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

Vinicius_Hacebe · September 9, 2020, 8:49pm

Do I have to install a RTSP Broadcaster software or Wowza just do that?

I need to Re-stream a smil playlist to Iphone and other mobile devices.

Thanks

Hi guys…

I have Multiple IP Cameras and wants to build a server side module to get the streams from multiple IP cameras using RTSP and publish it on different rtmp URLs so that multiple clients can connect to it…

I could not find rtplive server programming example? are there any example of RTSP to RTMP server side module?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Charlie…

Thanks…

I was able to use it for one camera… what i was looking for is some kind of server side module example… so that i can create my on module for rtsp to rtmp…

Thanks…

I need help combining an audio and video stream from my restreamed RTSP ip camera. Yeah yeah I know Wowza doesn’t support this, but it’s such a common problem, there must be a solution!

I have an IP camera without audio (format is not important, I’m re-encoding with VLC). I would like to combine a live audio source from my sound card and stream it with the video to the RTPLive application (for example). I can stream either the video or the audio, both work perfectly, just not together (the vlc.sdp file gets overwritten and the stream gets switched, on the fly, to whatever instance of VLC I start last, without even rebuffering! IMPRESSIVE!).

Here is what I run for VLC to get the video feed:

vlc -vvv rtsp://192.168.0.61:554 --noaudio --sout “#transcode{venc=x264{keyint=75,profile=baseline,level=3.0,nocabac,qpmax=36,qpmin=10,me=hex,merange=24,subme=9,qcomp=0.6},vcodec=x264,vb=500,scale=.5,fps=25,acodec=none}:duplicate{dst=rtp{dst=127.0.0.1,port-video=10000,sdp=file://c:/progra~1/wowzam~1/wowzam~1.3/content/vlc.sdp}}”

Works amazing! Flawlessly fluid progressive scan (non-interlaced) video, no compression artificats, great resolution (downscaled from 1280x960!!), just amazing!

To get audio I can run:

vlc dshow:// :dshow-vdev=none :dshow-adev=“SoundMAX HD Audio” --sout=#transcode{acodec=mp4a,ab=192,channels=1,samplerate=48000}:rtp{ddst=127.0.0.1,port-audio=10002,sdp=file://c:/progra~1/wowzam~1/wowzam~1.3/content/vlc.sdp}

Both work great, just not together. Is there nothing I can do to fudge the vlc.sdp file to point at both instances to get the audio and video streams? If they are on seperate ports 10000 and 10002 why not?! I can post the contents of each SDP file if that would help. I manually merged them with notepad, nothing played, just buffered forever.

Audio video sync is not important!

I’m cross posting this question in some VLC help forums… If I could just combine my RTSP input and a dshow input together in VLC, my problem would be solved Works fine with two dshow inputs (i.e. usb webcam and sound card), just not with RTSP. My attempts at using RTSP directshow filters have failed, even though this camera uses a super simple RTSP string (my guess is it’s super funky RTP packetization).

Take a look at :input-slave=dshow://… or a variation of that option.

Thanks! I might give er a try if my current solution doesn’t work out… in the mean time, I GOT WOWZA TO MERGE STREAMS! SWEEEEET!

My vlc.sdp file:

o=- 0 0 IN IP4 127.0.0.1

t=0 0

s=Unnamed

a=tool:vlc 1.0.5

c=IN IP4 127.0.0.1

m=video 10000 RTP/AVP 96

b=AS:500

a=rtpmap:96 H264/90000

a=fmtp:96 packetization-mode=1;profile-level-id=42c01e;sprop-parameter-sets=Z0LAHpZiAUB7YCIAAAMAAgAAAwBkHixckA==,aM4yyA==;

m=audio 10002 RTP/AVP 96

b=AS:192

a=rtpmap:96 mpeg4-generic/44100

a=fmtp:96 streamtype=5; profile-level-id=15; mode=AAC-hbr; config=1208; SizeLength=13; IndexLength=3; IndexDeltaLength=3; Profile=1;

My two instances of VLC:

audio…

vlc dshow:// :dshow-vdev=none :start-time=6 :dshow-adev=“SoundMAX HD Audio” --audio-desync=-1277 --sout=#transcode{acodec=mp4a,ab=192,channels=1,samplerate=44100}:rtp{dst=127.0.0.1,port-audio=10002}

video…

vlc -vvv rtsp://192.168.0.61:554 --noaudio --sout “#transcode{venc=x264{keyint=75,profile=baseline,level=3.0,nocabac,qpmax=36,qpmin=10,me=hex,merange=24,subme=9,qcomp=0.6},vcodec=x264,vb=500,scale=.5,fps=25,acodec=none}:duplicate{dst=rtp{dst=127.0.0.1,port-video=10000}}”

Works absolutely amazing. Exactly what I wanted I had to set the a/v sync manually, and after messing around I got it close to perfect at -1.227 seconds. I’ll download some a/v sync test videos and fine tune her when I’m more awake.

