Vlc RTP Live

Guys we have indeed followed all of this and are obviously missing something. We have asked for assistance in many different ways.

Now it feels like we are going to be led around in circles until we pay the $300hr consulting rate Elan quoted us.

We truly want to say WOWZA but aren’t feeling the love.

What other things can we post to help diagnose the issue?

Charlie what are all of the other files we can send to help diagnose this?

Thanks

Well that did not worked,

here is my steps

on my pc run this command

vlc -vvv -I rc dshow:// :dshow-vdev="CyberLink Web Camera Filter" :dshow-adev="External Mic (IDT High Definiti" :dshow-size="640x480" --sout "#transcode{venc=x264{keyint=60,profile=baseline,level=3.0,nocabac,qpmax=36,qpmin=10,me=hex,merange=24,subme=9,qcomp=0.6},vcodec=x264,vb=500,scale=1,acodec=mp4a,ab=96,channels=2,samplerate=48000}:rtp{dst=***.***.**.***,port-video=10000,port-audio=10002,sdp= file://d:/vlc.sdp}"

then go to stream manager

http://...*:8086/streammanager/index.html

enable the rtp live stream

copy the vlc.sdp file generated in my pc on the server (content folder)

and then try to run on iphone

http://***.***.**.***:1935/rtplive/vlc.sdp/playlist.m3u8

is there any step that im missing-skipping?

Thanks for your help

question , does the sdp changes between runs? i just did the exact instructions

also extracting useful data in the logs (i see a lot of warns) as there are also some from the streaming (Comments) that we are doing to our site

here are something interesting

the server does not see the vlc file on the server?

and nothing is being show

EC2 Ports open are 10000 to 10003 ,1935, and some others used by us.

Does Quciktime generated a sdp file taht we need to upload?

Also there is no error in the logs,so not really sure what is the problem (no port blockcing on pc also, even disabled av-firewall)

Check the access log (no error logs) plz

sorry had to copy on pastebin, too big for this forum

http://pastebin.com/f2a6a5a5

here is the current security groups

Worked now, seems that vlc / quicktime is having some problems with the command line - port being used

now , there is one issue, do you know of any flash-java based that allows to stream-transcode?

Thanks for your help through this

Well, we want to stream to iphone, using a flash based app(or java if needed) client side, so the user does not haveto install any app.

But so far have not found any that works(The one that worked for us was flash media live encoder using h.264 encoding)

Charlie,

why the publish is done manually ? if u want to publish dynamiclly from different sources you cannot tolerate do it manually

Is there any option to inject or publish the sdp file automaticcaly without using the web manager

thanks u in advanced.
