How are you using the CDN?

Hi,

"re-streaming an IP camera that supports H.264 video and AAC or MP3 audio"

We use Grandstream cameras that supports H264 but uses G711 as the audio codec. Can we still restream the audio and video from this camera if we use the transcoder add-on? Do we have to use any special settings in the application.xml for this?

[rrlanham]

Yes, Wowza Transcoder supports G711 audio for decode. It will be transcoded to AAC. If your clients are recent versions of Flash only, G711 might work without transcoding.

recently installed Wowza, I did not settings of applications, only the examples installed. Only if I set up a flash player for shoutcast relaying using the following addresses:
rtmp :/ / radioexemplo.com.br: 1835/shoutcast
http://radioexemplo.com.br:8005

usually it transmits, such as blocking it and accept only the applications I create.

thank you

Use a text file in the content folder with a .stream extension. Put the rtsp url in that file on one line, then use the file name as stream name. Use it in StreamManager to start the stream and in your players to play the live stream. Make sure that file is plain text and that it has a .stream extension not a .txt extension.

Just installed ami-8c1dc6e5 (64 bit, byol)

No examples folder was included.

Made this part confusing:

Playback


To play using Adobe Flash player (RTMP)

Double-click [install-dir]/examples/LiveVideoStreaming/client/live.html, enter the information below and click the Play button.

Double-click? I guess that was a windows-specific tip but just confused me more.

Examples are not included in EC2 because you need to run them from either a web server or your local file system. Install a copy of Wowza using a Developer license on your local computer to get them

Hi,

How can we secure the stream from an IP camera to a Wowza server?

Ex: if someone knows the publish url, he can publish a stream to Wowza server.

Thanks,
