Issues with RTSP Re-Streaming

**wachusett** · 02-22-2012, 09:57 AM

I'm evaluating Wowza for use re-streaming an H.264 RTSP stream from an Acti KCM-5211E IP camera for display on our website. I have the camera configured and am able to view the stream using VLC. It reports the codec information as follows:

Type: Video
Codec: H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10) (h264)
Resolution: 640x480
Frame rate: 60.008000
Decoded format: Planar 4:2:0 YUV full scale

I've followed the tutorial here and setup an Application.xml that looks like this:

Code:

<Root>
	<Application>

And a camera.stream file that looks like this:

Code:

rtsp://192.168.100.223:7070

I then visit the example LiveVideoStream in the install, type in:

Server: rtmp://localhost/live
Stream: camera.stream

And I get nothing. The video area remains white. I get the following output in the server console:

Am I doing something wrong? Is there something I can do to get better debug information?

I'm having the exact same problem with. Did you solved it?

**joexromero** · 03-26-2012, 04:23 PM

Try

Code:

					<Property>
					  <Name>rtspFilterUnknownTracks</Name>
						<Value>true</Value>
						<Type>Boolean</Type>
					</Property>

under MediaCaster->Properties in your Application.xml

Test:

Code:

<Property>
	<Name>rtspStreamAudioTrack</Name>
	<Value>false</Value>
	<Type>Boolean</Type>
</Property>

Also look at http://www.wowza.com/forums/content.php?39

Try playing the rtsp stream from Wowza in VLC - might be that the H264 is incompatible with Flash.

Also - if you are viewing on a Mac make sure it's not a problem with the Flash plugin.

gustavo,

Your camera is not connecting to Wowza for some reason. What is the camera Manufacturer/Model? What is the camera encoding? What is the output of Tools->Codec Information when you play the stream in VLC? And, what is the URL you use to connect?

joexromero,

Try playing the rtsp stream from Wowza in VLC - might be that the H264 is incompatible with Flash.

already did... The VLC returns me an error saying that was unable to play the stream.

Hi randall,

What is the camera Manufacturer/Model? Pelco / Spectra IV HD or Spectra V. What is the camera encoding? h264. What is the output of Tools->Codec Information when you play the stream in VLC? Codec: H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part10) (h264), resolution 640x352, 20fps. what is the URL you use to connect? rtsp://172.20.0.38/stream2.

by the way thanks for your help guys .

**randall** · 03-27-2012, 11:44 PM

"unable to play the stream" sounds like a connection or configuration issue. I'd be surprised if VLC cannot play the stream. You also might try "ffmpeg -i [streamname]" to get some info.

You're going to have to check with the support resources for the device; docs, forums, support, etc. See if you can figure out the proper streamname and configuration to play in VLC. Find out exactly what streamtypes and codecs it supports.

I looked at the specs for the camera and didn't see anything about audio codec. Sometimes with H.264 IP Cameras, the audio codec is not supported, which can be worked around by turning off audio on the camera.

randall,
The VLC plays the rtsp url from camera normally.

What i can't play is rtsp://localhost:1935/live/camera.stream

------- edit

I'm going to set a camera on a public ip address so that you can take a look.
should i send it to support@wowza.com?!

**daren_j** · 03-28-2012, 08:05 PM

Yes, if you haven't already, please send the the camera's public url to support@wowza.com.
Reference this thread and attach zipped [install-dir]/conf/ and logs/ folders to the same email.
