live555 streaming server to Flowplayer

Wowza Streaming Engine
1

Hi

We have been using live555 streaming server to stream custom made files and modified url. The url (e.g. rtsp://192.168.129.131:554/FILEPATH=C:\1.wav) works fine with VLC. We wish to use flowpayer or Re-streaming with Wowza, but we are unable to do so. We have tried following in flowplayer but in vain:

url: ‘mystream.stream’,

live:true,

provider: ‘rtmp’

,

plugins:

rtmp:

url: ‘…/flowplayer.rtmp-3.2.3.swf’,

netConnectionUrl: ‘rtmp://192.168.129.131/simplevideostreaming’

mystream.stream has the rtsp url and is stored in contents folder.

Can anyone please guide how to achieve the required result.

Hi

Have you created a simple video streaming application, i assume you have looking at the above post but could check the following :

To create an application you need to go to:

[Wowza Install Folder]/applications/

and create [Your Application] called what ever you choose.

You should then see:

[Wowza Install Folder]/applications/[Your Application]/

Then go to:

[Wowza Install Folder]/conf/

and create [Your Application] with the same name as [Your Application] above.

You should then see:

[Wowza Install Folder]/conf/[Your Application]/

Copy the Application.xml file from [Wowza Install Folder]/conf/ into:

[Wowza Install Folder]/conf/[Your Application]/

You should then see:

[Wowza Install Folder]/conf/[Your Application]/Application.xml

You have now created an application in Wowza.

Edit your Application.xml in

[Wowza Install Folder]/conf/[Your Application]/Application.xml

as applicable.

In your Application.xml you need to edit :

default to file

also

Maker sure your stroage dir is set to: C:</StorageDir>

Wowza doesnt support .wav files im affraid so you will have to convert it to MP3

When you have done this you should change :

url: ‘mystream.stream’ to url: 1.mp3, assuming your mp3 is called 1.mp3 after converting it from wav.

This may not be what your after but hopefully give you a pointer in the right direction.

The simplevideostreaming application has StreamType “default”. You need an application with StreamType “rtp-live” and what you are doing should work (if the source is right) Or use StreamType “live” then start camera.stream in StreamManager.

Take a look at this tutorial:

Actually .wav is just a sample, its not working for mp3 as well. We are streaming audio from live555 server and that can be mp3, wav, or any other format. the rtp has raw pcm bytes.

Now i am able to make rtsp connection with wowza but the rtp packets are not playable at flowplayer. Any idea what the problem could be?
