restreaming from rtsp to http

Wowza Streaming Engine

hi.

I want to restream rtsp from av tech ip camera to http clients.

I have all setup configured as in https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-re-stream-video-from-an-ip-camera-rtsp-rtp-re-streaming

my avtech.stream got:

rtsp://10.181.0.122/live/h264

and when I try connect to wowza from any player with

http://wowza:1935/aolliveinsecure/definst/avtech.stream/manifest.f4m

all I got is error and on server sie log:

when i try rtmp://wowza:1935/aolliveinsecure/definst/avtech.stream

the stream is played.

why is it doing rtsp://10.181.0.122/live/h264:rtmp://10.181.0.122:1935/live[h264]??

what does it mean? this camera has one port for rtsp and it is 554 wihout any possibility to change.

I tried interleave and udp, and for both the result is the same.

I’m totally stuck…

It sounds like it is working. The following notation is just for logging:

rtsp://10.181.0.122/live/h264:rtmp://10.181.0.122:1935/live[h264]

What is the contents of avtech.stream?

Does the camera require authentication? If so, if it is basic authentication, you can authenticate in the URL like this:

rtsp://richard:mypwd@10.181.0.122/live/h264

bartek,

Remove “sanjosestreamingrepeater” from LiveStreamPacketizers. It should just look like this:

<LiveStreamPacketizers>sanjosestreamingpacketizer</LiveStreamPacketizers>

Unless this is an edge server, in which case remove “sanjosestreamingpacketizer” instead.

What player, and what URL are you using? Try the Wowza example:

[wowza-install-dir]/examples/LiveVideoStreaming /clientOSMF/bin-release/LiveOSMFPlayer.html

I’m not sure about the connect failure. Seems to be reachable, but refused.

Cool! Thanks for the quick update

It is not working for rtsp->wowza->http.

As in the log which I copy/pasted here look at the last lines:

WARN server comment - NetConnectionConnection.connect: Failed to connect[10.181.0.122:1935]: org.apache.mina.common.RuntimeIOException: Failed to get the session[ConnectException: Connection refused].

WMS tries to connect to camera on 1935 and is not using established connection on 554. And I don’t know why? Why, when client is asking for rtmp all is good, there is no new connections from WMS to camera, but when client asks for http stream, there is such behaviour? and since my camera does not stream anything at port 1935, there is connection problem and client receives error…

As I wrote on the begining avtech.stream contains

rtsp://10.181.0.122/live/h264

there is no need for authorization.

it works for rtsp->wowza->rtmp

it does not work for rtsp->wowza->http

my application.xml contains:

[...]
<LiveStreamPacketizers>sanjosestreamingpacketizer, sanjosestreamingrepeater</LiveStreamPacketizers>
[...]
<HTTPStreamers>sanjosestreaming</HTTPStreamers>
[...]

and it works with other stream from vlc rtsp

I does not work with avtech camera rtsp through WMS to flash http client

In my first post I have pasted WMS log, when WMS tries to connect to some strange

LiveMediaStreamReceiver.connect: rtsp://10.181.0.122/live/h264:rtmp://10.181.0.122:1935/live[h264]

I cannot understand why?? camere has port 1935 shut. is there any switch or property that dictates this bahaviour?
