Geovision GV-SD200 live stream problem

Wowza Streaming Engine
1

Hi.

I have:

  1. Geovision GV-SD200 with latest firmware.

  2. Wowza media server 3

  3. Need to restream rtsp > rtmp/http

RTSP url for camera is rtsp://ip:554/h264.

Videocodec - MPEG4 Part10 / h264.

Case 1: grab rtsp stream directly with wowza.

Result: fail.

Error: Failed to find an appropriate depacketizer for this track (H264)

Case 2: change transport protocol of camera stream (not vcodec) with the help of VLC and grab converted feed with wowza.

Something like this:

vlc -d rtsp://ip:554/h264 --sout udp:238.0.1.2:10000

echo “udp://238.0.1.2:10000” > /usr/local/WowzaMediaServer/geovision.stream

Result: all works fine.

Is there any way to use GV-SD200 with wowza without VLC or other converter?

Are you following this tutorial?

Try adding this property from the trouble-shooting section of the tutorial

    <Type>Boolean</Type>
</Property>

What version of Wowza are you using? If the above does not work, try patching to the latest version. If you are below 3.1.2, apply this patch first:

Then apply this patch over it:
