Check the stream profile, make sure the audio is supported format. And make sure sound is not muted in the player. Richard ---

I’m not sure. I’ve got m1011, which doesn’t have any audio. Richard ---

I would try it with the Wowza (home pc) as an Origin server, and the Wowza (work pc) as an Edge server in an Origin/Edge configuration. See the “Live Stream Repeater (Multiple Server Live Streaming)” section of the User Guide. Richard ---

From what I understand, I think Darwin server will work, but I don’t think Windows Media Server will work Richard ---

There is a StreamType for that: “liverepeater-edge-origin” Encoder \> liverepeater-origin \> liverepeater-edge-origin \> liverepeater-edge \> client Richard ---

You can do that with /conf/StartUpStreams.xml: [https://www.wowza.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7096](https://www.wowza.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7096) Or here is a module to do it: [http://community.wowza.com/t/-/88](http://community.wowza.com/t/-/88) Richard ---

You have covered just about everything I would have thought of. I assume you are on the latest patch and have tuned the server? Richard ---

Jan, I’m not sure what you are asking and referring to. Richard ---

I’m not sure. I tested here and get the same results in vlc (video and audio ok) and Flash (video ok, no audio). I do see this warning each time I play or start the stream in Flash: RTCPHandler.convertTimeSyncTimecode: Invalid timescale value: 0 Richard ---

I was just reporting my findings. I re-streamed the same stream from an application here with StreamType “rtp-live”, and I had the same results that you reported, and saw that error repeatedly. I don’t know how to fix it. Richard ---

Try adding forceInterleaved property to Application.xml /MediaCaster Properties list: ```auto forceInterleaved true Boolean ``` Richard ---

Copy all the files in that client folder to your computer and open in file explorer at location you copied to, or move them to a web server and open in a browser. Change “localhost” in box labeled “Stream:” to the ip of your Wowza server. Richard ---

You are trying to play a stream named “rtplive”, but the stream is really “rtsp://admin:password@XXXXXX.dyndns.org:8554/CH002.sdp”, which won’t work in JW player, you have to create an Alias: Create a text file with a .stream extension in the content folder, name it ch002.stream: /content/ch002.stream Make this the contents of choo2.stream: > rtsp://admin:password@XXXXXX.dyndns.org:8554/CH002.sdp Then use choo2.stream as the file Flashvar “&file=choo2.stream” Make sure your text editor does not add a .txt extension, it has to be name ch002.stream Richard ---

You can use VLC to play the RTSP stream direct, then look at Tools \> Codec Info to see what the video format is. It might not be h.264. Richard ---

Wowza handles rtsp streaming. Take a look at “To play using RTSP/RTP player or device” in this tutorial: [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)) You can’t restream the smil exactly, it’s the smil items that are restreamed.

It has to be mpeg-4 part 10, or h.264. What you have is probably mpeg-4 part 2, which is not supported in Flash and Wowza. Richard ---

Try transcoding with ffmpeg or VLC, there are examples with rtsp input in both of these guides: [https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-use-ffmpeg-with-wowza-media-server-mpeg-ts](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-use-ffmpeg-with-wowza-media-server-mpeg-ts)) [https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-use-vlc-as-a-live-stream-encoder-with-wowza-media-server-mpeg-ts](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-use-vlc-as-a-live-stream-encoder-with-wowza-media-server-mpeg-ts)) Richard [Previous page](https://community.wowza.com/t/re-streaming-an-rtsp-stream-through-wowza-pro-rtsp-rtp/53.md?page=6) [Next page](https://community.wowza.com/t/re-streaming-an-rtsp-stream-through-wowza-pro-rtsp-rtp/53.md?page=8)
