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.](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-use-ffmpeg-with-wowza-media-server-mpeg-ts%28MPEG-TS%29)

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.
