Hi,
I am pretty new to all this media terminology so I think I am not correctly understanding something in Wowza.
-
I’ve installed TRIAL WOWZA on my Linux CentOS system.
-
I can log into WOWZA from /enginemanager.
-
I select “SERVER”.
-
Then Stream Files and create a stream file profile with live application.
-
Stream File name 816b.stream which is for an rtsp IP Camera.
-
Then Connect to Stream.
-
Then go to .“APPLICATIONS”-> “Incoming Streams”.
-
My Stream shows “ACTIVE”.
-
Then to incoming security and do no authentication for rtmp.
-
I try connecting to the stream with rtmp://server-ip/live/816b.stream with VLC Player and get the camera image.
-
I try connecting with rtmp://server-ip/live/816b but VLC complains. Can’t connect.
-
I go to “TEST PLAYERS”.
-
Select Adobe RTMP - same, will not connect to 816b, but 816b.stream is ok.
Like I said, I am pretty new to this and so far my limited experience has been URL formats of rtmp://{server-ip}:{port}/live/{stream_id} – not {stream_id.stream}
Is there a way to do this in Wowza with what I am trying to use (rtsp ip camera) as a source?
And also, if I enable “Incoming Security”, can I pass the username:password thru the URL string?
I’ve searched the documentation, but I’ve not found any examples of how. It suggests it can, but does not provide any formatted structure.
Thanks,
Wes
