Hi,

I have an ip camera broadcasting rtsp video. I can watch stream on VLC player with this url: rtsp://[my-ip]:554/.

I successfully completed all steps in [this](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-set-up-live-streaming-using-an-rtsp-rtp-based-encoder) link. In incoming streams panel, camera status shows active. When i click test players and click start video show black screen (the is no errors showing) and status shows “MySteam stream is now published.” Where am I doing wrong?

I created another stream using example [BigBuckBunny rtsp broadcast](http://rtsp://wowzaec2demo.streamlock.net/vod/mp4:BigBuckBunny_115k.mov). It’s working properly.

Sorry for my English, thanks for help.

Hi,

If you’re using an IP camera you should follow this article - [How to re-stream video from an IP camera (RTSP/RTP re-streaming)](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-re-stream-video-from-an-ip-camera-rtsp-rtp-re-streaming%28RTSP-RTP-re-streaming%29).

The above tutorial also outlines some troubleshooting steps such as using the rtpIgnoreProfileLevelId Property.

The rtpIgnoreProfileLevelId can also be added on a per stream basis if you have multiple streams and only one of them is causing an issue. To add Properties on a per stream basis please see the article below.

[How to specify per-stream settings in .stream files](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-specify-per-stream-settings-in-stream-files)
