RTP Stream always "not healthy"

Wowza Streaming Engine
1

Hello together,

I have a question regarding RTP streaming in wowza Streaming server. We generate an audio rtp stream in our Q-SYS Core 500i http://www.qsc.com/systems/products/q-sys/q-sys-cores/core-500i/ which we want to redistribute with the wowza Streaming engine. Unfortunatly I cant figure it out how this could be done. Is wowza to do this? And if yes, how can it be done? I tried almost everything and read nearly every post regarding rtp. I set up an udp Streaming file and when i start the file everything Looks good, I get a network throughput but i cant play the file. In the log file the stream resets every cuple of second and says I is not healthy.

In the Q-SYS system I can specify a target and can choose between pcm and mp3. If i conntect via vlc to the stream by rtp://192.168.10.86:6970 (the ip address of the local pc and the port i spezified in Q-SYS) the stream is played.

How can it be played by wowza streaming engine?

Thank you and kind regards,

Oliver Eisele

Hello,

I assume that Wowza Streaming Engine is running on your local PC, using the IP address 192.168.10.86. If this is correct, you will need to have Wowza use a .stream file and ingest the live stream that is being pushed by your encoder on IP 192.168.10.86 port 6970.

In the “How to publish and play a live stream (MPEG-TS based encoder)” forum article. During step 2b, from the “Publishing the stream” section, in the “Stream URI” filed, you will need to use this value:

udp://0.0.0.0:6970

Hello, so there are two ways to “redistribute an RTP stream” but the post is a bit vague as a few protocols fall under that umbrella.

  • RTP is a transport protocol which is used to transport media data which is negotiated over RTSP

  • RTP is also used in WebRTC.

So, I will share with you what I think the person who originally posted this meant:
