Screensharing using WOWza server

Wowza Streaming Engine

Hello,

How do I share my screen through wowza?

Do you have any sample code?

Thank you…

We don’t have any examples at present, but Wowza does support RTMP screen share codec, also mentioned here

And there was something called jscrap that worked with Wowza, but am not sure where that is now.

Also checkout Wirecast, I think has a screen share feature

It is very possible that app will work with Wowza as well.

Another option is VLC. I used VLC command:

vlc -vvv screen:// --screen-fps 15 --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=127.0.0.1,port=10000,mux=ts}"

And re-streamed following the MPEG-TS Guide

Do you have any examples on developing a screenshare app with wowza?

Hi,

As Richard mentioned, Telestream provides a Desktop Presenter, a small application for transmitting a computer’s desktop across the network into Wirecast. When enabled, a desktop screen can be sent through Wirecast to Wowza. For more information, see the Telestream download site.

We are developing an application will do screen share and also record it as a video file. Now i have read about jrcrap and screen share codec which i cant find anywhere, then there are many other 3rd party desktop share apps in java which possibly could be integrated within our flash app using wowza. But i am wanting to know what can i use which can seamlessly work best with wowza. I desperately need help here and if you have some examples available related this then i would be very grateful.

is that the best option? As wirecast itself is $500. Isn’t red5-screenshare a better solution? It is free and all we need is to integrate a jar file and it will work on all platforms.
