Hi, I’m trying to learn how to use Wowza, been doing fine with VOD, but I’m having problems running live streams. To diagnose the problem, I’ve started Wowza through the command line.
I’m using VLC to simulate a live stream, but it’s not reaching the server, I don’t see any connections attempts on the server’s command line.
I copied the default live application in a new live-2 app and disabled security for incoming streams for testing purposes. The VLC command that I’m using is this:
vlc -vvv “C:\sample.mp4” :sout=#rtp{sdp=rtsp://192.168.0.7:1935/} :sout-keep
VLC opens the file, and says its streaming, but nothing reaches the server. Any help would be highly appreciated!
Thanks
Patricio
PS: I also tried other commands, like this
vlc -vvv “C:\sample.mp4” :sout=#rtp{sdp=rtsp://192.168.0.7:1935/live-2/} :sout-keep
And from documentation examples here https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-use-vlc-as-a-live-stream-encoder-with-wowza-media-server-mpeg-ts (but I won’t even stream, the docs are outdated, 2010, and for Wowza 2.x)
vlc -vvv input_stream --sout ‘#rtp{dst=192.168.0.7,port=1935,file:///C:/sample.mp4}’
