the command:

java -version
