We do send back packets but I think they are mostly empty.
Charlie
If using udp the rtcp packets will flow over port one greater than video port or one greater than audio port. It is not possible to send your own packets.

No short term plans.

Hi Charlie,
You can change the starting port number. It is defined in [install-dir]/conf/Server.xml. The setting is RTP/DatagramStartingPort. I don’t think this is the problem since the port number are determined by the RTSP negotiation. But see if this helps.
I already changed the starting port number to 6990 because the server is also running Darwin Streaming Server. I think the problem is the ending port number. If I change the starting port number to 55300 to try and include the ports which this particular Axis cam seems to want to stream its data on, I still get no working stream.
Further more: We have several Axis cams “hooked up” to this server and all of them “play nice” regarding the UDP port range (starting at 6990 in our case).
Is a firewall and/or router at the location of this cam possibly causing trouble?

Take a look at :input-slave=dshow://… or a variation of that option.
You can do NetStream.setBufferTime(0)
But take a look at this post first:

With JW player, you can set buffertime with Flashvar “bufferlength”.
&bufferlength=0
Richard
I don’t know Flowplayer yet.

Maybe the bitrate of the stream coming from the camera is too high?
Richard
I am using the M1031-W model, and it works great for me. You should get a model that natively supports h.264, for example: M1011(-W), M1031-W, P3301(-V), Q1755.
The biggest problem I had was my router, which needed firmware update.
You have to put the camera in the router DMZ, or setup pass-thru for ports tcp 554 and udp 6970-9999.
Richard
Wowza Pro streams using UDP on ports 6970 - 9999 and TCP port 554. They should be open on your router if you are using it and on your server, or security group for EC2
Richard
Charles,
People do run Wowza on VPS. You should have at least 1 gig of dedicated RAM. Generally, network bandwidth is the limiting factor, but I doubt you will have a problem with bandwidth or cpu at that level of use.
Richard
Frank,
I think that should be the IP of the camera, to forward request to, not a port.
Richard
Frank,
My experience is with linksys router only. I hope it is approx the same, but I am not sure.
Richard
Linksys also has a DMZ option, all ports are forwarded to the designated IP. See if your router has that option.
Richard
Yes, that’s my understanding too,
Richard
It could be recent issue with latest version of Flash 10. Apply the latest patch.

@ sschaefer:
Does that model have built-in h.264 support? I looked and it seems not to. Only a handful of the Axis cameras do. For sure these do:
M1011(-W), M1031-W, P3301(-V), Q1755
and reportedly some other models, but not sure which ones.
Richard
Venkat,
What camera are you using? Does it support h.264?
