Re-streaming an RTSP stream through Wowza Pro (RTSP/RTP)

I’m not sure. I’ve got m1011, which doesn’t have any audio.

Richard

I would try it with the Wowza (home pc) as an Origin server, and the Wowza (work pc) as an Edge server in an Origin/Edge configuration.

See the “Live Stream Repeater (Multiple Server Live Streaming)” section of the User Guide.

Richard

From what I understand, I think Darwin server will work, but I don’t think Windows Media Server will work

Richard

There is a StreamType for that: “liverepeater-edge-origin”

Encoder > liverepeater-origin > liverepeater-edge-origin > liverepeater-edge > client

Richard

Cool. Me too.

Richard

You can do that with /conf/StartUpStreams.xml:

Or here is a module to do it:

You have covered just about everything I would have thought of. I assume you are on the latest patch and have tuned the server?

Richard

What version of Jave are you using? Check with the command:

java -version

Richard

This seems to be here now

Richard

Jan,

I’m not sure what you are asking and referring to.

Richard

I’m not sure. I tested here and get the same results in vlc (video and audio ok) and Flash (video ok, no audio). I do see this warning each time I play or start the stream in Flash:

RTCPHandler.convertTimeSyncTimecode: Invalid timescale value: 0

Richard

I was just reporting my findings. I re-streamed the same stream from an application here with StreamType “rtp-live”, and I had the same results that you reported, and saw that error repeatedly. I don’t know how to fix it.

Richard

Try adding forceInterleaved property to Application.xml /MediaCaster Properties list:

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

Richard

Copy all the files in that client folder to your computer and open in file explorer at location you copied to, or move them to a web server and open in a browser.

Change “localhost” in box labeled “Stream:” to the ip of your Wowza server.

Richard

You are trying to play a stream named “rtplive”, but the stream is really “rtsp://admin:password@XXXXXX.dyndns.org:8554/CH002.sdp”, which won’t work in JW player, you have to create an Alias:

Create a text file with a .stream extension in the content folder, name it ch002.stream:

/content/ch002.stream

Make this the contents of choo2.stream:

rtsp://admin:password@XXXXXX.dyndns.org:8554/CH002.sdp

Then use choo2.stream as the file Flashvar “&file=choo2.stream”

Make sure your text editor does not add a .txt extension, it has to be name ch002.stream

Richard

You can use VLC to play the RTSP stream direct, then look at Tools > Codec Info to see what the video format is. It might not be h.264.

Richard

Wowza handles rtsp streaming. Take a look at “To play using RTSP/RTP player or device” in this tutorial:

https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-re-stream-video-from-an-ip-camera-rtsp-rtp-re-streaming)

You can’t restream the smil exactly, it’s the smil items that are restreamed.

Richard

Richard

It has to be mpeg-4 part 10, or h.264.

What you have is probably mpeg-4 part 2, which is not supported in Flash and Wowza.

Richard

Try transcoding with ffmpeg or VLC, there are examples with rtsp input in both of these guides:

Richard

Does “rtsp://******.dyndns.org:554/” play directly in VLC? Can you send the real link to support@wowza.com. Include a link to this thread.