I purposly lagged the encoding machine (OCCT) till it dropped some serious frames and went all messy, THE AUDIO STAYED IN SYNC PERFECT! I dunno how, but it’s flawless. I live streamed for about 40 mins, perfect beginning to end, unplugged and re-plugged network cable to the ip cam, restarted the VLC sessions, crashed Wowza and restarted, sync sync sync

Wowza and VLC, you guys rock!!

Will post a test video as soon as I figure out how to make Wowza record the stream! (into perfectly split 10 minute chunks if possible)… for another night…

I’m using the “client/live.html” file and JW Player for testing. I used “rtmp://209.236../rtplive" as Server and "rtsp://*****.dyndns.org:554/” as Stream. I get this messages again and again:

I think you are using incorrect values for the “stream”, my “stream” just says vlc.sdp Are you using the “rtp-live” client playerdemo included with Wowza? When I use it on my wowza this is what it says:

Notice the “rtplive/definst/vlc.sdp” part, it should point to an sdp file, not to a url/port (that info should be INSIDE the sdp file)…

And I also don’t think your sdp file should say 10.0.0.50 unless Wowza is on the same internal network as your video server?! If Wowza IS on the same internal network as your video server, use wowza’s ip address (10.0.0.x) for testing (using a computer on the same internal network as Wowza and your video server), instead of your dyndns name (to rule out any router port forwarding/firewall issues, etc.).

Remember, I know nothing.

Hello Richard, i been reading your thread and i would like to ask a question.

while testing your video streaming can you tell me:

how much fps you get for a video stream,
the resolution size,
dos it take time to connect for the videos stream session?

regards

jan

francesco_triolo · September 9, 2020, 8:50pm

peter_ross · September 9, 2020, 8:50pm

Ups, í wondered why in the live.html there was no video, it only starts my stream.

Ok i figured out to receive the WOWZA stream in this form:

rtsp://localhost:1935/rtplive/mystream

When i start this with VLC Player, it requires a username and password, how can i disable or set this??

i only wanted to test the stream!

hamid_abbas · September 9, 2020, 8:51pm

hello

I have open the 552 port

On VLC The stream work with direct link :

localy rtsp://ip local:552/MediaInput/h264 ok

exteriorly rtsp://ipfixe:552/MediaInput/h264 ok with a latency but it work

With wowza application rtplive and a flash example player live :

localy It work fine

exteriorly it doesn work

the console repeat with incrementation :

Paul_Lopes · September 9, 2020, 8:51pm

Hi,

I have a WMS re-streaming a VLC with RTSP, and the WMS is request SETUP of handshake process to VLC in this form:

...
2010-08-30	21:04:49	GMT-03:00	comment	server	DEBUG	200	-	*** RTSPMessageSend ***
SETUP rtsp://127.0.0.1:554/teste/trackID=0 RTSP/1.0
Transport: RTP/AVP/TCP;unicast;interleaved=0-1
CSeq: 2
...

And the VLC response:

2010-08-30	21:04:49	GMT-03:00	comment	server	DEBUG	200	-	  uri: RTSP/1.0 461 Unsupported transport

And the stream no function

I see WMS functions normally in another server with: WMS + VLC RTSP with no problems, and I note a diference beetwen the SETUP command:

SETUP rtsp://127.0.0.1:554/teste/trackID=0 RTSP/1.0
Transport: RTP/AVP/UDP;unicast;..
CSeq: 2

The protocol used to SETUP the medis in this server is UDP, not RTP interleaved in TCP. Why i can configure this (or change TCP to UDP)?

Paul_Lopes · September 9, 2020, 8:51pm

Ohh!

(forceInterleaved = false) == NO FORCE INTERLEAVED!!! :D:D:D

Thanks man! I stay many hours try discovery this problem.

