RTSP/RTP improvements including video on demand support (patch15 or greater)

Wowza Streaming Engine
#70

If you are not able to play the sample either, you might have a configuration problem. Make sure Application.xml /RTP /Authentication /PlayMethod is set to “none”

Richard

Richard,

I have the configuration accordingly, whatever u specified above. With this configuration, I am able to able rtsp on Nokia and Samsung devices. Its only Sony Ericsson devices that are not able to play the rtsp stream from WOWZA. Even the new VOD RTSP that u published on your server, also not played on Sony Ericsson devices. :o:eek:

http://www.wowza.com/mobile.html

seems to not work on my G1 (rooted, latest CyanoGen mod 5.07, Firmware version 2.1-update1, kernel version 2.6.33.3, build number EPE54B).

it just gives “Sorry, this video cannot be played.” message :frowning:

I have tested it with exactly the same configuration (G1, CM5.0.7) and it works well. Try this:

  1. Create a HTML page with a link to the stream:

Wowza mobile

  1. Put the html page somewhere on the web and open int with your Android browser

  2. Click on the link and select “Movies” from the list of available players

Question for Wowza team: How did you encode the video file that it plays so well on Android? I would like to create a live video stream for Android devices using the VLC but so far without any success. Do you have some magic command for VLC which creates Android-compatible stream? Live stream on iPhone (https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-use-vlc-as-a-live-stream-encoder-with-wowza-media-server-mpeg-ts) works well but not for Android. If I use this setting on Android, the stream stops after few seconds and I must restart the phone to get sound working again. Please help.

Does http://www.wowza.com/community/t/-/96 is corrupted ?

No sorry works fine :wink:

#73

Hangs for me on OS X as well. On a Blackberry 8900 video playback is fine, but audio seems garbled.

#74

Hello! Can Wowza launch the programm (function) which removes file with that name in the desired directory, if the file name in video on demand is incorrect. Thank you!

#75

You can use Java file.io API in a Wowza module to delete a file.

Can I use Java file.io API in a Wowza module to move a file?

Hi,

I am using 2 streaming servers:

  1. Wowza with the latest patch.

  2. Darwin streaming server (DSS).

I have an aac 3gp file -betser1.3gp encoded and hinted by Helix encoder

I have nokia 5800 cellphone with real player as the rtsp player:

The DSS was working fine - can stream the 3gp aac file to my cellphone.

The link:

rtsp://199.203.56.100/server12/betser1.3gp

The Wowza streaming server failed to stream the aac 3gp file.

rtsp://199.203.56.100/server12/betser1.3gp

Can you tell me what is the problem with my Wowza streaming server.

Do I need a special encoding or hinting ?

Thanks,

Gal Betser

Hello,

I want to stream RTP/UDP for VoD applications. I followed the steps for creating Application.xml file and I upgraded to the last patch available. I also added the IP address of my Wowza server in the following three lines:

192.168.200.3 192.168.200.3

192.168.200.3

The server is not behind NAT, but it still streams RTP/TCP.

Any suggestions?

Thank you!

#81

The server is in the same network as the client - there is no need for NAT.

#82

The stream works but in Wireshark I can see that it is RTP/TCP stream

#83

Thank you Charlie - it worked for VLC!

#84

I followed all the steps in this thread and I am not able to stream the Extreme.m4v file to my Curve. It works on my laptop using VLC player.

Am I missing something? Is this supported?

Any help would be appreciated. We are trying to decide whether to go with this server or Helix.

#85

I guess there is a chance that these phones do not support MP3 over RTSP/RTP. Are you able to play our test RTSP/RTP stream on either of these phones:

http://www.wowza.com/mobile.html

Nope, does not play. I am using a Samsung Instinct over 3G.

On my Wowza server, RTSP stream works well in Quicktime running on another machine on the network. I can monitor the connection and see Wowza negotiate the connection and serve the stream.

However, from the Samsung, it is like there is no communication with Wowza. I wondered if perhaps the Samsung was looking for a specific port. I opened Wowza to port 80 but that did not work. They are obviously not talking.

The Samsung worked well with Darwin Media Server, so I know that it can accept an RTSP stream.

Any suggestions?

I am having a real problem with this.

A Blackberry can connect to your server and view the steam, but cannot connect to mine.

An HTC can connect to your server, but the video looks like an old TV that does not tune into the channel, audio is fine. It cannot connect to my server.

Can you make the Application.xml file available for your server?

#87

Is there support for fast forward or rewind in the VoD server?

I saw that the Range header is being evaluated so seeking works, and that is very nice.

However, the scale header was ignored. I tested on the EC2 server [rtsp://184.72.239.149/vod/mp4:BigBuckBunny_175k.mov] with VLC as client.

Are these trick-play features planned to be supported in future versions?

Thanks!

I have some h264/aac VOD files that work very well streaming to the Android thanks to this update. I was wondering if it’s possible to use multi bitrate switching to play the appropriate file for a 3g or Wifi connection (and switch as needed).

I tried pointing to the working SMIL file I created for Apple devices, but the Android says “movie cannot be played”. Do I need a different type of file to describe the multiple streaming rates or is this just not yet supported?

Thanks!

Hi,

Does this configuration applicable to audio streaming (live/re-stream)?
