re-streaming rtsp and origin/edge setup

Wowza Streaming Engine
#1

Hello all!

I am trying to realize the following setup:

Sony IPELA SNC-DH120 Camera

as a Webcam at a Customer

Wowza Pro 2.2.3 running in the location with the camera

Wowza Pro 2.1.2 (soon updated) running in our network center

How far I got ā€¦

I can see the stream in vlc and got a rtp-live application on the 2.2.3 running.

examples/LiveVideoStreaming/client/live.html

Server: rtmp://localhost/Leuchturm

Stream: camera.stream

works fine.

Then tried to set up an origin/edge system and followed the user guide.

When I try this:

examples/LiveVideoStreaming/client/live.html

Server: rtmp://localhost/liveedge

Stream: camera.stream

I see this errors:

INFO server comment - LiveMediaStreamHandler.connect: rtsp://192.168.0.38/media/

video1:rtmp://192.168.0.38:1935/media[video1]

Any help would be appreciated!

Before going any further, Iā€™d recommend making sure both origin and repeater are running the same version.

The logs show that Wowza cannot connect to that rtsp stream:

INFO server comment - LiveMediaStreamHandler.connect: rtsp://192.168.0.38/media/
video1:rtmp://192.168.0.38:1935/media[video1]
INFO server comment - LivePlayer.play[liveedge/_definst_/camera.stream]: Dynamic
Stream Markers are on.
WARN server comment - Failed to connect: org.apache.mina.common.RuntimeIOExcepti
on: Failed to get the session[ConnectException: Connection refused: no further i
nformation].

TCP port 554 needs to be open in this case.

And the camera is on a LAN IP, so Wowza should be on the same LAN. If not, Wowza should connect to the camera over a public IP.

Try creating a text files with .stream extension in the content folder:

/content/sony.stream

Make the contents:

rtsp://192.168.0.38/media/video1

You need to start in StreamManager if it is a origin, or if you want to stream to iOS or you if StreamType is ā€œliveā€. Start stream ā€œsony.streamā€ on live application with MediaCaster Type ā€œrtpā€

https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-use-stream-manager-in-wowza-media-server-3

Test in Wowza example player:

Server: rtmp://[wowza-address]:1935/live

Stream: sony.stream

Woo,

Before you start setting up Liverepeater (origin/edge), have you been able to re-stream from this camera yet? One thing at a time, please.

This WARNing

WARN server comment 2011-03-06 20:34:51 - - - - - 131.033 - - - - - - - - Failed to connect: org.apache.mina.common.RuntimeIOException: Failed to get the session[ConnectException: Connection refused: no further information].

ā€¦ means Wowza was not able to connect to the camera. Maybe the camera refused the connection, or there is a network problem. It is not a Wowza problem, which is just reporting that it cannot get the camera stream.

Is the camera on a public IP?

Richard

If that works, and you have application named liveedge with StreamType ā€œliverepeater-edgeā€, play in Wowza LiveVideoStreaming player:

Server: rtmp://localhost:1935/liveedge

Stream: rtmp://localhost:1935/liveorigin/definst/repeat.stream

You can make a origin.stream file that contains the above stream and play origin.stream instead.

Server: rtmp://localhost:1935/liveedge

Stream: origin.stream

Richard

#7

In that case you need a 2nd origin that you are publishing to. You have entered the liverepeater and liveorigin, you want something like:

rtmp://ip1/liveorigin|rtmp://ip2/liveorigin

And if you are using originURL you use simple stream name on the edge, same one that is being published on origin.

Server: rtmp://localhost:1935/liveedge

Stream: repeat.stream

If you are starting the origin stream on the edge in StreamManager, use MediaCaster type ā€œliverepeaterā€.

This is back to problem connecting to the camera, not a Wowza problem really. You have to figure out why you are not able to reach that camera. Network problem? Could be too many connections, IP cameras have connection limits.

Werenā€™t you always starting the origin as a liverepeater (StreamType ā€œliverepeater-originā€)

Richard

#9

Iā€™m totally lost. I thought it was working at one point.

Yes, this message really means that Wowza was not able to connect to a MediaCaster source:

Failed to connect: org.apache.mina.common.RuntimeIOException: Failed to get the session[ConnectException: Connection refused: no further i

nformation].

The ā€œConnection refusedā€ part suggests that the camera was reachable but rejected the connection, possibly because of a connection limit.

If you canā€™t get it working, zip up and send the conf and logs folders to support@wowza.com

Send screen shots

  1. What you are playing, use LiveVideoStreaming Wowza player which shows url and stream name.

  2. What you are doing in StreamManager.

  3. Encoder settings

Include a link to this thread.

Richard

#11

Yes, good idea!

Now I tried it all on the same box with the new Version - same problem :frowning:

Hello Richard,

thank you for your quick answer!

The Wowza servers where in the same ip-net and I now test with all applications on one Wowza Server. Still does not work.

rtsp connects to Sony IPELA Camera work with:

rtsp://192.168.0.38/media/video1

in VLC from Server running the Wowza, firewalls switched off, so I think the port is open.

This line:

INFO server comment - LiveMediaStreamHandler.connect: rtsp://192.168.0.38/media/

video1:rtmp://192.168.0.38:1935/media[video1]

makes me stumble. The Sony Camera does not talk rtmp which is shown

after the ā€œ:ā€ in the URL shown above.

Perhaps there might be a problem?

cu,

Stephan

Hello Support,

finally I found the time to work on this problem again.

I put up all on windows now and on one server with the camera in the same network.

Wowza Version:

INFO server server-start Wowza Media Server 2 Developer 2.2.3 build26454 -

Cam shows video in vlc with this URL:

rtsp://192.168.0.38/media/video1

I also put up a liveorigin and a liveedge along this post:

https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-configure-a-live-stream-repeater

The file /content/repeat.stream has this content:

rtsp://192.168.0.38/media/video1

With the Wowza LiveVideoStreaming example player the following tests work:

Server: rtmp://localhost:1935/liveorigin
Stream: repeat.stream

Server: rtmp://localhost:1935/liveedge
Stream: rtmp://localhost:1935/liveorigin/repeat.stream

So far so well.

Now I added

<OriginURL>rtmp://localhost/liveedge/</OriginURL>
<QueryString><![CDATA[]]></QueryString>

to Application.xml of liveedge.

as far as I understand now the stream name in edge could change:

Server: rtmp://localhost:1935/liveedge
Stream: repeat.stream

This fails with:

WARN	server	comment	2011-03-06	20:34:51	-	-	-	-	-	131.033	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	Failed to connect: org.apache.mina.common.RuntimeIOException: Failed to get the session[ConnectException: Connection refused: no further information].

We want to use that function to set up failover origins, as described in your UsersGuide:

It is possible to configure more than one origin server to provide a hot backup in case the main origin server goes down. Letā€™s say the failover origin server has the domain name origin2.mycompany.com. Assuming it is configured in the same manner as the main origin server, you would set the following Repeater/OriginURL in each the edgeā€™s Applications.xml files:

rtmp://origin.mycompany.com/liveedge|rtmp://origin2.mycompany.com/liveedge

I will send my conf and content file with all logs to your support as well, because I did not find any upload for zip files here.

Any help is appreciated!

Yours,

Woo.

Hello Richard,

I tested the ipcam without origin/edge and it is working fine.

This test works:

Server: rtmp://localhost:1935/liveorigin
Stream: repeat.stream

I put up a port forward to the cam - not showing anything useful beside date and time

until now - will go offline tomorrow or on your request.

Try here:

rtsp://kakapo.homedns.org/media/video1

Woo.

#15

Richard,

that works.

Only thing that does not work is to set up the edges as described in the user manual - and only with RTP-Streams - rtmp works fine. When I start the rtp stream with the stream manager, which type of stream you suggest: rtp or liverepeater?

We want to set up failover origins.

i quote myself from my post above:

Letā€™s say the failover origin server has the domain name origin2.mycompany.com.

<Repeater>
<OriginURL>rtmp://origin.mycompany.com/liveedge|rtmp://origin2.mycompany.com/liveedge</OriginURL>
<QueryString></QueryString>
</Repeater>

Greetings,

Woo.

Richard,

now we are getting somewhere.

When I start the origin as liverepeater it does not work:

This line:

INFO server comment - LiveMediaStreamHandler.connect: rtsp://192.168.0.38/media/
video1:rtmp://192.168.0.38:1935/media[video1]

is the problem - I believe - looks like liverepeater cannot handle RTP streams?

Cheers,

Woo.

#17

Richard,

really, that camera is reachable and connected fine.

Lets look at this line:

INFO server comment - LiveMediaStreamHandler.connect: rtsp://192.168.0.38/media/
video1:rtmp://192.168.0.38:1935/media[video1]

it starts with rtsp and then shows rtmp - can you explain that to me? This cam cannot answer to rtmp requests - that is why it fails.

No, I started the origin with rtp before, then I can use it as described above, with liverepeater it does not work at all.

Woo.

#18

Can you connect to the cam on?

rtsp://kakapo.homedns.org/media/video1

You will see, there is no connection limit.

It works with type rtp but not with liverepeater.

Woo.

#19

ok, I will prepare this tomorrow.

Thank you for your time!

Woo.
