Live unicast UDP Stream

I am using Wowza for the first time, trail license, version is 4.1.2.

Running on MAC OSX 10.9.5

I have a Brightsign player, that is streaming a unicast stream using UDP.

In Wowza, created a LIVE STREAM and set the STREAM FILES - STREAM URI to - udp://192.168.40.4:2234.

I don’t see anything under MONITORING, i.e. no traffic however under APPLICATION UPTIME it says

BS-UNICAST-STREAM not running

I clicked RESTART but nothing changes.

I know the Brightsign player is sending out the stream because I captured packets using WireShark.

Is it possible to ingest a unicast UDP stream ?

I want to ingest it as noted and output a UDP multicast stream.

Any assistance would be appreciated !

Thanks

Some progress…I now have the application receiving incoming traffic as seen under Monitor window.

Within the application instance left all the PLAYBACK TYPES check.

From the Monitor window using the TEST PLAYERS, Adobe RTMP, click START this message is displayed

at the bottom of the window - “Source stream or file could not be found or access was denied”

Thank you for any suggestions.

Hello there.

The first requirement is that the target network supports multicast. If so you would use the Push Publish AddOn:

I decided to uninstall 4.1.2 version and install 4.2.

Right now, I have things almost working, except no audio.

I created two STREAM TARGETS, MPEG-TS and RTP.

I can join either of these streams using VLC but no audio.

If I stop the incoming stream (Unicast - udp://192.168.40.33:2234) I can use VLC to join the Unicast stream

and I get both video and audio.

The unicast stream is from a BirghtSign player and the product specs mentions “AUDIO - AAC and MPEG1 layer 2 (MP2) included with video”.

Searching FORUMS I have seen references to SDP files, since I am not familiar with these files, I have included both, perhaps something not setup correctly:

MPEGTS SDP

Much closer…jus need to get the audio working ???

Thanks
