Converting RTP/RTSP stream to HTTP stream

[Pavel_J]

In my setup I have a live RTP stream from a PC (actually a camera connected to the PC) to a server. I want to run WMS on this server and convert the RTP stream into a stream that can be played in broser-based Flash plugins. I will appreciate it if someone can point me to the right configurations/setup that is required.

I have tried following the instructions on https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-set-up-live-streaming-using-an-rtmp-based-encoder but that does not help since I am unable to specify the URL source for the RTP stream. I have tried looking at other documents as well but cannot seem to find the right setup.

Thanks in advance!

This is the correct tutorial:

The warning indicate that we do not support the stream format. So it most likely is not compatible with wowza.

Thank you for the pointer.

I followed the instructions in the tutorial for Live Streaming for all player technologies but am facing some issues (details below). The RTSP stream from the camera is getting to the server running Wowza Media server - I verified this using VLC and am using the same URL in Wowza.

When using the Adobe Flash player (San Jose/Flash HTTP) it shows “Error #2048”. The error file has no entries and the log file shows status 200.

(The last log entry in access is:

2011-03-07 20:40:32 PST comment server INFO 200 - Wowza Media Server is started! - - - 53.14 - )

When I use the Adobe Falsh player (RTMP) I see the error “Failed to play camera.stream; stream not found” on the webpage where as the error log has no entires.

(The last entry in the access log file is:

2011-03-07 20:51:47 PST create stream INFO 200 - - defaultVHost live definst 0.01 [any] 1935 rtmp://10.23.16.41/live 10.23.16.41 rtmp unknown LNX 10,1,102,65 706036380 3397 3411 1 0 0 0 - - - - - - rtmp://10.23.16.41/live rtmp://10.23.16.41/live - rtmp://10.23.16.41/live -)

A couple of time I did not see the above errors but there was no video playing and the access file had the following entries:

2011-03-07 19:49:10 PST comment server WARN 200 - RTPDePacketizerRFC3984H264.handleRTPPacket: Unsupported packet type: STAP-B - - - 674.378 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Any trouble shooting tips will be very much appreciated.