Nuha_Alkhafaje · September 9, 2020, 8:52pm

Hi charlie,

I was hoping you can help me w/something; I’m remotely logging onto a linux machine and starting up vlc through a terminal in the cmd line [typed “vlc”] and on the [windows machine] desktop starting the local vlc. I have an axis 207mw cam. I can stream live video from the cam from the linux machine through vlc & viewing it on the local vlc. Now on the remote vlc, I use: http://192.168.1.233/axis-cgi/mjpg/v…esolution=2CIF - network protocol window under Media --> Streaming --> Network tab. This cmd [http://192.168.1.233/axis-cgi/mjpg/v…solution=2CIF] now becomes the source w/http as the type. The destination is UDP & to be Displayed locally w/transcoding enabled w/the profile: Video - MPEG-2 + MPGA (TS). All output is now to be a transcoded stream delivered via UDP to the machine address 192.168.1.241 [the local windows machine that vlc will be running] & the port 1234. So after I click “Stream,” I’m prompted for the User name & Password & once I input that, the cam starts to stream live. On the other vlc [on the desktop], I click Media–>Open Network Stream–> and enter the Network Protocol : udp://@:1234, & click “play.” Now the video is being streamed from 1 machine to another, but I want to make it so that I don’t need to bring up vlc on the remote machine, but instead use the vlc-generated stream output string [under the “options” button “Generated stream output string” ] :sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp2v,vb=800,scale=1,acodec =mpga,ab=128,channels=2,samplerate=44100}:duplicat e{dst=std{access=udp,mux=ts,dst=192.168.1.241:1234 },dst=display} & like type that into a vi text editor & executing the file instead, so the only thing I’d see the the vlc live stream on the desktop. Is such a thing possible? Cause I know you can’t save settings on vlc either…what to do?

Thanks a bunch in advance

Steve_McFarlin · September 9, 2020, 8:52pm

For some reason I am not seeing them. I will take a closer look. I mainly want the RR reports so I can control encoding rates based on the loss fraction. Interarrival jitter would be nice to have.

Is it possible to create an APP packet in the Wowza API and send out to the encoder RTCP connection?

Steve_McFarlin · September 9, 2020, 8:52pm

Thanks. I am not seeing any packets over the RTCP channel. I will debug through my RTP library. More then likely an issue there.

Steve_McFarlin · September 9, 2020, 8:52pm

Are there any plans to add statistical information in the RR packets? The current packets do not appear to be RTCP compound packets.

Vivek_Dodeja · September 9, 2020, 8:52pm

Some warning is coming and it is trying to connent to encoder again and again.

I can see on encoder new request coming again and again

sorry guys for that probably dump question, but how do i

“double click [install-dir]/examples/LiveVideoStreaming/client/live.html enter the following information and click the Play button” on a remote linux server withour any graphical interface…

thaaanks!

Christian_Schulze · September 9, 2020, 8:53pm

thx rrlanham! that worked…

No I’m facing two different problems. I’m using two cameras which are connected to the internet through a Geovision video server. Unfortunately the video server provides only a rtsp signal for direct streaming. I didn’t find another way to get the video stream without using any Active X elements. My goal is to embed both streams into a website via flash, e.g. JW Player or Flow Player.

I found this solution (RTSP -> RTMP restreaming) reasonable so I’ve set up Wowza and a rtmp stream like it’s described in the first post of this thread.

The Wowza starts up fine… I used in combination with the “client/live.html” the following values:

Server: rtmp://209.236.XX.XXX/rtplive [WOWZA SERVER]
Stream: rtsp://admin:password@XXXXXXXX.dyndns.org:8554/CH001.sdp [WEBCAM VIDEO SERVER]

After that, I’m getting the following response:

After reading some other threads I guess Wowza has a problem with the codec of this camera. My second camera (CH002.sdp) is configured with different settings and anyhow I don’t get these errors:

To me everything looks fine, BUT I have no video in “client/live.html” and after trying to connect with JW Player, I get the following:

INFO application app-start _definst_ rtplive/_definst_
INFO session connect-pending 77.188.XX.XX -

WARN server comment - RTPSessionDescriptionDataProviderBasic.getStreamInfo: SDP file missing: /usr/local/WowzaMediaServer/content/rtplive

My JW Player is embeded like this:

<div id='container'>The player will be placed here</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
  var flashvars = {
    file:'rtplive',
    streamer:'rtmp://209.236.XX.XXX/rtplive'
  };
  swfobject.embedSWF('/jwplayer/player.swf','container','480','270','9.0.115','false', flashvars,
   {allowfullscreen:'true',allowscriptaccess:'always'},
   {id:'jwplayer',name:'jwplayer'}
  );
</script>

No my question. What am I doing wrong? Where is my mistake? I think I can reconfigure the first webcam (CH001.sdp) to get rid of the errors in the first place, but I don’t know how to get a video signal. Not on “client/live.html” and not with JW Player.

Is there another possibility to restream the RTSP stream and maybe convert it into something useful, like flv or swf, which is handable with something like JW Player?

Thanks for your help!

Best,

dotacy

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.

Thanks again! The Alias worked. I don’t get any errors anymore, but I still don’t get a video signal.

VLC says MPEG-4 (mp4v)… Is that a problem?
