Hi,

I’m streaming a live feed from flash media encoder to my wowza server:

fms url: rtmp://my\_wowza\_ip/number2

stream: test1

The stream is played without a problem in jw player, as well as in brightcove player, but i cannot seem to play the stream as rtsp / rtp in vlc player.

rtsp://my\_wowza\_ip:1935/number2/test1 doesn’t play.

i configured the live application using this tutorial:

[https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-set-up-live-streaming-using-an-rtmp-based-encoder](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-set-up-live-streaming-using-an-rtmp-based-encoder))

Thanks,

Alex

Alex,

Did you do step 3d in that guide?

Are you using h.264 format? VP6 won’t work for this case.

Alex,

I use VLC, as you are doing already.

Hi,

Switched to h264, and rtsp is working, thanks!

Do you know any rtp player where i could check that?
