Hi,

I encode rtsp stream from IP Camera to rtmp using wowza media server.

When I connect to the RTMP stream with a flash player on Firefox, everything works ; for against, with Chrome, the connection to the stream is ok, but I have a black screen.

The problem seems to recent, do you have an idea please ?

Hi,

We do have some per stream options that can be added via the .stream file you’re using to pull the stream in to Wowza which may help.

[How to specify per-stream settings in .stream files](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-specify-per-stream-settings-in-stream-files)

Without a link to the stream on your server or a link to the source it will be difficult to troubleshoot.

You may want to open a ticket to keep your camera and/or Wowza IP private.

To open a ticket please send an email to support@wowza.com

Include a description of the problem, a link to this thread for reference and a zip file containing the following directories:

[Wowza-Install]/conf/

[Wowza-Install]/logs/

[Wowza-Install]/transcoder/

[Wowza-Install]/manager/logs/

Please do make sure you provide logs which show Wowza server starting.

If you are not sure how to get this information please see the following tutorial.

Hi,

I tried to play this stream with VLC player using RTMP, RTSP and HTTP (Apple HLS) protocols but was unsuccessful with all attempts.

I also tried with the Test Players in Wowza Streaming Engine manager and was not able to play with Adobe HDS, Microsoft SS or MPEG-DASH (also using Google Chrome web browser).

Please open a ticket so we can see what’s being printed in the log files and when configuration settings you currently have.

Regards,

Jason
