Hello everyone,

I will be extremely if some one could help me. My problem look as follows:

I want to use one server for transcoding purpose, for transcoding I use ffmpeg. Server OS is Debian sqeezy x64.

The incoming stream is rtp://239.0.12.1:5000

Video format is h.264

audio Mpeg1.

Transcoding server ip are:

10.10.1.56 - through this interface I plan that stream will come to server.

10.0.254.47 -through this interface stream will leave the transcoding server and will go to the Wowza streaming server.

Here is the code that i used for tanscoding:

ffmpeg -loglevel verbose -bufsize 1000 -i rtp://239.0.12.1:5000 -b 500 -r 50 -s sxga -acodec aac -vcodec h264 udp://10.0.254.47:1000

But i don’t get any result, I’m tring to view the obtained stream with vlc:

I’m doing as follows:

udp://10.0.254.47:1000

also I’m tring to look that stream that was streamed on wowza:

rtsp://wowzaip:1935/live/cam0.stream

cam0.stream is stored on the content folder and it is having the following content:

udp://10.0.254.47:1000

Also I was trying to use and 10.10.1.56 instead of 10.0.254.47 but still no result at all.

Thank you in advance

Hi radiocom,

The info we have on ffmpeg is in the FFmpeg Tutorial.

I suggest outputting RTMP to Wowza. For questions regarding 3rd-party tools it’s probably best to look to their support resources. Also remember that your software version, OS version, and log output is key when submitting a support request.
