Streaming from an IP camera (RTSP/RTP re-streaming)

Hello,

i read the Tutorial from here:

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

On the Point 1. a. “Publishing the stream” i create the camera.stream and add to the content of this file

rtsp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/nphMpeg4/g726-640x480

(for xxx the public Internet ip from the Panasonic BL-C111 Ip Cam)

i get in the access.log

Try adding username and password like this:

rtsp://richard:myPwd@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/nphMpeg4/g726-640x480

I answered your other ticket on this: I don’t know

Richard

Charlie says update to 3.5.2 to stream to XBox

Richard

TrippleEx,

Do you have any documentation or understanding of the streaming protocol that the Dreambox 800se can consume? Identify this and let us know what does and does not work. Once we establish how the device will consume a stream, then we can work on the optimal Wowza configuration for your workflow.

It sounds like you want to publish a stream from the Dreambox 800se to Wowza. Is that even possible? It would be my assumption that you have a separate source and encoder that’s sending a publishing stream to Wowza and that you simply need to distribue this live media stream to your Dreambox 800se, iOS, web clients, etc.

Please clarify a bit so we can better help you.

Tripplex,

I hope it has worked by now. If not, have you checked if you are able to receive the feed in some other viewer/player? I would first confirm the receiving part then go for the next steps.

Best wishes

As per my understanding he/she wants to restream an ip cam(panasonic bl-c111) feed via wowza to other devices

cam–>wowza–>HLS,rtmp,HDS,mpegts etc

Hi Richard,

ok, now i get the Connection, but only a black screen :frowning:

I have a other Question:

I want stream from my Dreambox 800se (Linux based Set-Top-Box), following streaming line:

http://192.168.178.22/web/stream.m3u?ref=1%3A0%3A1%3ACFDA%3A2714%3AF001%3AFFFF0000%3A0%3A0%3A0%3A

Is this possible and how can Encode this stream, and how can i Re-Stream it with Wowza to different People (using different Player: Smartphone, PC, Set-Top-Box etc.) with Password access.

Thanks.
