Hi Everyone,
need someone’s help!
I’m trying to make a re-streamnig from vlc player.
I do the following:
make stream in VLC on the base of some video
make configuration for file *.stream and start live in wowza
start RTMP player and fill the proper values however RTMP player doesn’t play anything.
Can anyone to explain what’s wrong?
Denis
Run Wowza in stand-alone (/bin/startup.bat) mode and test. What do you see in the console?
Richard
Take a look at these guides, which show what we recommend for streaming from VLC using 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-publish-and-play-a-live-stream-mpeg-ts-based-encoder
Richard
Denis,
RTSP (for example rtsp://184.72.239.149/vod/mp4:BigBuckBunny_115k.mov) → 2. VLC (just re-streaming) → 3. Wowza (re-streaming) - 4. VLC , final client.
This looks like you are doing Wowza > VLC > Wowza > VLC. I don’t see a camera in this workflow. The camera.stream file would typically contain an rtsp url to a camera source, now Wowza.
Richard
Denis,
If the goal is to get that camera on working, we should work on that directly. Is it on a public IP? Can you play it in VLC directly? In VLC, play the rtsp url to the camera and look at Tools > Codec info. What is the audio and video codec info?
Richard
Denis,
So let’s keep focused on the camera and transcoding. At the bottom of this article are examples of how to transcode with VLC:
https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-use-vlc-as-a-live-stream-encoder-with-wowza-media-server-mpeg-ts
You will use the RTSP url you played in VLC as the input. This creates an mpeg-ts stream that you will re-stream in Wowza following this guide:
https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-dynamically-switch-between-rtp-and-mpeg-ts-when-streaming-rtsp
Richard
There is probably a bandwidth bottleneck somewhere between the player and Wowza. Try a lower bitrate.
Richard
DenisY, you might try to adjust your [install-dir]/conf/[app-name]/Application.xml file and change the from 12000 to 13000, and/or from 90000 to 0 (zero)

Hi Richard,
many thanks, it works. but I have to resolve something different:
1->2 works
2->3 doesn’t work
I filled “rtsp://184.72.239.149/vod/mp4:BigBuckBunny_115k.mov” in *.stream file. Started live and have following logs:

why timeout? what’s the reason 101?
pls help
Denis
Salvadore,
made the adjustment, but nothing changed. I found other message in log:
uri: RTSP/1.0 461 Unsupported transport
What does it mean?
by the way the VLC as a final client marked in log the following:
main error: open of `rtsp://192.168.110.129:1935/live/camera1.stream’ failed
Denis
Richard,
I have IP vga camera.
After the first configuration (according to “How to re-stream video from an IP camera”) I didn’t get the result.
I supposed that the codec isn’t proper for Wowza. So… I decided to check the authentic RTSP stream with codec that proper for Wowza…that’s why I took the rtsp://184.72.239.149/vod/mp4:BigBuckBunny_115k.mov instead of real ip camera.
In any way whether the real cam or generated RTSP I got just RTSP stream that can be processed by Wowza like from real cam. or I wrong?
Denis
Richard,
my cam has no public IP.
I can play it in VLC.
codec is MPEG part 2.
I found in tutorial (https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-re-stream-video-from-an-ip-camera-rtsp-rtp-re-streaming) that MPEG has to be part 10 and if you has different part you need to transcoded rtsp by VLC. I tried it and got nothing. so I decided to check real rtsp (rtsp://184.72.239.149/vod/mp4:BigBuckBunny_115k.mov).
Denis
Richard,
thank you very much. It works!
but why there is a delay? … about 3 minutes and more…and the delay is growing (
