Playing Vedios in SilverLight player using RTSP

Hi

I have got Wowza Pro 10 1.7.2 build12107.

I guess this build supports RTSP.

I am trying to play a RTP live sample video on silverLight player.

The URL which I have specified in SilverLight Source property is as

rtsp://ip-address/rtplive/mystream.sdp

but nothing is played in SilverLight control.

Can any please guide on how to Play videos in SilverLight control which only supports RTSP.

Thanks

Wowza Pro10 only supports Flash (RTMP) streaming. So it will not work with RTP players or Silverlight. Take a look at Wowza 2 Advanced server. It supports Silverlight smooth streaming (HTTP, not RTP). Instructions are here.

I assume this is an audio only stream. This is a problem right now with Silverlight. The Silverlight live players that are available must have both a video and audio stream. They cannot handle audio only. I need to ammend the instructions. We continue to work with Microsoft to try and get access to an audio only player.

No, I don’t have anything running. What live encoder are you using? If you don’t have one yet, you can get a trial version of Wirecast. Or if you have a mac, Quicktime Broadcaster is a good option to get started. And browse the live encoder section of this forum:

Hi Thanks for reply

I got Advanced version install. When I try to play the SimpleVideoStreaming sample from clientSilverLight , the SL media player is launched but movie is not getting played I don’t see any requests coming on server console as well.

When I tried to use VLC by giving the URL as

RTSP://ip-addr:1935/simplevideostreaming/mp4:Extremists.m4v

It asks for some authentication.

Can u please explain if I need to do any settings and what should be the Source URL for silver light player

Thanks Richard

This worked for VOD. I am trying to display a Live news channel stream through wowza advance server. I have got MediaCaster down-loaded and setup as per the instructions.

Do you have any stream using which I can test this ?

Thanks

I am trying to follow the instructions given in https://www.wowza.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5375 regarding Live streaming.

I have configured the mediacasterstreammanager and StreamNameAlias to point to a SOUTHCast url http://80.86.106.136:9000

When I run the Default.html file I am getting below errors printed on my Wowza server console

WARN server comment station1 MediaReaderH264.open[1]: java.io.FileNotFoundExcept

ion: C:\Program Files\Wowza Media Systems\Wowza Media Server 2 Preview 8\content

\station1 (The system cannot find the file specified)

ERROR server comment - MediaReaderH264SmoothStreamer.indexFile:java.lang.NullPoi

nterException

SilverLight Player displays error as Caught Exception trying to parse initial manifest / initialize buffering engine : At least one media stream is needed none are declared in the manifest Failed to load media.

Is this the issue with the SOUTHCast url which I am using
