Problems, to get external an external RTSP source working.

Wowza Streaming Engine
#1

Hello *,

I’ve problems to get an external RTSP Source working.

  • I can’t see a video signal in Flash.

  • The RTSP-Control seems to work, if I look to wireshark.

  • I can see incoming RTP-Packets in wireshark.

  • I can’t get the stream out of the server. (tried rtsp, http, rtmp, …)

  • I used the live-Stream-example app, and changed the config a bit: like logging, Ports for firewalls, timeouts. Details, See Application.xml

  • The same Configuration is working with another video Source (axis-Video encoder)

  • The Server sends a teardown after the Stream duration has MediaCaster/Properties/Property/streamTimeout is reached.

(If I set this pram to 0, I can see incoming RTP-Packets a long time.

  • The external Source is working without Wowza in the VLC player.

  • It is not possible, to make this VideoSouce available over the Internet.

Has anybody an Idea, what else I should try now?

Thanks for any helping answer…

Try to access the external RTSP Source/LogFile:

It looks okay from what you show. Try adding forceInterleaved Property to the Application.xml /MediaCasters Properties list

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

If that doesn’t help, can you put the encoderr and stream on a public ip and send url to support@wowza.com

Include the exact make/model of the encoder or camera and any info you have

Let us know when you can.

Hi Richard!

Thanks for the fast answer.

I tried TCP-Interleaved allready, does not work. (Also in the VLC-Player). I’ll try to get a public test source (may be I’ll can solve it with a Packet capture/replay tool.)

Hi Richard!

I got some more Informations:

Behind the source is a Siqura C-60 Video Encoder. and a VideoProxy Server.

Getting a Testsource is not so easy…maybe I can get such an device…
