H.264 stream from GANZ camera not working

Hello,

I have been trying all I was able to do in order to get one of my stream to work.

The camera stream works fine via VLC player but on Wowza I keep getting these errors and the stream never starts:

Codec info from VLC: H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part10) (h264)

Camera setup: codec: h264 (640x480), FPS: 10, GOP:20, Const. bit rate (512), RTP unicast (UDP) (I also tried ‘RTP over RTSP (TCP)’ without luck)

The camera was added by placing its rtsp URL (including credentials) in a .stream file in the content folder just like all my other cams.

The application.xml file, within application ‘live’ was modified as shown below (I added a few things suggest in this forum trying to get the stream to work)

Streams are played using Flowplayer 3.2.7 pointing to stream URL: ‘rtmp:///rtplive/.stream’

With the chance I would like to ask if it is possible in any way to support iOS when streams occur upon viewing like in my case (rtp-live) and not using Streammanager.

I can provide camera RTSP url if necessary.

Thanks for any help you can give

DD,

I think the audio track is the problem. Similar message here:

Hi,

I did read that and tested it on a wowza 2.2 instance unsuccessfully. I now did it on a Wowza 3 instance and it worked!

Guess I may have done something wrong on the 2.2 instance, or there was a combination of problems, either-ways now I am fine. Thanks

DD
