I have at least 6 or 8 customers with this camera. I have taken a close look at it. It uses its own packetization scheme. Sony provides the specification. I don’t think we will have a chance to create the depacketizer until the beginning of next year. We are very focused on getting Wowza Media Server 2 done before the end of the year.

Wowza and Flash does not support AMR.

Hi,
Note: By default Wowza Pro streams using UDP on ports 6970 - 9999 and TCP port 554. This can be a problem if you are streaming to a Wowza Pro server or Oscar that is behind a firewall on which these ports are blocked. To resolve this issue, you need to open up the UDP port range 6970 - 9999 and TCP port 554 on any firewalls between the Oscar encoder and Wowza Pro. You may also need to adjust the [oscar-ip-address] if the Oscar is behind a router that has provided a NAT address for the device.
Is there a way to change the UDP port range mentioned above? We have an Axis cam that responds that it is streaming its data on very high ports:

These ports (55320 and 55321) obviously lay beyond the default range which Wowza supports.
We are able to watch the direct H.264 URL of the cam (rtsp://XX.XX.XX.XX:554/axis-media/media.amp) using QuickTime player.

Hello to everyone,
I followed this instruction in detail BUT 
I am working on a fresh install virtual machine with Win2K sp4, all drivers and codec installed.
WowzaMediaServer 1.6.0 and patch12 applied, examples installed.
(streamType in application.xml in rtplive folder is set to rtp-live)
I’m tryin to connect with a 2N video door phone wich has rtsp protocol with h.264.
Wowza server on ip 192.168.3.54
Video door phon on ip 192.168.3.53
With VLC I can use rtsp://192.168.3.53 as address and the streaming is OK
Opening LiveVideoStrem client example and using

Hello,
Is there any way to pull multiple RTP streams from Axis cameras using a server-side configuration? We don’t want to expose original stream URL to clients. The only way to do it I have found so far is to use live.swf from examples, which tells the server about where to get the stream.
Thanks.
Note: By default Wowza Pro streams using UDP on ports 6970 - 9999 and TCP port 554. This can be a problem if you are streaming to a Wowza Pro server or Oscar that is behind a firewall on which these ports are blocked. To resolve this issue, you need to open up the UDP port range 6970 - 9999 and TCP port 554 on any firewalls between the Oscar encoder and Wowza Pro. You may also need to adjust the [oscar-ip-address] if the Oscar is behind a router that has provided a NAT address for the device.
This note seems to imply that Wowza Pro’s UDP streams can be reconfigured, is that true? Is it possible to configure Wowza to re-stream RTSP/RTP streams over a single port, or a smaller set of ports? Opening a large port range on a Windows server is a real hassle (ports must be individually typed in, or the process scripted). Plus, I’ve head that port connection performance is improved in Windows Server 2008, which should make having many simultaneous connections on a single port less of a performance concern.
Second, I’m not sure what an “Oscar encoder” is, I tried googling the term but the results were minimally helpful. I’m trying to re-stream an RTSP stream coming from a Sharx SCNC2607 IP camera, and both the server and webcam are located behind the same router. Might the IP camera be using an “Oscar encoder”, or is that something else entirely? I’m just trying to troubleshoot why it’s not working with the camera, even though I’ve confirmed the stream coming from the camera is works fine in VLC (though VLC doesn’t support the .3GPP audio).
Server: rtmp://192.168.1.40/live
Stream: rtsp://192.168.1.9/live_mpeg4.sdp

I wrote this little batch script to make it easier for Windows users to open these ports on their system. I’ve tested it pretty well. I’m not sure it makes sense to open these ports this way on Windows, there may be another way of doing it that makes more sense. YMMV.

Hey all,
I’ve followed the instructions closely, and I can’t get this to work. I started with a fresh 1.7.2 install, copied the files from the dev branch, created the folders, copied and edited Application.xml, and ran startup.sh from bin/, then opened the Live Video Streaming test.
Server: rtmp://localhost/rtplive
Stream: rtsp://192.168.1.16:554/oscar
No video or audio. No error messages from wowza. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
Hi Folks.
I too am looking into connecting an AXIS camera with h264 to a Wowza server for streaming live through Flash.
Does anyone have any live examples, and specifications on what they’re using (eg uplink speed/server setup) in order to gauge what performance we can expect? What sort of frame rates should one expect at certain sizes?
Given I’ve never actually seen one in action, if anyone has some URLs that I could see, that would be a great help to ‘really’ know that it’s being done, and done well, before I really sink my teeth into this…
Many thanks.

