Hi,

Are there any encoder settings that Wowza doesn’t allow for streaming?

My encoders/cameras usually trasmits video using H.264, high-profile, video resolution greater than 720p.

However Wowza kept connecting/disconnecting RTSP/RTP when content files were made for those things.

But it worked fine with videos having base-line profile and lower level.

The link below recommends video encoding with base-line profile and level 2.1. Does that mean settings

higher or more complex encoding will not be supported by Wowza?

I have already read following links. One thing I can suspect is bad SDPs/incorrect level-id which are not likely in my case…

This sounds like you are exceeding your bandwidth between encoder and Wowza.

No. I connected only few of them just testing purpose.

I found that a camera repeating connection/disconnection had no sprop string in SDP.

It’s now all ok.

Thanks.
