Re streaming MPEG4 IP camera (VLC transcode)

Hi,

I’m trying to re-stream mpeg4 ip cameras. (RTSP->RTMP)

I configured my wowza according to this howto:

https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-re-stream-video-from-an-ip-camera-rtsp-rtp-re-streaming

Since wowza does not support mpeg4, i have to transcode it with vlc. There is example article in the howto above.

https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-use-vlc-as-a-live-stream-encoder-with-wowza-media-server-mpeg-ts

In my case it looks like this:

vlc -vvv rtsp://user:pass@CAM_IP/video.mp4 --sout “#transcode{venc=x264{keyint=60,profile=baseline,level=3.0,nocabac},vcodec=x264,vb=150,scale=0.5,acodec=mp4a,ab=96,channels=2,samplerate=48000}:rtp{dst=WOWZA_SERVER_IP,port=10000,mux=ts}”

How should i change my camera.stream in content foldor to apply this changes? Or shoud is change something in application.xml?

The howtos are pretty good, but it would by usefull to extend it with how to steam transcoded content.

thnx,
