Hi,
I am really quite new to streaming etc, but have set up the Wowza server and understand what is required. Except for one major problem - I want to take the Unicast stream from the Netstream plugin in DVBviewer and stream it to to a flash based web page. I have been trying now for a couple of weeks and have now decided I really need some help!
The stream output from Netstream is on http://198.168.1.40:8088 of my local network and I can play it easily in VLC, i just cannot figure out how to get it in to Wowza!
Many thanks.
Hi
Wowza doesn’t take an input http stream other than IceCast and ShoutCast.
Take a look at this,
https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-use-ffmpeg-with-wowza-media-server-mpeg-ts
This might help you with the input steam into Wowza
You could also try transcoding via VLC.

Hi
The resolution or bitrate may be to high if you lower them this could solve this problem.

Hi,
Next problem - I want to stream from DVBViewer to our Wii console (which only supports Flash Ver7). This I can now do using the following ffmpeg encoding (only video for now) :
“c:\ffmpeg\bin\ffmpeg.exe” -i “http://192.168.1.40:8088” -an -vcodec flv -vb 2000000 -s 720x480 -f flv rtmp://127.0.0.1/live/myStream
This streams through wowza server to a web server that uses flowplayer 2.2.4 (the last to give Wii support). Now, from all my windows based machines the video plays perfectly - on the Wii the video is very jerky with a pause every minute or so to buffer. Any ideas?
