Restream rtmp stream

Wowza Streaming Engine
1

Hi,

I’d like to re stream a live RTMP stream (for example, let’s take this one: rtmp://cp39414.live.edgefcs.net/live/argent@9751) using ffmepg to a Wowza server.

On the Wowza server, I added a “stream file” (rtmp://127.0.0.1:10000)

I tried these commands with no success (connection refused)

ffmpeg -re -i "rtmp://cp39414.live.edgefcs.net/live/argent@9751" -c:v copy -c:a libfaac -f flv rtmp://127.0.0.1:10000
ffmpeg -i "rtmp://cp39414.live.edgefcs.net app=live playpath=argent@9751 live=1" -f flv rtmp://127.0.0.1:10000

Do you know what command I should use to restream a live RTMP stream to Wowza?

Thanks

Thanks, it helps.

I was wondering how to restream a live m3u8 streaming.

I am using ffmpeg as well to stream mpeg-ts file to Wowza with UDP (and stream files) but I got messages like those ones:

frame=19957 fps= 25 q=-1.0 size=  179883kB time=00:13:18.44 bitrate=1845.6kbits/s
[mpegts @ 0x6650c0] PES packet size mismatch
frame=19965 fps= 25 q=-1.0 Lsize=  179994kB time=00:13:18.74 bitrate=1846.0kbits/s
video:151328kB audio:12736kB subtitle:0 data:0 global headers:0kB muxing overhead 9.710015%

I don’t know if it’s coming from ffmpeg.

Do you know another encoder that i can use to live stream mpeg-ts files to Wowza?

Would it be possible with VLC ?

Yes, VLC is a good solution, here is a guide to set this up:
