Can I stream MMS to wowza?

I have mms stream that I want to re-stream it to wowza, and then stream rtmp out from Wowza server, is that possible? I want to convert mms stream in something that wowza can restream again to nokia mobiles (RTSP or RTMP).

Thank you

No, sorry, mms stream is not directly support. You have to transcode before.

No, ASF is not supported.

For real-time transcoding, here are 3 options:

The three choices I know of for doing this in real-time are:

• VLC, an open source tool:

• MComms TV, a commercial stream-to-stream transcoding solution

• Ripcode, a commercial hardware sol ution with DSPs powering the transcoding

Take a look at this article:

Make sure you skip port assignment between video and audio. If the video is port 10000, make the audio port 10002

how can I transcode it? I managed to make the stream in http but the output is ASF fromat can Wowza play it?

Hello. I’m using VLC this way:

vlc -vvv mms://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:port --sout “#transcode{venc=x264{keyint=60,profile=baseline,level=3.0,nocabac},vcodec=x264,vb=150,scale=0.5,acodec=mp4a,ab=96,channels=2,samplerate=48000}:rtp{dst=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx,port=10000,mux=ts}”

But it doesn’t work.

If I “mms://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:port” replace “d:\test.avi”, then no problems getting the stream to the server Wowza.

Maybe you had to deal with it. How to publish a mms stream to wowza.

Thank you.

Sorry. In the mpegts.stream was the wrong port. Everything works!

Hello OliXCZ,

It looks like Andrew was able to make it work using MPEG-TS. Use his command, and follow the MPEG-TS tutorial: https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-publish-and-play-a-live-stream-mpeg-ts-based-encoder

Hi, I’m trying to do exactly the same thing, but with no success. I think the command is wrong:

vlc -vvv mms://89.185.240.12/zoobrno --sout “#transcode{venc=x264{keyint=60,profile=baseline,level=3.0,nocabac},vcodec=x264,vb=150,scale=0.5,acodec=mp4a,ab=96,channels=2,samplerate=48000}:rtp{dst=89.185.240.94/live/test.sdp,port=10000,mux=ts}”

Or maybe some Wowza config issue? Eg. I don’t have the port 10000 specified anywhere in the config… Please help:-)

It works, thanks!

Ok, so now it is running, but this way I can stream only one video per port. Would it be somehow possible to stream multiple videos to one port?

Sorry, this is maybe a newb question…

Thanks. I’m now sharing the port with two streams, but they are mixed together. There must be some way to separate them (either on server or client side)…

Richard, I’ve tried it, but I’m unable to play the stream with the audio and video ports separated: Using VLC with Wowza Pro (native RTP)