Hi all. Am still getting up to speed with h264/AXIS cameras/RTSP and Wowza.
AXIS released their first PTZ camera this year with h264 support - the Q6032-E.
http://www.axis.com/products/cam_q6032e/index.htm
It’s the only PTZ camera I could find so far which has h264 and RTSP support which I am planning to use with a Wowza server. The problem is that is has no audio capabilities whatsoever, unlike models such as the Q1755 which has been mentioned on this forum as one that works. You can get a third party pan/tilt solution for a Q1755 but it’s not what you would call ‘discrete’.
So I am having to go with the Q6032-E for a client, but I need to also provide audio in this solution as part of the stream. Synchronised (it will include people talking).
Can anyone provide any wisdom on how this could be done so that video and audio are sync’d up when they get to a Wowza server for delivery? AXIS have a ‘box’ planned in Q4 of this year which does exactly this for cameras which don’t have audio support, but I need to provide a solution sooner than later.
Hope someone can provide some pointers on this.
Many Thanks!
FW.
(please let me know if this should be in another part of the forum)
Hi,
I am evaluating Wowza Media Server Pro for a SaaS solution. But I got some troube when streaming from a AXIS 207MW camera. Iam using Wowza Media Server Pro 1.7.2 + WowzaMediaServerPro1.7.0-patch21.zip and added the property’s described in this thread.
First I tried to stream via vlc using rtsp (vlc rtsp://172.16.10.51:554/mpeg4/media.amp), this works perfectly. But when I try to stream to Wowza I don’t see the live video. (Iam using the LiveVideoStreaming example.)
Server: rtmp://172.16.9.140/live-stream
Stream: rtsp://172.16.10.51/mpeg4/med
I got the following output:
(forceInterleaved -> disabled / Only a snippet, cause’ many thousand lines, This seems like stream data, but dunno)

