RTSP not working

Wowza Streaming Engine
1

Hello,

We’re trying to use rtsp with VOD for android support.

In our Application.xml for RTP we have:

		
                <RTP>
			<!-- RTP/Authentication/[type]Methods defined in Authentication.xml. Default setup includes; none, basic, digest -->
			<Authentication>
				<PublishMethod>digest</PublishMethod>
				<PlayMethod>none</PlayMethod>
			</Authentication>
			<!-- RTP/AVSyncMethod. Valid values are: senderreport, systemclock, rtptimecode -->
			<AVSyncMethod>senderreport</AVSyncMethod>
			<MaxRTCPWaitTime>12000</MaxRTCPWaitTime>
			<IdleFrequency>75</IdleFrequency>
			<RTSPSessionTimeout>90000</RTSPSessionTimeout>
			<RTSPMaximumPendingWriteBytes>0</RTSPMaximumPendingWriteBytes>
			<RTSPBindIpAddress></RTSPBindIpAddress>
			<RTSPConnectionIpAddress>0.0.0.0</RTSPConnectionIpAddress>
			<RTSPOriginIpAddress>127.0.0.1</RTSPOriginIpAddress>
			<IncomingDatagramPortRanges>*</IncomingDatagramPortRanges>
			<!-- Properties defined here will override any properties defined in conf/RTP.xml for any depacketizers loaded by this application -->
			<Properties>
			</Properties>
		</RTP>

When we try to access the stream from VLC player, we get the following debug information:

main debug: connection succeeded (socket = 11)

access_realrtsp debug: rtsp connected

access_realrtsp warning: only real/helix rtsp servers supported for now

main debug: no access module matching “rtsp” could be loaded

main debug: TIMER module_need() : 523.886 ms - Total 523.886 ms / 1 intvls (Avg 523.886 ms)

Are there other settings we need to configure for this to work?

Thanks!

Did you use port 1935 or open port 554?

rtsp://[wowza-address]:1935/vod/sample.mp4

Re-start Wowza, test playback in 1) VLC and 2) Android, and in 3) /examples/VideoOnDemandStreaming/FlashRTMPPlayer/player.html

Then zip up and send the whole /conf folder along with the current access log showing the above re-start and playback tests to support@wowza.com

Include a link to this thread for reference.

Hi Richard,

We’ve opened port 554 and tried with specifying that, as well as 1935 and without specifying the port. All return the same result.

Hi Richard,

We ended up figuring it out. It was due to a custom module that we did for authentication - apparently it didn’t work :stuck_out_tongue:

Thank you
