We are considering such features but no definitive plans. Charlie ---

You are best off moving to Wowza Media Server 2. The instructions are here: [https://www.wowza.com/docs/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) If you want to play in mplayer or vlc then it is best to use RTSP/RTP out which is only supported in Wowza Server 2. I really don’t understand the second question. Charlie ---

You can use any of the players such as JWPlayer, FlowPlayer… They all work. They are all players that use the Adobe Flash player. We have an extensive API. What you need to do is most likely there. I still am not exactly sure what you are interested in doing. Are you trying to start a publishing stream? What encoder are you using? I would need more detail to understand that you are talking about. Or, are you trying to do server-side streaming. Do you need to setup a TV channel like experience. Charlie ---

It sounds like yoiu are trying to stream a video/audio format that we do not support. Please describe in detail the source of the video/audio and the format/codecs that are being used. What is the make/model of the camera or encoder? What settings are you using? Charlie ---

You will need to suppress the audio in the camera. See if there is a way to turn off audio in the camera. Charlie ---

I really don’t understand what you are trying to do. It seems to have nothing to do with Wowza. Charlie ---

What is the make and model of the camera. It seems it does not produce RTCP packets. These are used to synchronize the video and audio. You can try editing [install-dir]/conf/[application]/Application.xml and changing the RTP/AVSyncMethod to systemclock. This should allow Wowza to connect to the camera more quickly. Charlie ---

I need a lot more detail (encoder being used, Wowza version…) as much detail as possible. Charlie ---

It sounds like there may be an issue with the camera. The timebase must be set to 0 which is going to be a problem. You might try a different AVSync Method in conf/rtplive/Application.xml to see if that helps. Charlie ---

Again, it is most likely not a wowza issue but more likely an issue with the camera. We can take a quick look at the camera if you send us the direct RTSP URL to the camera on teh Internet. Can’t help with anything short of that. Charlie ---

Wowza does not support the video and audio codec being used by this camera. This camera uses MPEG-4 and ULaw. The camera output must be transcoded to H.264, AAC or MP3 to work properly with Wowza. Charlie ---

There seems to be missing data in teh SDP data. Your SDP video data looks like this: ```auto m=video 0 RTP/AVP 99 c=IN IP4 0.0.0.0 a=control:rtsp://10.0.0.50/live:video:2 a=rtpmap:99 H264/90000 a=framesize:99 352-288 ``` There should be additional data that describes the H.264 stream. Charlie ---

I do not know that solution. It looks like you are pulling a stream using RTSP. Is there anything on the Internet to test against? If you send an RTSP/RTP stream to support@wowza.com that is available on the Internet we can take a look at it. Be sure to reference this forum thread. Charlie ---

Download and install this patch: [WowzaMediaServer2.2.4-patch2.zip](https://www.wowza.com/downloads/WowzaMediaServer-2-2-4/WowzaMediaServer2.2.4-patch2.zip) It fixes a small problem with RTSP/RTP header parsing. Be sure you set the the forceInterleaved MediaCaster/Properties to true and I had to set the RTP/AVSyncMethod method to systemclock to make it work. Charlie ---
