I have input flow (some video from several addresses) over udp://@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxx

I try use ‘live’ and ‘shoutcast’ application for re-stream it to end-client ( from example folder LiveVideoStreaming ), but I do not receive any picture.

I want connect by Wowza to this stream (h.264) and re-stream it to client.

What’s wrong ?

If you are using Flash client only, you can use StreamType “rtp-live”. But if you are doing HTTP streaming, you should StreamType “live”, then start the stream in StreamManager with MediaCaster type “rtp”. Follow this guide:

I see, no the .stream file should work. It probably has .txt extension that windows is hiding

By the way, when I type in StreamManager full path, like udp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxx, in field ‘stream name’ - it is worked!

When I try use external file, that placed in ‘content’ directory, for example “live.stream”, that contain string udp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxx - is not work o\_O

Something wrong ?
