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](https://www.wowza.com/advanced.php)server. It supports Silverlight smooth streaming (HTTP, not RTP). Instructions are [here](https://www.wowza.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5375). ---

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. Charlie ---

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: [https://www.wowza.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=24](https://www.wowza.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=24) Richard ---

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 ---