hi charlie
my self venkat from mascon global limited,I have facing RTSP Streaming problem.The problem statement is as follows
My camera pushing data in the form of rtsp(rtsp://172.16.50.11/12345)i want to retransmit using WowzaMedaiServer ,I have installed the trail verssion of the server.i found some of the example were there in installation package,i picked the"Live streamvideo "example,in that example it is picking up only rtmp url as an input not rtsp.how to retransmit the RTSP stream again using WowzMediaServer?
please help us
Thanks in advance
Thanks
venkat
I’m having a disconnect on where to point to the stream to use when using the flowplayer or JW viewer.
I was able to get our axis live stream to work using the the live.html example, but I typed in the stream name to the camera directly into the .swf just at the bottom of the wowza viewer.
how do i associate this with the JW or flowplayer viewer? By “this” i mean the stream name rtsp://[camera-ip-address]:554/axis-media/media.amp as an example. Obviously i’ll update our camera ip address in the stream name. Is this defined somehwere in the application.xml?
We have the streaming of video working properly. Is there a trick to stream the sound and play in jw player?
Hi, Charlie,
I tried the instructions in this article step by step, but got this in the error log:
RTSPCore.handleMessage: java.lang.NullPointerException
Could you tell me what’s wrong with it?
regards
Chen Fan
Step by step instructions for Re-streaming and RTSP stream through Wowza Pro.
Download and install Wowza Media Server Pro (version: Wowza Pro 1.7.0 or greater is required)
Download and install the most recent patch to get RTSP/RTP interleaving feature: https://www.wowza.com/devbuild.html
Create a new Wowza Pro application for streaming (may already exist if examples installed)
Create the folder [install-dir]/applications/rtplive
Create the folder [install-dir]/conf/rtplive
Copy the file [install-dir]/conf/Application.xml into this new folder [install-dir]/conf/rtplive
Edit the newly copied Application.xml and make the following changes:
Change Streams/StreamType to rtp-live
Add following properties to Streams/Properties container (there are several containers, be sure to add to correct container)
<Property>
<Name>sortPackets</Name>
<Value>true</Value>
<Type>Boolean</Type>
</Property>
<Property>
<Name>sortBufferSize</Name>
<Value>500</Value>
<Type>Integer</Type>
</Property>
Add following properties to MediaCaster/Properties container (there are several containers, be sure to add to correct container)
<Property>
<Name>forceInterleaved</Name>
<Value>true</Value>
<Type>Boolean</Type>
</Property>
Startup the Wowza Pro server
To play the stream, double click [install-dir]/examples/LiveVideoStreaming/client/live.html enter the following information and click the Play button:
[b]Server[/b] to [b]rtmp://[server-ip-address]/rtplive[/b]
[b]Stream[/b] to [b][noparse]rtsp://[encoder-ip-address][/noparse][/b] (Example: [noparse]rtsp://192.168.1.8:554[/noparse])
Where [server-ip-address] is the ip address of the server running Wowza Pro and [encoder-ip-address] is the ip address of the RTSP device.
Note: Some cameras do not support RTSP/RTP interleaving (sending the RTP packet data over the RTSP TCP connection) If this is the case then set the forceInterleaved property above to false, restart Wowza Media Server and try to play the stream.
Note: Some cameras do not send RTCP packets. If you see the warning log message:
Edit [install-dir]/rtplive/Application.xml and change the RTP/AVSyncMethod to systemclock.
Note: If you are re-streaming an H.264 stream from an Axis Communications camera such as the following models (which natively support H.264): M1011(-W), M1031-W, P3301(-V), Q1755, Q6032 the RTSP url take the form:
where [camera-ip-address] is the ip adress of the Axis camera.
Note: By default Wowza Pro streams using UDP on ports 6970 - 9999 and TCP port 554. This can be a problem if you are streaming to a Wowza Pro server or Oscar that is behind a firewall on which these ports are blocked. To resolve this issue, you need to open up the UDP port range 6970 - 9999 and TCP port 554 on any firewalls between the Oscar encoder and Wowza Pro. You may also need to adjust the [oscar-ip-address] if the Oscar is behind a router that has provided a NAT address for the device.
Note: Many players will not accept stream names that look like urls. You can use the stream name alias package to create an alias for the stream name url. This package can also be used to secure Wowza Pro so that it will only be able to restream urls that you specify. This package can be downloaded from here: StreamNameAlias.
Note: There is an issue when re-streaming an RTSP/RTP stream that is hosted by Quicktime Streaming Server (Darwin, QTSS) that after 2 minutes of streaming the stream will be dropped by QTSS. This is caused by the fact that Wowza Pro does not send RTCP Receiver Report packets back to QTSS. This causes QTSS to timeout and disconnect the stream based on the rtp_timeout value defined in streamingserver.xml. The current workaround for this issue is to set the rtp_timeout property in QTSS to 0 (zero) which will disable this timeout feature. We are investigating supporting RTCP RR packets in a future release of Wowza Pro.
Note: If you experience problems getting either the audio or video to play through Flash, double check the version number of the Flash player (Flash player version 9.0.115.0 or above is required). If you still have problems, turn on Wowza Pro debug logging (edit [install-dir]/conf/log4j.properties and change the log4j.rootCategory on the first line from INFO to DEBUG), try the encoder several more times, zip up and send your [install-dir]/logs folder along with screen shots of the encoder setup screens and the LiveVideoStreaming player screen and send a detailed description of your problem to support@wowza.com.

Troubleshooting live streaming issues

HI,
I managed to stream video from a rtsp stream, but I can not get audio … my test is: www.meway.it/clienti/genius
With vlc I can receive audio and video from the address rtsp://212.103.211.83:554/geniustv_live
I hope you can help me!
Hi, also wanted to use your WOWZA server to test our AXIS camera stream with the streaming server. So i installed the Wowza Media Server Developer on my machine, configured it like in the first post.
When i run examples/LiveVideoStreaming/client/live.html and put the URL for the axis cam:
rtsp://CAM-IP:554/axis-media/media.amp
There is no output 
when i use the same URL in the VLC player it runs!
Is the wowza server version wrong(developer) ? any ideas?
My last ouput in the console which is running:
INFO vhost comment defaultVHost Bind attempt ([any]:1935:4)
INFO vhost comment defaultVHost Bind successful ([any]:1935)
INFO vhost comment defaultVHost Bind attempt ([any]:8086:1)
INFO vhost comment defaultVHost Bind successful ([any]:8086)
… by the fact that Wowza Pro does not send RTCP Receiver Report packets back … We are investigating supporting RTCP RR packets in a future release of Wowza Pro.
Have RTCP Receiver Reports been implemented? I am not seeing any RTCP RR packets coming back from Wowza. I am using the latest Developer install for testing.
Wowza Pro does not support live pause. So the pause button in the FlowPlayer player will not work properly. This is most likely the issue. Only play and stop are going to work correctly with live video.
