Hi, I’m trying to rebroadcast the below rtsp:

rtsp://46.249.213.87/broadcast/bollywoodaction2-tablet.3gp

doesn’t seem to work,is it because of th 3gp format?

Are you seeing any indication of what the issue might be in the logs? You can start Wowza in stand alone mode /bin/startup.bat(startup.sh on Mac) and view the output in the console.

It looks like the udp ports are blocked or not mapped properly to the server Running Wowza.

Please review this troubleshooting guide:

[How to troubleshoot RTSP/RTP playback](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-troubleshoot-rtsp-rtp-playback)

In particular this section of the guide:

thank you Salvadore, I use the csf firewall on the server, I disable the firewall, so I suppose all ports are open and the rebroadcast still doesn’t work.

on the conf/VHost.xml, the ports 1935, 554 and 8080 are opened.

I got this stream working.

I create a .stream file in the content folder, with this URL as the contents:

```auto
rtsp://46.249.213.87/broadcast/bollywoodaction2-tablet.3gp

```

Open Stream Manager ([wowza-ip]:8086/streammanager) and choose the application. “start receiving stream” select MediaCaster Type “rtp” and Stream Name “file.stream”

It took a few seconds to start in the player.

See if that helps.
