How to configure Wowza Media Server for Dune STB

Hello.

I have a problem with configuration of Wowza Server for Dune STB.

This STB requires something that is described here http://dune-hd.com/firmware/iptv/

Here is a small quote from that link:

Dune players have a limited support for IPTV channels playback. You can use this feature only if your Internet provider provides IPTV channels matching the following specifications:

  • Non-encrypted channels (free access).

  • Multicast UDP (raw UDP) or multicast RTP (RTP-over-UDP) protocols.

  • MPEG2-TS container.

  • MPEG2 or H.264 video codec (any video resolution from SD PAL/NTSC to FullHD 1080p).

Consult with your Internet provider to check if such IPTV channels are available.

We can’t help with the ISP requirements, but I think Wowza can be used as a source for this system.

Take a look at these articles:

Take a look at this package, see if it will meet your needs, because it is easier to get working:

I think you can use the RTP Pusher module, I have done so with STBs in the past however you have to do the following

Configure the IP and Port of the destination STB, so you have client-ip-1 and then port in the RTP Push module, say you client has an IP of 192.168.1.1 and you are using port 5000, that goes in the RTP Push configuration.

Now on the STB set it to rtp://0.0.0.0:5000

This forces the STB to look locally for traffic on port 5000. This does work with a variety of STBs.

I have such configuration:

Computer A with Wowza Server with ip: [wowza-server-ip].

Couple clients with STB. STBs have IP like: [client-ip-1] and [client-ip-2] … [client-ip-n].

Clients with STB are located anywhere and are connected to the Internet.

I try to use RTPPusher. I have setup RTPPusher on the Wowza server. Then I have started RTPPusher client and tried such options:

  • I choose IP from multicast range (class G), something like 239.1.1.1 . Also I have tried various combinations of ports and checkboxes. I used udp://@ [wowza-server-ip]:[some-port], udp://@239.1.1.1:[some-port]. As the result I got nothing even on VLC player.

  • I set at RTPPusher IP one of the client’s IP for example [client-ip-1]. On the client side I got the stream only using VLC with rtp://@[client-ip-1]:[some-port]. But STB still not works with these settings. In addition this works only on client with real IP and does not work on client over NAT.

Could you please describe the detailed config (as for dummies :slight_smile: ) for Wowza Server with examples of IP : port on client side and server side.

Many thanks in advance.
