i am following this tutorial [https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-set-up-live-streaming-using-an-rtsp-rtp-based-encoder](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-set-up-live-streaming-using-an-rtsp-rtp-based-encoder) .i read the documentation of ffmpeg and their commands and utilities.

iset the hostname and stream to

Host Address: 127.0.0.1:1935

Stream Name: live/myStream.sdp

using the command

ffmpeg -re -i /usr/local/WowzaMediaServer/content/sample.mp4 -acodec copy -vcodec copy -f rtsp -muxdelay 0.1 rtsp://myuser:mypassword@127.0.0.1:1935/live/myStream.sdp

it is streaming properly as i can see in linux terminal .then i open the page in /examples/LiveVideoStreaming/FlashRTMPPlayer/player.html

in this page i specify Server : rtmp://127.0.01:1935/live

Stream : myStream

when i click on connect it is giving me status: Failed to play myStream; stream not found.

i set my username and password to myuser and mypassword in admin.password file .where i am mistaking please help me to point out so that i will able to live stream using rtsp.
