Problems, to get external an external RTSP source working.

a_Dorn · July 19, 2011, 2:58pm

Hello *,

I’ve problems to get an external RTSP Source working.

I can’t see a video signal in Flash.
The RTSP-Control seems to work, if I look to wireshark.
I can see incoming RTP-Packets in wireshark.
I can’t get the stream out of the server. (tried rtsp, http, rtmp, …)
I used the live-Stream-example app, and changed the config a bit: like logging, Ports for firewalls, timeouts. Details, See Application.xml
The same Configuration is working with another video Source (axis-Video encoder)
The Server sends a teardown after the Stream duration has MediaCaster/Properties/Property/streamTimeout is reached.

(If I set this pram to 0, I can see incoming RTP-Packets a long time.

The external Source is working without Wowza in the VLC player.
It is not possible, to make this VideoSouce available over the Internet.

Has anybody an Idea, what else I should try now?

Thanks for any helping answer…

Try to access the external RTSP Source/LogFile:

It looks okay from what you show. Try adding forceInterleaved Property to the Application.xml /MediaCasters Properties list

<Property>
	<Name>forceInterleaved</Name>
	<Value>true</Value>
	<Type>Boolean</Type>
</Property>

If that doesn’t help, can you put the encoderr and stream on a public ip and send url to support@wowza.com

Include the exact make/model of the encoder or camera and any info you have

Let us know when you can.

Thanks,

Richard

Hi Richard!

Thanks for the fast answer.

I tried TCP-Interleaved allready, does not work. (Also in the VLC-Player). I’ll try to get a public test source (may be I’ll can solve it with a Packet capture/replay tool.)

a_Dorn · July 21, 2011, 10:25am

Hi Richard!

I got some more Informations:

Behind the source is a Siqura C-60 Video Encoder. and a VideoProxy Server.

Getting a Testsource is not so easy…maybe I can get such an device…

Regards

Adorn
